Blind Faith

Posted on February 21, 2012 at 7:45 AM Comments comments (0)

In a world with so many lies being told, so much corruption controlling things, and being decieved by many teachers and leaders that we are suppose to trust, blind faith can be a very dangerous thing.


Faith must be based on evidence in one form or another. Evidence that we base our faith on does not always have to be physical proof or knowledge gained through experience only, faith can also be aquired through spiritual and intuitive evidence that is "felt" in the heart and relayed to the mind to be trusted and true.


Blind faith is not really having any faith at all, blind faith is in many ways trusting with no evidence at all within the self and often times accepting an illusion or delusion to be true and real. Having faith that you can trust in and work with in truth is most often gained through processing all evidence of the unknown through the self and making a determination from within ourselves only, not from outside of ourselves.

Regardless if you disagree with another's perspective, opinions, or beliefs, ignoring them is not always the wisest thing to do. They may actually be completely wrong about something but the key is to understand why they are believing what they are believing and to look at their beliefs or opinions from the perspective that they are seeing it from and learn why they are seeing things as they are and prevent yourself from making the same mistake. You can try to change another's perspective and take their blinders off, but do not waste your time for very long because some people will never try to see certain things from another angle and only fight you all the way.....


I do not advocate changing another's beliefs or path unless I see them harming themselves and or others and heading towards destruction.....but even then sometimes nothing can be done.....It's important to understand why these things sometimes happen and to prevent yourself from falling into the same trap that others are sometimes trapped in.


EXAMPLE: Kind of like the TV show; "Intervention"....out of love and compassion you can try to steer someone on the right path or to help themselves in a more productive and healthy way, but if they themselves choose not to change their direction, nothing really can be done.

February 2012 Forecast

Posted on February 15, 2012 at 4:35 PM Comments comments (1)

I wrote in last month’s forecast a short message saying that 2012 will be the year of “fading denial”. One could use the phrase “waking up” instead of “fading denial”, but I do not feel people will wake up this year as much as they will in the next, 2013. I feel many people will begin to see things in a different way, but they will not wake up…they will notice that denial is escaping them to some extent and see things a bit more clearly, but still will not be awake.


I am using this forecast this month as a template for myself to see how awake I may be right now. These predictions in this forecast is basically based on what I feel about what I am seeing going on in the world right now. I will write my feelings down and then read them again in a few months to see, well, my state of mind concerning how awake I am.


As many of you know I am a researcher and have a rather open mind, I follow politics and many other events going on and usually take what I feel I know and forecast possibilities and probabilities that may develop from what’s happening now, and what may possibly happen in the future as a result. Often times I do have dreams or awake visions concerning these things and write them down too.


After many years I have learned that anything is possible regardless of what we may think and even prophetic visions can be wrong depending of certain events that happen or can happen that may change the outcome of something….or alter the outcome of something.


Here it goes;


Iran and Syria:


Anyone watching the developments and rhetoric going on in the Middle East can with rather quite accuracy predict that we are on the brink of seeing a major conflict happening there soon. My feelings on this tend to make me think that it may be June or July before we actually see it escalate out of control concerning Iran. Syria I feel a bit differently about, I feel that will spiral out of control a bit sooner there and that it will be a bit like what happened in Libya, but with much more loss of life and destruction. I somehow think that Syria is being used as a testing ground for the Iranian response and how Russia and China will react. I personally think we will begin to see military action happen in Syria before the end of March. Russia and China will most likely put in place certain sanctions against the US and certain European countries involved in this military action as a symbol of being against it. I believe that Russia, possibly with China, may actually file war crime charges against the US and possibly pull out of the UN completely as a symbolic gesture to the world that they are not part of the banker war-mongering elite that is controlling the US and EU.


I almost think for certain that Israel will strike Iran and the US will declare it was “not on board” with Israel’s actions, but will come to Israel’s defense when Iran starts lobbing missiles in to Israel in retaliation.


I also think the Muslim Brotherhood will become major players in both the Iranian and Syrian conflicts, probably with more weight than the Arab League. Especially if they null and void the peace treaty Egypt has with Israel right now.


Other nations to keep a close eye on will be Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.


I could continue writing about this escalating situation, but I feel many mixed feelings about this and feel very disturbed even more about what I am seeing on a global scale. What I see happening in the Middle east I am actually also seeing the early stages of in many other countries also, like Greece and some other European countries. I am actually seeing it start to happen here in the States also.


I see Germany rising again as a super power or a country with great influence and strength.


There will be a major change happening concerning the world bank in July. There are rumors that Hillary Clinton will take the helm there and that will not surprise me. But then who would be Secretary of State? Hmmm?


Something major will take place before the November elections that will most likely secure Obama as remaining president (probably an actual congress approved declaration of war). I personally think Mitt Romney will be the nominee to run against Obama and personally I do not think he can beat him. If it’s money that determines the election, well, there is no one that has access to more than Obama right now considering he is a Wall Street and Banker backed president. I’m forecasting that Obama will remain president for one more term.


Earthquakes: I often write about earth quakes in these monthly forecasts, but I haven’t been very accurate predicting them in recent months. I still feel that a large quake is going to happen here in the US, quite likely very soon, and the likely places are of course California, Alaska, and even the Madrid fault, I strongly feel it will be California. I also feel there will be a very large quake, possibly a 7.0 or higher somewhere on the east coast of the US. I live in North Georgia and have had a weird feeling that I am rather close to where this quake may take place. So I am forecasting a large quake in the SE US this year. I could be sensing the Madrid fault, but it almost feels on the opposite side of me, so that would put it more in S. Carolina, SE Georgia, somewhere in that area.


Sadly I feel another nuclear accident happening, possibly due to an earth quake. This will begin to drastically change the way people tolerate nuclear power. Many whistle blowers will start to come forward and we will learn that almost all the nuclear power plants in the US are dangerously fragile and most have or are leaking radiation.


I’m also predicting a major meteor strike this year soon too, nothing that’s an extinction event, but a rather large and destructive one none-the-less. Many will be freaking out think and saying that a UFO crashed, but it will just be a meteor folk’s! Something is telling me that this meteor may hit the earth in S. America. I feel that it will cause mass destruction and people will be awed about the photo’s they’re seeing taken from the flights going over the area and being shown on the news. I don’t think there will be massive loss of life, I feel that this meteor will strike in a rather remote area.


Storms: Is doesn’t take a meteorologist to predict major storms coming as we have all seen over the last year that storms happening, especially big ones, are on the rise. I’m forecasting more of the same and I’ll go a step further. I’m predicting tornados in places that they have never happened before, possible hurricanes (small ones) forming over land, and major floods and droughts in places where they almost have never happened before. This will be the hottest summer ever recorded in many areas of the US this year, especially in Canada and Alaska. Texas and the SE will record many days of record heat also. I can almost be certain that all 50 states will break records this summer…..that’ll be a first huh?


Many places in Europe and Russia will record their hottest days ever too and break records.


Many will begin to insist that it is being cause by solar activity from the sun rather than from man-made global warming. Speaking of the Sun, we will see it basically get majorly active soon and strange things will begin to happen that scientists have never seen before, they will be forced to throw many of their theories out the window and begin a new direction of research concerning the behavior of the Sun. We will also see something strange happen with the moon too soon, scientists will claim it is an optical illusion cause by the pollution in our atmosphere, but most will know better. Other strange phenomenon will also take place in our solar system that cannot be scientifically explained by even the best scientists. Many things will begin to take place soon, but most of the phenomenon will begin to escalate towards the end of summer and into the fall causing many to hype up the Mayan “end of the world” theory about 12-21-2012. Remember, it is an end of an age, not the world….anything can happen though at any given time, even the return of the Gods, or aliens around 12-21-2012. Keep your eyes peeled folk’s, it’s going to get interesting this coming December!


More to come….


Added 2-21-2012

Watch for a possible new strain of flu or some strange virus to break out in the next 30 days.

Sensing something developing with the Pope too....


We are about to see an escalation in fear-mongering and mass-deception by the media and those that are in leadership. Probably peaking about March 20th or so. I'm not sure what's going to cause this, but it will be something pretty serious. It'll probably be due to a few things coming unglued so to speak, such as: certain foriegners/people being killed in Syria, Gas prices going out of the roof, Afghanistan scandles and chaos, massive trouble in Greece spreading into other countries, Iran events escalating (probably a terror or assasination event), a new US campaign scandal breaking out, etc etc etc....


Watch for a nuclear plant problem soon in the US, could be something like the Three Mile Island incident, either way it will not be good and it will be completely blamed on "Lack of Regulations" or a better way to put it, "Corruption of Regulations".


Sorry about all the bad news, it's just the way I see it and I feel that others need to be informed of what I'm sensing. If I'm wrong that's great! If I'm right, well, it's better to be aware of such possibilities rather than to be caught totally of guard. 



 

Heart, Mind, and Truth

Posted on February 15, 2012 at 11:20 AM Comments comments (0)

Sometimes, if not almost every time, it's not what you know in your mind or what you think you know in your mind to be the truth, it's what you feel in your heart, being connected to the mind at the same time that determines the truth to be known to the “self”...if you know something in your mind to be the truth but do not feel it in your heart to be the truth, well, something must be out of balance and wrong about the truth you “think” but not “feel” to be true.


 

If it doesn't feel right, it usually isn't....feel the truth yourself in your heart and do not rely on or trust your mind only…..The Great Spirit did not give us the mind/heart connection by accident, but made it so for validating truth from falsehood and to make it easier for us to walk in balance and beauty.


 

What is happening now days, especially in the media and other propaganda and control mechanisms is that we have been duped into using our minds only in almost every aspect of life. The spirit has been knocked out of us so to speak and we have been conditioned to think, act, and respond by using our minds only (often in a medicated condition or from a place of fear).


 

To know the truth is only getting half way to the destination, feeling the truth in the heart along with knowing the truth in the mind, the path or destination becomes more clear and there is very little or no mistake of the destination or truth of the pathway getting there.


 

To get where we are going, where-ever that may be, is surely going to be a better place if we know and feel the truth at the same time as we journey there….together.


 

It is time for not only for us to know the truth, but also for us to feel the truth at the same time. Without this heart/mind connection working in harmony together, we surely most likely will remain lost or unable to reach our destiny, where ever that place may be.

The Chameleon

Posted on February 12, 2012 at 12:40 AM Comments comments (0)

The great chameleon walks among us, shape-shifting from one shadow to another, always distracting the masses and tries unsuccessfully to blend in when needed and continuously shows himself unknowingly….not realizing how many are actually watching him.


Coming from nowhere and belonging to no one, the trail is cold and the tracks are few, the chameleon appeared mysteriously and has nowhere to hide now.


An imposter walks among us, shifting from one arena to another, deceiving the masses on a scale beyond imagination, following a script written from the past for the time we are in now.


Time will reveal what all are wondering and what many suspect, there will be no mistake when the back ground cannot camouflage the true colors of the intentions of the chameleon’s agenda, the imposters agenda.


Soon his time will be over and the truth will stun the world….when the illusion spends its power and purpose, when there is no place left to hide and no one left to protect the story.


The Chameleon has fooled and revealed himself, even he did not know who was who and when and where to hide….

The Great Marriage Mystery

Posted on February 6, 2012 at 12:50 AM Comments comments (0)

The "Great Marriage Mystery" in so many religions is not about a man becoming one with a woman, or about a person becoming one with a religion or a god (s); it is about Humankind becoming one and married with nature/creation and not being "Divorced" from it.

Life is not about "over-coming"....life is about "becoming"....becoming one and married to nature; becoming one and married with creation. If there is anything in this life that we must "over-come", it is the illusion and or denial that we can somehow survive being divorced from nature and creation.

Be An Active Part of the Truth

Posted on February 2, 2012 at 10:45 AM Comments comments (2)

Until the majority of people regain their dignity, respect, and the courage to stand up and create their own future, instead of allowing other fakes and delusional psychopathic corrupt individuals and their friends to do it for them, nothing is going to change all that much. Waking up doesn't only mean becoming aware of the truth, it also means becoming an active part of the truth......

January 2012 Forecast

Posted on January 26, 2012 at 10:05 AM Comments comments (6)

Hello everyone! Here we are almost one month already in to the 2012 year, time sure does fly. I hope everyone is doing well and all is fine.


Here are a few thoughts and forecasts that I have been thinking about for this year.


COSMIC: I really think something very strange is going to happen soon that is cosmic in nature. Perhaps “a sign in the Heavens” that will make us all wonder about what is real and what isn’t so real. I feel that the event about to take place will make most question reality and/or the physics of things that we all thought were the “basics” and “given”. I feel the “strange” event will take place most likely before April and will be physically seen by many and most surely be main stream news. Keep your eye in the skies folk’s; it’s going to be fascinating.


POLITICS: Earlier last year I predicted that Rick Perry would possibly be the main runner up against Obama in this year’s election, well; obviously I was wrong about that one! He totally blew it I suppose which I am grateful due to the fact I had a bad feeling about him. I actually have a bad feeling about all of them, they are all in bed together and the illusion that one is going to make a huge difference in helping this country straighten things out is, well, nothing but just that, an illusion.


Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney seem to be the top dogs in the race, but we may see someone new pop in to the race soon, possibly Jeb Bush! (Yikes!).


I think Ron Paul is the front runner (or very near being up front) and all the poles are fixed. The elite fear his presence and influence.


Don’t be surprised if Obama remains president this fall by executive order!


ECONOMY: I feel the economy will basically remain as it is throughout the rest of this year, or at least until late summer/early fall. We may see a slight increase in consumer confidence over the next few months. The only thing in my mind that will change things for the worse is if an all-out war breaks out with Iran and or Syria, or if there is a large terrorist event here in the United States. Other than that, the economy may actually grow a little bit this year, or just remain the same as usual. Towards the end of summer early fall is the time to watch out for an event that could drastically change the “status quo” so to speak.


Be prepared the best you can for anything! Because anything is possible and no one knows exactly how things will be from one day to the next considering the way things have been over the last few years. Be wise and be watchful.


EARTHQUAKES: There’s going to be another “biggen” this year, possibly as large as the one in Japan last year that happened on March 11th. I try to be cautious when predicting locations, but I am really sensing that a big one will hit the west coast of North America, possibly California, but anywhere from Baha to Alaska is likely. I keep my eye on the Madrid fault to and always am concerned about that fault shifting.


I’ve been sensing a fault coming active soon along the south east coast too lately, possibly S. Carolina or Georgia. Watch for more quakes in strange or unlikely places.


I also sense a large quake or strong volcanic activity around the Mediterranean Sea this year also. Italy and Turkey also comes to mind, not to mention the most active places right now such as; New Zealand, Chili, Japan, etc.


MISC: This year so far has started out rather quietly compared to the last two January’s. But we will soon have another wake up call to remind us that Mother Nature did not fall asleep and forget about us.


Dates of interest that come to my mind: February 7, 14, and 29, March 14, (18th), and 22nd.


More to come….

‎2012 will be the year of "fading denial".....many things will become rather quite clear for many people this year and "denial" will fade from their routines to some extent.


 

Waking Up and Getting Smart

Posted on December 31, 2011 at 2:00 PM Comments comments (2)

Waking up and getting "smart" with wisdom and knowledge just doesn't only involve fearless preparation of things that you "know" are going to happen, it also involves being a bit fearful and preparing the best you can for the things that you don't know for sure that actually may happen.....in the best way that you "feel" you should.


Waking up isn't just in the mind and soul, it is also in the heart and spirit.

The Sorcerer's Placebo

Posted on December 17, 2011 at 11:10 AM Comments comments (0)

PLACEBO: Something of no inherent benefit that is done or said simply to placate or reassure somebody.

 

Once one becomes "aware" of the Sorcerer's placebo and learns of the truth that it has no real "fix" or "remedy", it therefore has no more power over the mind, body, heart, soul, and spirit, and the placebo's lie, falsehood, and or illusion is no longer effective.

 

We are now entering in to an age that many placebo's are becoming known to be nothing more than sinister "remedies" or "mechanisms" that were administered to many cultures and societies by sorcerers so to speak, to dupe them into believing that the sorcerers way to "fix" things was the best and only way, and now evidence is being noticed that is proving nothing could be farther from the truth.....the destructive placebo's are failing fast and the sorcerer's are being revealed and will also fail in their mission to deceive others.

 

The placebo can never work and or be successful if one becomes aware that it is nothing more than a lie.

 

When a sorcerer's placebo is exposed as such, that is, to be nothing more than bad medicine to harm and or control others, it will backfire and reveal the sorcerers true intent, location, and identity, and will cause them to face the medicine themselves that they were trying to destroy or harm others with and basically self-destruct. The same exact placebo that they themselves were trying to trap others with will in fact cause the sorcerer to be unable to defend themselves, they themselves actually become trapped by their own doings and can not escape. The placebo itself will become the very thing that will destroy them and cause the sorcerer to cease to exist.

 

Identify the placebo and you will always reveal the sorcerer (and eliminate their effects)....and reveal the real solution or remedy that only the truth can create.

December 2011 Forecast

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 11:30 AM Comments comments (3)
Posted December 9th, 2011

Walmarts in the US will soon start a complete transformation.....one possibility may be;

We may actually see Walmarts become "federalized". 

Walmarts will soon start transforming into community distribution centers, check points and transfer stations, and become the actual centers or local government control centers for many communities....You will see a huge increase in a police presence at every Walmart very soon, most likely a military presence working alongside local police also. 

Without proper identification and/or permission, you soon will not be able to enter and purchase from a Walmart....Not having proper ID you may or will be arrested.

IRAN:
We most likely will not see the US or Israel attack and/or go to a direct and declared war with Iran until around September or early October of 2012 unless Iran makes the first strike. The same could probably be said with Syria too, these two countries are being picked apart through sanctions and covert operations within their boarders and are being pressured into making a first strike, especially Iran. If we do not see a first strike by Iran before next September (2012) the US/UK and allies will probably attack, most likely after an event that they can blame on Iran or that is actually done by Iran....

SUPERNATURAL EVENT?
Sometime in 2012, possibly late spring or summer, a supernatural event will happen or a mind blowing discovery will be made, (or released to the public) relating to creation, God, or actual life on other planets.....it may actually be something of the nature of the government coming clean about an event and admitting that they actually have in their possesion a UFO and or alien life forms/beings. Evidence may actually be released proving that we ourselves in fact may be part "alien". Something really weird like one or more of these possibilities are going to happen in 2012. 

ARAB SPRING?
Well, we are about to see "American Spring", protests will escalate big time next spring and be done in some of the strangest places and for many different reasons....

THE DOLLAR?
We will see the dollar remain rather steady (propped up) throughout most of 2012, until possibly about September. If the dollar actually collapses, it will be overnite, basically "instantly".....there will be no time to prepare for it so prepare now because it will most likely almost totally become worthless, at least for a short time. Better to be prepared now just in case.

EARTH CHANGES?
Yes, there will be more earthquakes, volcanos blowing there tops, and more "Extreme" weather, the cycle continues and most likely will even escalate more than what we have seen in the last year or two. Seems these types of events are becoming rather normal.

More to be posted soon.....

The World of Shadows

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 11:15 AM Comments comments (0)
The reason there is so much pain and suffering, so much greed and corruption, is that we as human beings have lost the connection to the source of creation and wander around lost in a world of shadows, ignoring the energy that is between us and the Great Mystery that has made all things possible, and lacking the love that has put us here in the first place.....being foolishly disconnected has created this reality in which we seem to be in, we need to consciously re-connect and realize that we can not survive living in the world of shadows only.

Arrogance and Greed

Arrogance and Greed always leaves a trail of destruction behind them and like a bulldozer plows everything out of their way ahead of them.

People need to wake up and see whats really happening around them and stop believing the lies and deceptive illusions that they are being spoon fed as the truth by these arrogant and greedy magicians.....People need not just awake and open their eyes, they also need to awaken their minds and hearts.

Those that can not or will not awaken to the arrogance and greed and see through the lies and deception spewing out, will be bulldozed out of the way and left on the trial covered in the debris of the past....

Truth Destroys

Posted on December 4, 2011 at 4:50 PM Comments comments (1)
For many, truth is what they fear the most and they believe the truth is the most dangerous and destructive force in their lives. They run and hide from truth like the plague because deep down they know that if they accept the truth that their whole world will be turned upside down and inside out through the truths massive destructive force as it destroys and annihilates all the lies and deceptions that they have grown so accustomed too and comfortable with...not realizing that the truth is trying to save them from being destroyed by the lies and deception that is causing the fear in the first place.

Truth for Survival

Posted on December 4, 2011 at 8:00 AM Comments comments (0)
I am committed to the Great One, by Spirit, through the power of the Great Mystery, to share my medicine and speak the truth as I see it in order to teach and help others during my journey.


I am self-learned through research and experience, taught many things by others, and am learning more as I go, not all the things I share are shiny and bright, some are rather rough and dark.

My medicine teaches me to share the truths I feel to be important regardless of how bright or dark they are, both are part of the journey we all are on and truth is necessary for survival, physically and spiritually....

Tribal Nations Conference 2011 and Beyond....

Posted on December 3, 2011 at 3:10 PM Comments comments (2)


President Barack Obama tells the Native American's at this year's Tribal Nations Conference, "You have a president that's got your back."

On December 2, 2011, President Obama hosted the White House Tribal Nations Conference at the Department of the Interior.  As part of President Obama’s ongoing outreach to the American people, this conference provides leaders from the 565 federally recognized tribes the opportunity to interact directly with the President and representatives from his Administration.  This is the third White House Tribal Nations Conference the Obama Administration has hosted and continues to build upon the President’s commitment to strengthen the government-to-government relationship with Indian Country.
Source/Article:


Some recent history about this Conference:
 
The Navajo Nation and Crow Nation were both represented at the White House last year, two of the many Indian Nations in the west where the federal and state governments are seizing Indian water rights by way of legal maneuvers.
 
Three years ago, at the first White House Tribal Nations Conference, President Obama was criticized for showing a lack of respect to Native American leaders. In the initial announcement, Obama first invited and welcomed all Native American leaders to come to the White House. Then, however, Obama changed the meeting place to the Interior building.
 
The question remains: Didn't Obama realize in the beginning that there are 565 Indian Nations?
 
Obama further insulted Native American leaders in 2009 and 2010 by failing to greet and shake the hands of Native American leaders, as a show of respect for the arrival of leaders of sovereign nations. Obama did not host a reception to greet the leaders. Instead, Obama made a speech at the Interior building, responded to questions, and left the conference.
 
Before the White House Tribal Nations Conference began that first year in 2009, Native leaders stood in long lines in the cold outside the Interior building, waiting to get inside.
 
Already this year, Native Americans are asking: Who are the regional representatives in the select groups invited to the White House? How were they chosen? Why hasn't all of this been made public?
 
The meeting is costly to attend for each individual Indian Nation, which must provide for its own travel, hotels and meals, etc. If all 565 Indian Nations attend, those costs could easily total over $1 million.
 
Further, Native Americans want to know from both Obama and their own leaders if this meeting is just for the purpose of political grandstanding and photo ops, or if it will result in real change for Indian country.
 
Article and source: Obama's nearly secret meeting with Native American reps this week
 
 
This Year's Conference, 2011:
 
Obama is on the campaign trail trying to get re-elected, collecting what Native American votes he can get along the way as he promises nothing but "Looking into things" so to speak, concerning Native American Education, Health Care, etc., according to contents/language of this years Tribal Nations Conference's executive order.
 
It even says in this order that they, (the govt.) will "co-chair" and if they have "some" funds available, that the gov "may" send some financial support. Nothing but a bunch of hot air in my opinion.....same ole song and dance as usual when it comes to the US gov dealings with the Native Americans.

From the executive order:
(c) Funding and Administrative Support. Subject to the availability of appropriations, the Department of Education shall fund the Initiative, including NACIE. The Department shall also provide administrative support for the Initiative to the extent permitted by law and within existing appropriations.
 
This order is only a declaration of being "more involved" and the gov probably won't have any funds to financially support the Native American's either concerning education. (They made that clear in the provision above!) This executive order is full of holes and is finely crafted by Obama's team of attorneys!

There really isn't anything "concrete" in this order at all, read it for yourself....
 
Read the complete "Executive" order:

Third White House Tribal Nations Conference Launches to Less Fanfare
 

President Barack Obama met for the third time with Native American tribal leaders on Friday, signing an executive order on tribal colleges and assuring them: "You have a president that's got your back."
At Friday's conference, Obama announced he had signed an executive order establishing a White House "initiative" on American Indian and Alaska Native education.
 
 
This president (Obama) nor any other president has ever had "The Backs" of the Native Americans....matter of fact several presidents have allowed the Native Americans backs to be broken or for them to be shot in the back legally.
 
Most Native Americans are the poorest people in America and live in the most harsh of conditions.....

 
Native American poverty continues under Obama
 
Obama's Indian problem
The US president has pledged to improve the lives of Native Americans. But he faces huge challenges, such as those on Pine Ridge Indian reservation where unemployment is more than 80%, the average wage is £4,400 – and life expectancy is 50

Over 20% of Native American reservation households have annual incomes below $5000, compared with 6% for the overall U.S. population. Only 8% of reservation households have annual incomes greater than $35,000, compared with 18% for the overall U.S. population.
