I am writing TR6...
I've recently produced a video called Free West Papua because I want to tell you the story of Papuans and their struggle for freedom against the illegal occupation of their land by Indonesian government and big business as RioTinto and BP.
Why am I telling all this to you?
Because Papuans struggle for their lives, their lands, their civilizations is our struggle to preserve our civilization, our culture, our traditions, our REAL economies against that global corpocracy of FAKE economy, predation and greed.
Industrialized civilization forced us to think we are disconnected from everything else. Cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am. They tell us to expand our minds and live our lives in a Cartesian way i.e. separating body from mind, matter from energy, black from white.
But we know the world is much more complex that that.
Indeed, everything is connected to "everything else".
We Are All Related: Mitakuye Oyasin.
Indeed, I exist because I am related to.
Body is Mind is Soul. Matter is Energy. Black is White.
Each country has its own culture & traditions.
We gotta go back to our roots, our traditions, our millenary way of life.
It is time we skip Cartesian approaches, elevate Our-Selves to Supramental Knowledge,
establishing dense connections to THAT "everything else"
We gotta learn from Papuans: a civilization highly integrated with THAT "everything else". A civilization wiser than the industrialized world.
This is why I am supporting the Papuans.
Visit www.freewestpapua.org for more info: December 1st is West Papua Independence Day!
On December 1st I am Raising my Freedom Flag. How about you?
Stay Tribal, Stay Real!
*mkatana
I am trying to understand what's going on in this world.
Everything is confused.
Reflecting about the Mumbai terrorist attack,I keep askin My-Self:
who profits from all this?
I think about the old adage
"cui prodest scelus, is fecit"
i.e. "Done by the one who profits from it."
cioè "colui al quale il crimine porta vantaggi, egli l'ha compiuto".
Who profits from an India-Pakistan (nuclear)conflict?
Who gains from a civil war between Hindu & Muslim inside India?
Civil War,
Religious Conflicts...
" But today there is something hysterical in the air..."
I shivered, then a precise page(41-42) of Salman Rushdie masterpiece Midnight's Children,came to my mind.Rushdie effectively depicted the irrational and subhuman behaviour of a violently enraged crowd, moved by hate,prejudice & false assumptions.
I don't want this to happen again!
We gotta open up our eyes. Change our mind-sets. And fight terrorism. United.
Love You All,
Marco
स्वस्तिर्मानुषेभ्यः svastirmānuṣebhyaḥ
LET GOODNESS PREVAIL AMONG ALL HUMAN BEINGS!
Bharat (India) is a State of Consciousness.
India gave me so many challenges and chances to learn about My-Self, unleash my full potential, expand my leadership and live a better life, everyday.
My training in Prasanthi Nilayam, under the guidance of my Guru,
Sathya Sai Baba,was hardwork, discipline & the willpower to persist.
It has been a turning point in my life.
Therefore I am thankful to Baba. Therefore I am thankful to Bharat.
In this time of threat, rage and sorrow, I am sending All My Love to Bharat.
And I wanna consider My-Self as a Bharatya.
How about You?
"Bharat" denotes the entire human family.
“When we refer to Bharat, the term is not related to any particular individual, country or circumstance. Although many different derivative meanings have been given to the term by different authorities, these are only their individual interpretations…
‘Bharathi’ denotes Goddess Saraswathi who is the Vaakdevata (Goddess of Speech). Hence every man born with the gift of speech is a Bharatiya. The name is not associated with any particular individual or country. The term ‘Bharatiya’ is applicable to the entire human family. "Bha" refers to the Principle represented by Divine Knowledge. "Self-knowledge" is "Bha." "Bharatiyas" are those who take delight in Self-knowledge. Hence everyone who shines by his own self luminous power is a Bharatiya.
Bharatiya (Indian) is one who acquired divine strength by Atmabalam (the power of the Spirit). So, whoever one may be, whatever one's country, he has to acquire this strength of the Spirit.”
Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
23rd of November, 1990

DISCLAIMER: Dear Reader(s), for better and relaxed reading, please DOWNLOAD the PDF file: the on-line iPaper format sometimes doesn't give back the REAL impact of TR5(aka, it sucks!hahaha).
In TRIBAL REALITIES ISSUE FOUR I raised controversial issues such as Bio-Piracy, Genetic Modified Organisms (GMOs), Terminator Seed techs (V-GURT), Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) on life-forms and, through my artworks and excellent contributors I stated our Love for MOTHER EARTH...do u remember my massive Vandana Shiva quote?
In the end of October 2008 she was back to Italy to attend TERRA MADRE.
TERRA MADRE, organized every year by Slow Food in Torino (this is the ITALIA I like!) "brings together those players in the food chain who together support sustainable agriculture, fishing, and breeding with the goal of preserving taste and biodiversity".
Vandana Shiva participated in a panel where she discussed a new "Manifesto on Climate Change and the Future of Food Security". check it out...SHOW & PROVE YOUR TRIBAL REALITIES
Take a look at this article, too.
Plus, watch Vandana Shiva's interview (spanish/english)at TERRA MADRE 2008 (above).
Stay TRIBAL! Stay REAL!
Nel Numero Quattro di TR mi sono concentrato su argomenti controversi quali gli organismi geneticamente modificati (OGM), la tecnologia dei semi Terminator(V-GURT), il brevetto sulle forme di vita(TRIPs) e, in generale, la necessità di irradiare Amore verso Nostra Madre Terra. Vi ricordate la mia citazione di Vandana Shiva ? Bè, Lei è tornata in Italia, come vice-presidente di SlowFood per partecipare a TERRA MADRE (questa è l'ITALIA che me piace) e discutere il MANIFESTO SUL CAMBIAMENTO CLIMATICO E IL FUTURO DELLA SICUREZZA ALIMENTARE e firmate la petizione sul Futuro dei Semi!
Firmate le petizioni qui:

Staveti Bene : )
Politician can u make the right decision for all of us?
You can talk de talk but will you walk de walk?
While I am meeting my contributors,receiving feedback & suggestions,writing/Beta-testing this issue 5, US elections are taking place and Italy is in the midst of political conflicts over key issues such as education, economy and democracy. Therefore it came out naturally to listen to this lovely tune from a fresh reggae band called Kora...they are from Aotearoa (New Zealand) and they're definitely dub...wise! Enjoy the video (above)!
Your Friendly Neighborhood,
Marco Katana
Uey! I am actually Beta testing Issue Five among all TRIBAL REALITIES aficionados & aficionadas, we'll be on-line pretty soon.
In the meantime, enjoy new videos (watch YouTube above)ranging from Gordon Gekko's "Greed is Good" creed, to John Carpenter's "They Live" to Nouriel Roubini talking about U-shaped recession...and, of course,

Any questions? I hope many...
Zee Ya Zoon,

US financial meltdown?
If you really wanna know what's going on check out the resources provided by financial journalist Max Keiser.
In the meantime, watch Tricky's "Money Greedy" video (on TR5 video rotation, widget above)...few lyrics of the song are the following...
Trample on my
Trample on my soul
Kill me with a quickness
Trample on my soul
Kill me with a quickness
Trample on my soul
Money greedy
I trust you over all
Money greedy
I trust you over all
You trample on my soul
You trample on my soul
You trample on my soul
Tricola-ola
Donde este bien je taime
I be dead when Im strong
Ghetto traps didnt trap me, I got out
Security social
Standing in government lines
Standing in government lines
Standing in government lines
Money greedy
You trample on my soul
You trample on my soul
You trample on my soul
Kill me with a quickness
I guess its strictly business
You kill me with a quickness
I guess its strictly business
....................................
We are living in an age of great changes and chances.
