Big Chief Been Buffaloed and the Dark War on Children

 THE ACTUAL ACCOUNT OF BIG CHIEF BEEN BUFFALOED
and How It Illuminates the Dark War Against Children

I was an American Indian, Cherokee mostly, though my mother insisted we were actually Tuckhahote.  She was not sure how to spell it, but she was sure that was how it sounded.  I was proud to be descended from Native American stock.

My first awareness of how a white-skinned blond-headed boy of my type was an American Indian must have been around the time I started first grade.  My brother who was four years older (but had a different father), had our mother's straight black hair, and dark eyes, and like her, was easily tanned in the summer sun. 

Mother was small but fiery.  She took seriously the responsibility of raising her two sons without the help of a father.  She and her sisters looked like Cherokee princesses and had a kind of offish dignity befitting their ancestral heritage.

Their mother, my grandmother, died when my mother was twenty-one.  I never knew my grandmother, but the few pictures of her suggested a slender beautiful American Indian maiden.  It was often said by her daughters that she could ride a horse bareback at full gallop while standing up!  Her nickname (which in her family was a term of endearment), was "The Squaw."

By the time I had finished the sixth grade, I received a certificate of award for having read every book in the elementary school library on American Indians.  I often wore a large feather tied with sewing thread in the back of my hair, complemented by a self-made "real" Indian shirt. 

I identified with all things American Indian including being faithfully on the Indian side of "Cowboys and Indians."  Finally, to my great relief, the blond hair of my adolescence turned a coarse jet black in my later teens.  I still blistered before I tanned, but eventually, I did turn a mellow light brown.

Backed by photographs of ancestors, and oral family histories, from childhood through my early sixties, I remained proud of my Cherokee/Tuckahote ancestry.  As an avid outdoorsman, I attributed hunting, and navigational skills to my "Indian blood."  

My sisters, brother, and cousins on our mother's side shared our heritage with pride.  I even had the privilege of teaching several times as a visiting professor at a Native American Bible College.  What a privilege to serve "my people."

Then, around age sixty-four, a small cloud of doubt arose.  It came over the horizon of a question about my blood type.  I had donated blood many times, but this was different.  I had to be typed and tested to see if I qualified to donate at Magen David Adom, the Israeli equivalent of the American Red Cross in Jerusalem. 

I was approved, but for some reason upon my return to the United States, I sensed a desire to do something I had never considered.  That was, to check if my blood type, which is one of the rarest, was frequent among Native Americans.  I was astonished to discover that of all the blood types, mine was essentially unknown among First Nations of the Americas.

Of course, that did not mean that I was not mostly American Indian, but it was enough to prompt me to call some of my relatives to confirm our heritage.  I received unanimous affirmation.  The long family history could not be wrong.  I was somewhat relieved, and yet that small cloud continued to grow.

About a year later, the cloud mushroomed into a full-blown thunderstorm with ancestral consequences.  The long version is intensely interesting to my family, and I, but the super short version is what is relevant here.

At that time, I discovered the identity of my real father.  In the process of this discovery, DNA tests were taken by myself and other family members.  When the indisputable results were revealed, I called my last living sister on our mother's side, told her that the DNA results were completed, and asked her this question.  "How much Indian blood do you think I have?"  She replied, "Probably up to 50%."

What I told her elicited an instant and loud response.  "No way!  That is just not possible!"  Well, not only was it possible, it was a fact.  The amount of my DNA attributable to Native American ancestry was zero!  Furthermore, because mine was zero, so was our mother's, and our Indian Princess grandmother!"

As further testing and more information were revealed about our true family history, it became clear that our Native American heritage was pure fiction.  By the power of suggestion and by being convinced of something we were encouraged to believe and wanted to believe, we had identified with a myth.

In fact, there had never been any actual proof of our supposed Cherokee/Tuckahote ancestry - no tribal records; no census documents - nothing - only naively and optimistically interpreted physical characteristics and family tradition.  We all believed it - truly believed it - but only because of the power of suggestion.  To use a colloquial term: "it was all in our head."

In American culture, the term "buffaloed," means to be fooled, deceived, or misled.  As a humorous way to deal with the truth, I created another fiction - my fictitious American Indian name.  The story you have just read is not fiction.  It is the actual account of Big Chief Been Buffaloed. 

How This Actual Account Illuminates the Dark War Against Children

Being misinformed, and mislead about one's ancestral heritage during childhood, may or may not result in a life-altering crisis, (and certainly not to trivialize in any way), but the account above does illustrate how easily the beliefs, and experiences of childhood are influenced.  The power of suggestion can be strong at any age, but never more so than during the malleable, and impressionable years of youth.

During that time of life, a child may believe any number of things that are only "in their head," and later grow out of it.  Conversely, it is also possible that a child so strongly believes in an untruth that not only do they not grow out of it, they grow into it.  That is, they become what they believe.  In extreme cases, such beliefs could be categorized as a mental illness.

How children are influenced, especially during early adolescence affects not only their choices but also their personhood for life.  Personhood can be understood as the permanent entity of human life that transcends the body and the brain, and even the mind (as we commonly understand what we mean by the mind).

Humans are infinitely more than the sum of their body parts (including the brain).  In fact, the mind/brain connection is both confusing and easily misunderstood. 1   Is the mind merely the output of brain synapses?  Is it the output of synapses influenced by external stimuli?  Is the mind a self-existing entity only capable of expression through the brain?  Alternatively, is there a third component such as a divinely implanted person coexisting with, but independent of both brain and mind?

The answers to these questions point us to one of three conclusions.  Humans are never actually responsible for their choices; they are only temporally and to a limited extent responsible; they are responsible and accountable.  If they are responsible and accountable, then both the person and the person(s) who influences others are equally responsible and accountable.

The answer is not ambiguous from a Bible perspective. "And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds" (Revelation 20:12 NASV).

Whether one agrees or not with the Biblical perspective, the fact of cognitive development remains central to overall human maturity.  For example, children can speak before they know what they mean, they can walk before they know where to go, they can reach up to the counter for a drink of water, but also to a finger-blistering stove.  Children can believe fairy tales as well as the truth, but may not be capable of knowing the difference.

This is profoundly important, especially when it comes to matters of self-awareness, self-identity, self-esteem, self-confidence, and most of all, the overarching concept of justice and morality.

During the years of their growing up, children need physical, mental, and spiritual nurture and protection.  This is especially so because by the time a child reaches the age of four or five they have eyes, hands, feet, legs, voices, motor skills, and mental functions capable of mimicking adult choices and behaviors, but they are not capable of properly understanding the wisdom or consequences of such choices and behaviors.

The human cerebral cortex is part of the brain that functions as our cognitive ethical, moral, and actionable judgment central processing unit.  Established science agrees that this vital brain area does not reach full processing capacity until roughly the age of twenty-five.2

This crucial area of the brain is the control center for decision-making, problem-solving, conscious thought, attention, emotional and behavioral control, speech production, personality, intelligence, and body movement. 3

So critical is this part of the brain that some experts suggest: "The fact that our brains aren’t developed until the mid-20s means that “legal adults” (those age 18+) are allowed to make adult decisions, without fully mature brains.  Someone who is 18 may make riskier decisions than someone in their mid-20s in part due to lack of experience, but primarily due to an underdeveloped brain.  All behaviors and experiences you endure until the age of 25 have the potential to impact your developing brain." 3

This leads us directly to the current dark war on children.  That is the evil attack on childhood innocence by pumping into functionally undeveloped brains the destructive thoughts of sexual pleasures and gender confusion.  Thoughts that children in an otherwise balanced and healthy environment are not obsessed with nor confused by.

It is relevant to consider the origin of this dark war against children.  While many societal forces have contributed, it can be argued that the core forces emerged from the U.S. Supreme Court 410 U.S. 113 (1973) decision that affirmed a woman's constitutional right to an abortion. 

The flood of death that resulted has served to degrade, demean, and disregard the value of human life, and the glory of motherhood.  Not surprisingly, following June 24, 2022, U.S. Supreme Court overturn of Roe v. Wade, advocacy for the dark war on children has intensified significantly.

Secular and societal forces alone are not the only causes promoting the intensification.  At the core are the forces of hatred against God, and a diabolical plan to strike out to harm the most precious object of His creation.  "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10 NASV).

One of the most pernicious lies of this dark war on children is that rather than introducing sexual and gender confusion, the so-called emissaries of liberation are only uncovering what is already there, and allowing its release from bondage.   Nothing could be further from the truth.

Consider this; there is a cognitive link between the vile indoctrination and sexual exploitation of children and the process by which children are taught to become terrorists and soldiers, something for which they are not naturally inclined.

"In fact, children become militants for various reasons, most of which have little to do with “choice.” While some youths choose violence, many children’s options are limited by the contexts in which they live, their socialization or the conditioning they receive, and the cruel and coercive tactics used by armed groups, which include kidnapping and force." 4

My generation can hardly believe this dark war on children is actually happening.  It would have been inconceivable during our own childhood.  Not because the exploitation of children was unheard of, but because the culture of our day held as sacred, the right of every child to grow up in a nurturing and protective environment shielded from those who would steal their childhood, and shackle them with memories so oppressive that for the rest of their lives, the demons of exploitation would visit them every time they stood before a mirror, and during endlessly recurring brutal nightmares.

It is one thing for a child to think they are an American Indian when in fact they are 100% European.  As an adult, the child might still prefer to have been an Indian, which is perfectly acceptable, and possibly noble.  

It is quite another to lead a child into sexual exploitation, and gender confusion, and facilitate the unspeakable horror of puberty-blocking drugs, and the surgical mutilation of their fearfully and wonderfully made natural bodies (Psalm 139:14).  In this dark war on children, these influences, and actions deserve to be declared nothing short of what they are - crimes against humanity - war crimes.

Has this dark war on children gone so far that it cannot be ended?  For those who have already been exploited, the answer is complicated, but to protect children yet untouched by this war, it is time to pass legally defendable laws that say clearly and loudly, "Leave our children alone or you will pay for your crimes!"

Whether this dark war against children is perpetrated in the shadows of a perverted subculture, supported by media, or even the law, (history is replete with atrocities carried out under the sanction of a government), it is a wickedness that will not go unpunished. 

The perverted criminals promoting this dark war on children may receive temporary support, and appear to be exempt from the punishment they deserve.  Nevertheless, make no mistake; their day of reckoning is coming.

Temporally, their day of reckoning will come from the exploited children, who as they mature throughout adulthood, will come to resent deeply the crimes carried out against them.  In fact, though statistics are only now emerging (in spite of aggressive resistance from perpetrators, and their supporters), evidence is mounting that such resentment is on the increase. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Ultimately, their day of reckoning will come with terrible and eternal consequences already prophesied by the Judge of all the earth.

"but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea" (Matthew 18:6 NASV).

"A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, and myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; the court sat, and the books were opened" (Daniel 7:10 NASV).

"And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds" (Revelation 20:12 NASV).

"Then He will also say to those on His left, `Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels'" (Matthew 25:41 NASV).
