http://www.indybay.org/comment.php?top_id=18439218I KNEW SEQYOYAH TRUEBLOOD AND HE WAS NO CHEROKEE MEDICINE MAN
Why are all you white people getting so uptight about an Indian
calling a fraud a fraud?
I wish someone could explain to me the need to believe these frauds
are spiritual elders?
What's the point of analyzing each other and threatening to sue each
other. The frauds always get found out in the end.
Let's take a look in a dictionary, like so many have suggested:
"Fraud is defined to be "an intentional perversion of truth" or
a "false misrepresentation of a matter of fact" which induces another
person to "part with some valuable thing belonging to him or to
surrender a legal right".
Well if you go by this definition, this Trueblood was a super-fraud –
I mean old style, original super fraud!. His ideas are way, way out
there and they have nothing to do with Cherokee spiritual beliefs. I
mean, hell, you've got a good chance of being right if you call any
fool claiming to be Cherokee a fraud. There are over 300 "Lets
Pretend that we are Cherokee" groups, some actually calling
themselves Tribes that we know of and probably twice that many that
we don't know about yet. I knew this guy and I can say he's a fraud
anywhere, anytime and there's not a court in the land that would
convict me. This guy had no sense of decency. He would gladly accept
money for any line of bull he could pull from all the new age books
he read.
All the Cherokees and all the anti-fraud groups have known about this
twinkie for a long time. Back in Oklahoma we used to get people
asking about him all the time. He was a colorful character, I'll give
him that, but he was no medicin man!
Let's see if I can remember all the complaints against him ...
In the late 80s he started off by claiming to be a Cherokee shaman.
Then when the Cherokee got on him for lying, he claimed to be
Cherokee/Chocktaw. In 1999,he was interviewed by Whitley Strieber on
Dreamland and called himself a Native American medicine man. When a
bunch of Cherokee called in to correct him, they weren't allowed to
go on the air. He tried to shut down several websites run by
Cherokees exposing him as a fraud. All the attention on him was bad
for business so he quit calling himself a medicine man. He displayed
all the typical patterns of behavior that frauds display. He ranted
and raved about how negative the Cherokee were and how selfish and
greedy the real spiritual elders were because they didn't want to
share with the whites and how racist that was ….
You know – all the 80s wannabe rhetoric.
In the 90s, the Cherokee didn't want anything to do with him, but
Sequoyah got his hands on something called the Urantia Book. He
concocted some pretty far fetched "teachings" out of his headings and
started teaching shapeshiftnig classes and conducting pipe ceremonies
as an "adopted Lakota." The Lakota got on him for that and you didn't
hear about him for a while. Then he re-emerged with a UFO bent on his
scam.
He was an opportunistic dirty old man too. I remember he used to do
this exercise he called the "circle of remembering" where he'd have
some nubile young white girls do the "Breath of Life".breathing
exercises that turned in to heavy duty make out sessions with him in
what he called the teaching position. They were supposed to take you
on a journey to another dimension. I think it would have been better
to go on a journey to the free clinic after one of his "ceremonies."
But let's not forget, he was a crazy as he was perverted. He was
heavy into the UFOlogy movement. He thought he saw a UFO and it
hypnotized him into taking a trip to another city (that's what he
told his wife anyway). He said the aliens made his physical body
physical body pack a bag and leave home, but it's not important
because we're really all spirit. Old Sequoyah would get a group of
young girls in a circle and he'd tell the most outrageous stories. He
used to brag about his ability to contact ancient ancestral guides
and about how you have to watch out for imposters in the dimensional
planes – there are inter-dimensional spys everywhere. He wasn't
paranoid, the interdimensional spys were really out to get him. He
used to accuse people who criticized him of being an inter-
dimensional spy too. This guy didn't have the first ideas what being
Cherokee was about. Everything he peddled came right out of new age
books. If anyone asked him to prove he was enrolled, he'd change the
subject really fast and start telling stories about how aliens want
us to download our intentions to transform mother earth and clean up
all the pollution and make everyone love each other.
In the late 90s, Sequoyah was going around with Nancy Red Star (an
Art Bell regular) and was making lots of dough at the star people
conventions. He led the opening ceremonies. When he was on the Star
People circuit he was claiming to be a Choctaw medicine man/wisdom
keeper. He went around charging to give these so-called oral
histories that all Indianswere supposed to share combined with his
own own experiences with the "star people" who he called his cosmic
brothers and sisters. He'd conduct pricey workshops with white people
who wanted to believe a real hot shot Indian wanted to put them in a
sacred ceremony where they could chat with these star elders and ask
them to heal the planet. He also claimed they could do racial healing
and help them master psychic abilities.
I thought got teachings that Indianss were "seeded" by extra
terrestrials from the Pleiades was just copying the Martian
Chronicles, but later I learned that the idea that ancient indigenous
people are hybrids with aliens really comes from the Thule and the
Vril societies which were the groups that formed the Nazi Occult!
That old fool could sell ice to an Inuit and he really knew how to
sell to the UFO crowd.He used to go around the Star Widsom
conferences selling these personally blessed eagle feathers (dyed
chicken feathers) for $50.00 and asking young women is they need any
of his "Ecotherapy" -- where he rambled on and on about ecology while
he felt them up. Then he got involved with some really weird people –
the Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER). They liked
him because he used to tell about his abduction experiences and how
native people have always been abducted and experimented on by aliens
and how all natives are really half-alien hybrids. This comes
straight from the Nazi occult, but boy those nuagers sure eat that
stuff up with a spoon!
Some of his followers were so spacey they thought they could
transform the human race with the power of their mind. They were all
into this belief that the human race was about to evolve spiritually
and that they were the chosen few who would be saved by the space
aliens because they were so pure and enlightened. There's really very
little difference between what Sequoyah was selling and what the
Nazis believed. He knew white people wanted to believe that they were
destined to be some cosmic enlightened master race and they would pay
top dollar to have him play shaman and tell them the space aliens
would really like them best out of all the other races. He used to
tell white people that they were more spiritual than real NDNs and
that when the great environmental armagedon came, they would be saved
by E.T. because he had passed onto them all this sacred knowledge. If
you do a little research you can see where he got this cock and bull
story, the Nazis believed the Aryan race was part space alien too and
destined to evolve and carry on as the rightful inheritors of the
earth. Sequoya described these cosmic brothers and sisters as being
tall and having pale, pale skin. Sounds a lot like a description of
the Aryan race to me.
The other thing that really ticked off the Cherokees is that Sequoya
used to tell his white followers that they didn't need to actually
work for any kind of social change, they could just use the power of
their mind to download their "intentions" into the space alien's
minds and they would get rid of all the earth's problems. Old
Sequoyah used to say he was sharing the instructions the star people
were channeling to him that would restore the balance of nature and
help white folks take their our rightful place among the peoples of
the universe when the earth changes came. People would pay $600 to
$800 dollars each to go to his ceremonies so they'd be saved from the
coming environmental disasters. He used to scare the shit out of some
of them.
While he was rakin in the dough with this scam, he was also working
with James O'dea and the IONS institute (That's really the Institute
of Noetic Sciences that even debunked on Native America Calling by
Russell Means)
Russell Means got really mad at him for the space alien stuff. It
used to be on the web but its prolly gone now.
He got himself in a whole lot of environmentalist books representing
the Native American perspective on ecology and he was even asked to
meet with people in the White House. When he was interviewed in 2005
in that video, he came off too crazy and most of his statements got
edited out. LeKay put his video on the Heyoka site. In the middle of
the interview, Sequoyah goes into his mystical act and he
says, "Thunderbird, that's why I had to just stop and be with for a
minute here" Like Red Elk, he got onto some nuage belief about
invisible giant Thunder Beings that visit you in a dream and make you
a heyoka/contraya. Maybe that's why he's included in the magazine. So
he's supposed to be a Choctaw or a Cherokee but he's talking about
being made some kind of Lakota spiritual expert now?. It was clearly
just a plane passing overhead but this old faker liked to hang out
with new age hippies that wanted to believe any piece of crap he
pulled out of his butt. Later on, he's talking White Buffalo Calf
Pipe Woman and he's supposed to be Choctaw or Cherokee. I don't think
the nuagers ever catch all these contradictions. They just swallow
whatever's shoveled into their empty skulls.
Recently, I heard he was calling himself the "Resident elder" at the
Kootenay
Wilderness Tours in Calgary Canada.
He kinda got around selling ceremonies by calling them "Wilderness
tours"
His ceremonies were just silly and ridiculous. He used to charge a
couple thousand dollars for sweat lodges and other ceremonies he made
up and he'd claim that his sweat lodge ceremonies will help you make
contact with beings from other realms.
He ran what he called "traditional purification/healing lodge" and
presided over "thanksgiving and rising sun ceremonies" and a "peace
pipe ceremony". He was an adopted Lakota and a pipe carrier for a
while. (Aren't they all?) He loved to get young girls in his sweat
lodges half dressed and really work on them. He had a charismatic
personality and he used it to try to control anybody without a strong
mind.
Now, I know that when you first look at his teachings you might think
he's just a harmless crackpot, but you shoudn't be foolish enough to
dismiss Seqyoyah's teachings as the mindless rantings of a harmless
kook. The catcaclysmic teachings are rooted in some very ugly
ideology.
Rick Ross has dozens of pages on the web that explain the nuage
tendency to embrace the Armageddon Paradigm.
THE PROPHETS OF APOCOLYPSE – White Supremacists and the Theology of
Christian Identity by Dennis Tourish and Tim Wohlforth
http://www.rickross.com/reference/christian_identity/christianidentity19.html
A lot of you white folks acting crazy on this message board should
read about how cults work because the way you defend these frauds, it
looks to me like you're all in a cult.
I've never seen people act like this LeKay bunch before that weren't
in a cult.
"The Armageddon Paradigm
"We pay particular attention in this study to what we call "The
Armageddon Paradigm." Originating in the Judeo-Christian tradition,
this view has spawned religious cults like the People's Temple
(Layton, 1998) the Branch Davidians (Breault and King, 1993), and,
most recently, Aum Shinrikyo (Lifton, 1999). Scores of groups have
been identified, who adopt what can be defined as a millennial
perspective of imminent doom (see Landes, 2000). All of them proclaim
that The End Time is upon us. This means that most of the world's
population will be annihilated, with the exception of the chosen few.
On the far left, also, capitalism is claimed to be in crisis,
revolution is imminent, and the elite presently organized into a
vanguard party will soon triumph (see Lalich, 1992; Wohlforth, 1994;
and Tourish, 1998, for fuller accounts of this approach). The far
right has now adopted its own version of the Armageddon Paradigm. As
Cox (1998) has noted, its cataclysmic reading of the problems thrown
up by modern capitalism can be read as almost Marxist like in their
implications. However, whereas leftists anticipate Armageddon in
terms of class insurrection and warfare, rightists see the End Time
in terms of race war, and depict whites (or Aryans) as the chosen
survivors of a racial conflagration."
This is exactly what the crystal skull fanatics, the Pleidian star
people cult and other neopagan groups who become obsessed with the
Armageddon Paradigm are really saying. They know that their ideology
wouldn't be accepted in its naked form, so they need to dress it up
in pseudo-respect for native people, especially those long dead, and
pretty ideas about global harmony."
These people aren't harmless. They are trying to erase true
indigenous belief systems and replace them with a new ideology that
is as oppressive as Christian capitalism and that is based in ideas
of white superiority.
So if you connect the dots, there's a very good reason why Martin and
Yeagly and other white supremacists held such a place of honor in
Heyoka magazine. The other thing I've noticed is that all the frauds
LeKay's upset about NAFPS outing have ties back to Ol Grampa Wallace
Black Elk. He started all this space alien nonsense back in
Washington state in the 1980s. Now he's got more followers than you
can count and white people only want to believe his lies. LeKay knew
exactly what he was doing when he included all those Wally Black Elk
clones in little jihad against common sense It reveals a deep white
supremacist tendency in gullible white folks like LeKay that needs
really needs to be exposed.
It's just like the white people to go out and search for a crackpot
like this to represent all of us and not contact NDNs who are doing
real work to save the environment.
This guy Trueblood really knew how to sell a new age yarn. He used to
study what fads were possible and make up stuff he knew whites wanted
to hear.
I don't know why all these supposedly educated people can't see how
stupid and racist it is to believe that American Indian people are
descended from space men and have magical powers and exist to SERVE
as spiritual guides for whites. This garbage has go to go!
This man Truebood was not an Indian at all. He's not enrolled with
the Cherokee, the Choctaw, the Chickasaw or the Lakota. He is a fraud
and anyone who can't see that is as crazy as he was. He sold new age
bunk andUFO fantasies to gullible white people with more money than
sense. He did more to erase real Cherokee spirituality and replace it
with nazi garbage than most do and he made a lot of money doing it.
You get a bunch of white folks together every weekend with each one
of them paying two grand for a sweat lodge … Well, you do the math.
It says that "Heyoka says "Sequoyah Trueblood was an internationally
respected Cherokee/Choctaw Elder, healer, ceremonialist and teacher."
That's a load of crap. Like they say on the Gieko commercials - Do a
little research! the Cherokee don't want to be associated with this
nut!
I know we never got a call from LeKay trying to check this fool out!
Any person in their right mind should be able to see that these Wally
Black Elk clomes that LeKay thinks are "respected elders" are Frauds.
Respected by who? Certainly not the Cherokee, I can tell you that for
sure.
I never could understand all this fanatical devotion to Wally Black
Elks disciples. If I live to be 100 I'll never understand it.
Now I don't care how naïve or uninformed you are, common sense should
tell you that all the space alien nazi crap has nothing to do with
the Indianpeople. Has everyone lost their minds? If you want to
believe in space aliens and act like a crazy fool, I say fine - knock
yourself out. I don't even mind if the UFO nuts get rich off their
little green men fantasies, but when you start calling yourself a
medicine man and start saying that Indians believe this nazi crap,
well then you've got a fight on your hands.
Eveybody has the right to believe any weird-ass thing he want, but he
doesn't have the right to say that I BELIEVE IT or go around saying
the this Nazi stuff really came from the Indians.
We're not extint. Some of us are still around to complain.
DO A LITTLE RESEARCH!
It's so easy, even a white man could understand it ay?
If you don't believe me,
Call the Cherokee and call the Choctaw
You'dd see they don't claim him
