The Costs of Affluence, By Ben Axiom
"The Costs of Affluence," is an essay that has been floating around for quite a while now and has been re-printed in a number of
publications over the years.  We thought it would be a great addition to our articles here at Tiamat Publications.

The title pretty much sums it up.  Take a minute to read this great essay and find out why modern "civilized" culture is killing the planet
as well as  those "primitive" cultures who continue to maintain their traditional earth ways in the shadows of the last days of the
industrial system

New Release From Tiamat Publications:

Constructing The Panopticon:  Perceptions of Wilderness,
Methods of Domination and the Colonization of Native America
This is the story of the colonial occupation of North America - the land mass originally known as Turtle Island.  Framed
as a historical study, this book investigates the intersection between establishment and counter-cultural perceptions of
nature and power and discusses their relationship to the spread of Anglo civilization across North America.
The historical context of this study will be the colonization of Native America from the first landing of the European
invaders on the North Atlantic Coast through to the early 20th century.
This study overlaps into a number of established schools of historical study including Environmental History, New
Western and Post Western History, and Native American Studies. Overall, this study focuses on perceptions and
ideologies – the history of ideas. Philosophically and theoretically speaking, this study is guided by an epistemological
anarchism that will aid in the creation of an anti-colonial and anti-hierarchical history of perceptions of nature and
ideologies of control as they played out during the colonization of North America.

The Other Campaign Continues to Grow:

O'odham traditional representatives meet with Zapatista Delegation


A few months ago, a delegation of the Other Campaign (La Otra), visited indigenous
communities in the South West.  During this encounter, Subcomandante Marcos of
the E.Z.L.N spoke with traditional representatives of a number of South Western
Tribes including the O'odham, Navajo, Cherokee, Cucapa and Yaqui.
Subcomandante Marcos delivered a message of solidarity from the Zapatista elders
of southern Mexico to the traditional representatives of indigenous communities in
the South West.  

A call was made for unity in the upcomming year of resistance.
