#Oglala President Bans #ICE and U.S. Border Patrol from #OglalaLakota Nation, #PineRidge, South Dakota

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, January 28, 2026

"Oglala Lakota President #FrankStarComesOut issued a Presidential Proclamation today banning both ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol from the Oglala Lakota Nation. The #OglalaSioux Tribal Council banned ICE, and rejected an agreement to work with immigration officials, on January 21.

"President Star Comes Out points out in the Proclamation today that the U.S. Border Patrol is working with ICE in its 'unlawful conduct against Native people in #Minneapolis' -- which is within the Aboriginal Territory of the Great Sioux Nation.

"Calling it 'egregious conduct,' the President's Proclamation states that ICE and the U.S. Border Patrol are targeting minorities throughout the United States, and Native people are being detained and injured, in violation of Treaties and civil rights."

OODA loop can be useful. But also can be over-used.

First, most organizations aren’t fighter jets. They are aircraft carriers. Big. Slow.

Second, most teams are cross-functional. Cyber may OOD. But it’s front-line teams that Act.

Defenses still need to hold and win, even when (especially when) decisions and actions are sluggishly delayed.

Smokey got to be a big pugilist of a cat. He wasn't afraid of anything. We had some mean dogs people raised as guards and let loose on the neighborhood and they would chase and attack me sometimes. Smokey would fight the shit out of them to protect me.

He tolerated my brother but he didn't like most people otherwise.

But with me, he was always docile, always baby. He never bit or scratched me. He was a good boy.

This passage is one of those ones that always seems kinda relevant.

(From the Principia Discordia; 1963)

A SERMON ON ETHICS AND LOVE One day Mal-2 asked the messenger spirit Saint Gulik to approach the Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice said YES? "O! Eris! Blessed Mother of Man! Queen of Chaos! Daughter of Discord! Concubine of Confusion! O! Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a heavy burden from my heart!" WHAT BOTHERS YOU, MAL? YOU DON'T SOUND WELL. "I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe." WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? "But nobody Wants it! Everybody hates it." OH. WELL, THEN STOP. At which moment She turned herself into an aspirin commercial and left The Polyfather stranded alone with his species.

Plausible deniability is fading and the media are turning on Biden.

For years, they sat firmly with their thumbs up their behinds. Suddenly, it's “we've always wanted to report on genocide but we're just smol beans who report what the US government approves.”

The saddest part is that 71,000 figure is almost certainly low. It's mostly indirect tactics that end up killing Palestinians.

Anyway, let the rewriting of history begin.
