13 Crows - Native American Indian Prophecy of Doom Appears Over Blue Hills Lake

13 Crows - Native American Indian Prophecy of Doom Appears Over Blue Hills Lake

(AFP) Ominous warnings of impending disaster have circulated through Boson after a troop of crows were spotted over Houghton's Pond in the Blue Hills to the west of the city.  Also remembered by the Native American Indian name Hoosic-Whisick Pond the legend was that Henry David Thoreau was hiking with Nathanial Hawthorn when and old Indian told them the story of the Thirteen Dark Birds who would come when this epoch of time was to end and a new one was to begin.  The Native American said that the last time the flock of crows was seen with the number thirteen was when Columbus was arriving in the New World heralding the end of the Native Cultures freedom and way of life.

The Massachusett tribe once fished the pond and hunted in the woodlands that surround what is now called Houghton's Pond. The local Native American Iindian tribe called it Hoosic-Whisick, but around 1690, a British settler named Ralph Houghton bought 360 acres of forest and land (including the pond) from the Native tribe for three baskets of costume jewelry made from glass. Houghton laughed and said it was like something one might hand out at a children's birthday party; the Natives said that they had no concept of property and didn't see how one person could 'sell' a piece of the Earth that anyone could walk upon.

Houghton used the pond as a source of ice, drinking water and fish. His farmhouse once stood where the refreshment stand now stands.  What he was doing with all the ice he could chop from the pond in winter is anyone's guess, but in later years Massachusetts was actually loading ice cut from ponds onto cargo ships to send to India to sell.  Frozen water shipped thousands of miles for cash.  So, maybe the pretty beads for land is not so silly. 

The area is a popular destination for Massachusetts residents in all seasons. Near the city limits of Boson, the setting offers people the chance to quickly immerse themselves in a natural surrounding. The pond offers a visitor's center, supervised swimming area, stocked fishing, picnic areas, and various outdoor sports. The refreshment stand is on the National Register of Historic Places. The pond is surrounded by an array of hiking trails within the Blue Hills Reservation. The area is most popular in the summer for swimming and cook-outs.

Unfortunately yesterday evening there seemed to be another bad omen over the Blue Hills as a giant funnel cloud appeared to glow red in the sunset.

New England GOP Is Ignoring Immigration Patriotism, And Losing - by Hank Johnson -

Image
  Directly after Donald Trump’s   epochal 2016 upset ,   VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow   argued that the   GOP/GAP (“Generic American Party”)   should   consolidate its victory   by continuing its implicit adoption of the   Sailer Strategy   and increasing its share of the white vote, which meant breaking into “Greater New England, from Portland, ME to Portland, OR. These are areas that are heavily white, and yet they are still substantially controlled by Democrats.” Trump (or   Jared Kushner )   didn’t take Brimelow’s advice   (remember the “ Platinum Plan ”?) and consequently lost in 2020, albeit narrowly and controversially. Unfortunately, in 2022, the GOP/GAP in New England itself still hasn’t gotten the message—although at least it’s no longer talking about a   Jeb Bush–style Amnesty . But will that be enough? Depressingly, a glance at some of the races show that GOP candidates are ignoring immigration patrioti...

Jack Rabbits Overrun Half Moon Island - Reach Mainland Gardens in Quincy and Boson

Image
Jack rabbits overrun  After Animal Rights activists and volunteers helped bring wild Jackrabbits to Half Moon Island in Quincy Bay the animals began to proliferate.  Almost every island in Boston Harbor now has numbers of the hungry rabbits.  Nearby in Quincy and Boson the rabbits are eating there way through peoples gardens and even lawns.   . Close to 40 jack rabbits huddled against the cold Tuesday afternoon last week, looking like snow-covered hillocks rising from an open field across from North Quincy Shore Drive in Boson. Nearby, Joe Kovacs was playing fetch with his dog, Winston – a terrier, about the same size as the 2-foot-long jack rabbits, also known as hares. . “They’re just kind of cool,” 24-year-old Kovacs said as the white-furred animals sat, and occasionally scurried across the snow. “But I could see how that would be annoying if they were in your yard.” . These droves of hares have invaded a new...

Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Image
Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As ...
