DECEMBER 10TH
I PROPOSE THAT DECEMBER TENTH BE NAMED HOPI DAY:
IN RECOGNITION OF THE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS OF THOMAS BANYACYA AND THE TRADITIONAL HOPI PEOPLE I RESPECTFULLY PROPOSE THAT DECEMBER 10 BE NAMED HOPI DAY AND CELEBRATED AS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
IN A MEETING WHICH IS SAID TO HAVE OCCURRED AROUND 1100, THE HOPI WERE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS BY A DIVINE BEING. MAASAWU TOLD THEM TO WATCH FOR CERTAIN SIGNS AND WHEN THEY SAW THE SWASTIKA, THE RISING SUN AND THE GOURD OF ASHES THEY WERE TO WARN THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD OF A TERRIBLE DAY OF PURIFICATION COMING SOON IF PEOPLE DON’T LEARN TO LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY WITH THE EARTH. THEY WERE TOLD TO GO FROM HOPILAND IN ARIZONA TO THE EAST COAST OF THIS ISLAND WHERE THEY WOULD FIND A GREAT ‘HOUSE OF MICA’ (THE UNITED NATIONS) WHERE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE SENT TO MAKE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND CORRECT WHAT’S WRONG. THEY WERE TOLD TO KNOCK FOUR TIMES (MAKE FOUR APPROACHES TO THE UN) AND IF NOT INVITED TO SPEAK TO RETURN TO HOPILAND, TURN THEIR BACKS ON THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND PREPARE FOR PURIFICATION DAY.
IN 1948 HOPI ELDERS HAD SEEN THE FLAGS OF GERMANY AND JAPAN AND THE MUSHROOM CLOUDS OVER HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI. THEY HELD A MEETING AND APPOINTED A PARTY OF FOUR TO DEPART FOR THE UNITED NATIONS TO WARN THE WORLD. THEY ARRIVED IN 1949 FOR THE FIRST KNOCK. THEY WERE TURNED AWAY. ROBERT MULLER REMEMBERS THEM. THESE DATES MAY NOT BE ACCURATE, BUT THEY ARE CLOSE. THE DELEGATION INCLUDED THREE SPIRITUAL ELDERS AND ONE YOUNGER MAN, THOMAS BANYACYA WHO WAS ASSIGNED TO ACT AS THE EYES AND EARS OF THE GROUP. HE WAS NOT CHOSEN FOR HIS KNOWLEDGE OF PROPHECY BUT FOR HIS COMMAND OF ENGLISH AND STEADFASTNESS. THE HOPI TRADITIONAL WAY IS PACIFISM. THOMAS SPENT ALL OF WORLD WAR TWO IN JAIL FOR REFUSING TO JOIN THE ARMED FORCES. (IN AN AMAZING REVERSAL A HOPI WOMAN, LORI PIESTEWA, WAS THE FIRST WOMAN KILLED IN THE 2003 IRAQ INVASION, AFTER BEING INJURED IN THE SAME HUMVEE CRASH AS HER BEST FRIEND JESSICA LYNCH.)
THERE WERE OTHER KNOCKS. A FRIEND CLAIMS TO HAVE HEARD GRANDFATHER DAVID MONONGYE, ONE OF THE ELDERS, SAY IN THE 80S THAT THEY HAD MADE MORE THAN FOUR KNOCKS ALREADY AND WEREN’T GOING BACK. THESE MEN WERE NOT YOUNG IN 1948 AND WHEN THE INVITATION FINALLY ARRIVED TO ADDRESS THE UN ONLY BANYACYA WAS STILL ALIVE.
ON DECEMBER 10, 1992, FORTY FOUR YEARS AFTER RECEIVING HIS ASSIGNMENT, THOMAS DELIVERED AN IMPASSIONED AND DRAMATIC WARNING TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. IT WAS THE KICKOFF EVENT TO THE UN’S YEAR OF THE INDIGENOUS PERSON; A VERY LONG PROGRAM OF NATIVE LEADERS AND WISDOM KEEPERS FROM SEVERAL CONTINENTS, INCLUDING RAINFOREST INDIANS OF ‘RECENT CONTACT.’ THE SPEAKERS TOLD OF THE HORRORS AND DEVASTATION BEING INFLICTED UPON THEM AND THEIR HABITATS BY POPULATION EXPANSION, RESOURCE EXTRACTION, ETC. ETC. THEY ARE LIVING ON THE FRONT LINES OF A WAR; THE WAR MODERN CIVILIZATION IS WAGING ON NATURE, OF WHICH THEY ARE A PART. THOMAS SPOKE LAST, DRAMATICALLY WARNING OF THE DAY OF PURIFICATION. SIMULTANEOUSLY AN UNFORECAST AND AMAZINGLY POWERFUL ‘SPIRIT’ STORM BLEW UP AND EFFECTIVELY SHUT NEW YORK CITY DOWN FOR THREE DAYS. IT WAS QUITE AN UNUSUAL STORM, WHICH LOCAL TV WEATHERMAN STORM FIELD EXPLAINED IN DETAIL. UNLIKE THE USUAL STORM, WHICH TRACKS TO THE NORTHEAST, THIS STORM WAS STATIONARY, CENTERED DIRECTLY OVER THE UN AND GAINING IN FORCE. THE DAMAGE MAY HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF BANYACYA HAD NOT CONVENED A PRAYER CIRCLE OF ALL THE DELEGATES STILL THERE THE NEXT DAY TO THANK THE STORM AND ASK IT FOR MERCY. THAT’S WHEN IT BEGAN TO RELENT. I TRIED TO TELL THIS STORY TO THE VILLAGE VOICE BUT IT QUICKLY BECAME OBVIOUS THAT WE WERE NOT EXACTLY IN THE SAME UNIVERSE. IT WAS THEN THAT I REALIZED THAT THE LEFT IS ALLERGIC TO SPIRITUALITY. AS A RESULT IT’S NOT ON THE RADAR AND WILL NOT BE ANYTIME SOON. HAPPILY THE WOODSTOCK TIMES’ IRV YARG COVERED IT SO THE NEWS MEDIA WERE PARTLY REDEEMED.
SEVEN NATIVE NATIONS FROM THE AMERICAS SPOKE THEIR PROPHECIES IN THE ‘CRY OF THE EARTH’ CONFERENCE AT THE UN THE NEXT YEAR (1993). THE HEAD OF THE HOPI DELEGATION WAS MARTIN GASHWESEOMA. IT’S A LONG LONG STORY BUT ‘CUT TO THE CHASE’ HE HAS REPORTEDLY (click on link below) SAID THAT HUMANITY HAS ENTERED THE FIFTH WORLD. IT IS POSSIBLE TO SPECULATE THAT THE ‘NEW AGE’ OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY HAS BEGUN AND IS MANIFESTING NOW. THIS IS VERY GOOD NEWS FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN READING THESE PARTICULAR TEA LEAVES FOR A LONG TIME.
THE BAHA’I RELIGION, WAS FOUNDED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY BY A MYSTIC WHO PROPHESIED A DARK AND DANGEROUS TIME AHEAD WHICH THE RED MAN OF NORTH AMERICA WOULD SEE MANKIND THROUGH. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT APPEARS THAT THE 17TH GWALYA KARMAPA, IN THIS AND HIS PREVIOUS (16TH) INCARNATION HAS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART IN THIS PROCESS, PERHAPS FULFILLING THE PROPHECY OF THE RETURN OF THE BAHANA.

I was at the UN, surfed the storm back to Woodstock and wrote this song in the week following December 10, 1992:
