JRE Tidbits Heyoka


 This is a tidbit. Tidbits are smaller posts about quick interesting comments made on The JRE. That I Can post from my phone while they are on my mind.  


Recently Joe brought up a policy the Sioux Nation had (Primarily the Lakota and some Dakota) of having a position called the 

Heyoka


The Heyoka was a community jester or clown that would roast everyone about everything. This was important because he would also even roast the leaders and higher positions orlf power/chiefs. 

If a chief deemed himself too powerful or important to be joked about, the people would consider this a sort of form of impeachment. 

It kept the leaders from growing too powerful or big for their britches, all in good humor. 

It brings to mind the relationship that seems to be developing on social media and the news where certain politicians deem themselves off limits for criticism.

She mentions how the cozy relationships between politicians and defense contractors often allocates more funds than the military is asking for to get more money exchanged into the hands of the contractors. She does mention it is also money to keep the military up to date that the pentagon asks for.      It is important to note that in an era where our politicians can't agree on anything and are very far apart on many issues, Republicans and Democrats are both join in supporting the military industrial complex.     Gabbard discusses how the government and media fearmonger into believing there is always an imminent threat so that the money can keep being pumped into conflict instead of  asking if it would help the American peopl...
