We murdered Native Americans by murdering their food supply. To put it better, we controlled Native Americans by controlling their food supply. The hordes of salmon no longer in the Columbia every year, again, murdered by dams which were bullets to the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest. This was to force them to “negotiate,” force them to take whatever survival they could as not to face what their food might have faced, still will face, extinction.
Now look at our own food supplies, our own water, concentrated in the hands of a few suppliers—the suppliers whom once where us and nature herself—and ask, who is controlling you now? How are you “negotiating” your survival? Are you even negotiating at all, or have you too been made dependent on an oppressor for all necessities of your life?
