#fame apache

[panther-os]

beating my head against the walls in Latine

here's eight things that atp will have me immediately closing out of any fic, AleRudy edition:

1.

❌ "the los vaqueros"

ah yes the famed and feared las almas battalion of Mexican special forces. the the cowboys

✅ "los vaqueros"

✅ "the vaqueros"

2.

❌ "the los vaqueros base"

✅ "los vaqueros' base"

✅ "the vaqueros' base"

3.

❌ "corporal alejandro vargas and sergeant rodolfo parra/major rodolfo parra"

look, fuck the military as an institution and also fuck the devs for using American rank structure for members of the Mexican army but

it takes roughly 2 years in the army to advance to Corporal. the equivalent in the Mexican army is Cabo, and Google will not give me the requirements for it no matter how I ask

it takes 3-6 years to advance to Sergeant. From what I can tell, the Mexican equivalent is also Cabo (where Sargento Segundo is closer to Staff Sergeant)

it takes 10-12 years to advance to Major, the equivalent is Mayor (not the English word mayor like of a city, don't be like those white people)

it takes 22-24 years, a bachelor's degree, and officer school to become a Colonel and it takes 18-20 years and a whole mess of leadership courses nearly equivalent to a degree to become a Sergeant Major

put some goddamn respect on their names

✅ Colonel Alejandro Vargas and Sergeant Major Rodolfo Parra

✅ Coronel Alejandro Vargas and Sargento Primero Rodolfo Parra

4.

❌ Fuerza Especiales

❌ Fuerzas Especiale

this is just not understanding Spanish grammar

✅ Fuerzas Especiales ("Special Forces")

❎ Fuerza Especial ("special force")

5.

❌ Sin Nombre ("without name")

Alejandro literally corrects Soap on this one in the game

✅ El Sin Nombre ("The Nameless")

6.

❌ "Alejandro Vargas, leader of Mexican Special Forces"

the leader of Mexican Special Forces is the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional - the Secretary of Defense - and Fuerzas Especiales is composed of three brigades, 74 independent battalions (like Los Vaqueros), 36 amphibious special operations groups. Colonels command single brigades at most.

Alejandro is capable of leading Mexican Special Forces, but it would require him to retire from the field and get more of a desk job, with far more politics than I think he'd have patience for

✅ "Alejandro Vargas, leader of Los Vaqueros - a battalion of Fuerzas Especiales stationed in Las Almas"

7.

❎ "our ancestors, the Aztecs"

look, indigenous identity is weird sometimes and I don't know enough specifics about the culture around it in Mexico to have a solid opinion, but I'm also very fucking tired of people thinking the only indigenous groups in Mexico are the Nahua (Aztecs) and Maya. if they're on the Texas border and their families have always lived there, their heritage is most likely seven different Apache nations/language groups in a trench coat with some Spanish conquistador on the side. they're most likely not related to any famous indigenous chiefs or other figures, but it's very possible they can trace their Spanish ancestry back directly to nobility

for example, I am related to absolutely none well-known Tsalagi or Kwikipa people as far as I'm aware, but I am a direct descendant of the brother of King Ferdinand the Catholic, which also means I'm a direct descendant of the guy who started the Inquisition (and now I'm Jewish (and pro-Palestine for those who want to know) so take that, colonizer)

also while Bayardo is Mexicano, Alain is Cubano, please be respectful when talking about the actors or when in their instagram lives and just. don't make assumptions y'all

8.

❎ "Los Vaqueros" is a nickname from the people of Las Almas, the battalion's actual name that is on all the paperwork and dog tags is more likely numerical or describing their role/location - like "11th Battalion" or "The Borderline Battalion" or something like that. maybe even both, like "The 11th Border Battalion"

The Warriors: A Forgotten Tribute to the Lenape and the Fight Against Erasure

When you think about The Warriors, the immediate image is that of street gangs battling for survival in a gritty, neon-lit New York City. But beneath the surface of baseball bats and leather vests lies a fascinating connection often overlooked: the deep ties to Indigenous American culture—specifically, the Lenape people, the original inhabitants of what we now call New York City.

The Warriors themselves, with their tribal structure, distinct identity, and fierce loyalty, are more than just a fictional gang. They echo the history, culture, and ultimate betrayal of the Lenape, who called Manhattan (originally “Manahatta,” meaning “many hills”) and the surrounding boroughs home long before colonizers arrived. This isn’t just conjecture—there are deliberate, undeniable parallels between the film’s story and the legacy of Indigenous resistance, survival, and erasure.

The Tribes of New York City

In The Warriors, each gang represents a unique tribe, hailing from different parts of the city and maintaining their own identity. This mirrors the structure of the Lenape, who were divided into three main groups based on dialect and geography:

Munsee: The northernmost group, encompassing Manhattan and the Bronx.

Unami: The central group.

Unalachtigo: The southernmost group.

These groups formed the “original boroughs” long before modern-day New York. The Lenape weren’t just skilled survivalists; they were visionaries. They cultivated one of the first extensive trade networks among Indigenous Americans, trading goods like corn, beans, and squash—the “Three Sisters”—that sustained entire communities.

Their governance, which often elevated women as leaders, was progressive even compared to European settlers. And their culture, which prioritized collaboration and open exchange with neighbors, laid the foundations for what would become one of the world’s most interconnected cities.

From Community to Colonization

The Lenape were initially friendly and open to the Dutch and British colonizers, even allowing them to interact with their culture. Early European settlers were stunned by how “civilized” the Lenape were, a stark contrast to the stereotypes they’d carried across the Atlantic.

But this openness became their undoing. The colonizers tricked the Lenape into forfeiting their lands, assuming they’d remain neighbors. Instead, the Europeans unleashed waves of violence—massacres, displacement, and the eventual eradication of the Lenape from their homeland. By the 1830s, policies like the Indian Removal Act solidified the erasure, forcing survivors to reservations far from their ancestral lands.

The echoes of this history resonate throughout The Warriors. The summit meeting called by Cyrus, the charismatic leader of the Gramercy Riffs, feels eerily similar to the council meetings held by Indigenous tribes to solve disputes or form alliances. Even Cyrus herself, with her vision of uniting the gangs against a common oppressor, channels the spirit of leaders like Chief Tamanend, a Lenape elder who sought peace and collaboration.

Colonial Parallels in the Film

Cyrus’s assassination by a white gang member and the ensuing chaos mirrors the betrayal faced by Indigenous leaders who sought to unify their people only to be struck down by colonial forces. The marginalization of the Warriors by other gangs parallels how colonizers manipulated and divided Indigenous groups, pitting them against each other to maintain control.

Even the Warriors’ names carry weight. Cochise, for instance, shares her name with the famed Apache chief who resisted European colonization. The name, meaning “hardwood,” symbolizes resilience—a fitting trait for a character fighting for survival in a hostile world.

And then there’s Luther, the maniacal leader of the Rogues, whose unprovoked violence against the Warriors feels like a microcosm of colonial aggression. His cries for destruction and his invasion of their turf reflect the terror inflicted upon Indigenous people simply for existing in lands others sought to claim.

The Warriors as a Modern Indigenous Legacy

What makes The Warriors so powerful, even decades later, is its ability to bridge the ancient past with the struggles of modern marginalized communities. The Lenape may have been displaced, but their culture is embedded in New York City’s DNA. From the very name “Manhattan” to Broadway itself (originally Lenape land), their influence endures.

The Warriors’ fight for survival, their solidarity in the face of overwhelming odds, and their refusal to be erased all echo the resilience of the Lenape and Indigenous peoples across the Americas. Cyrus’s vision of unity, though tragically cut short, symbolizes the enduring spirit of collaboration and resistance.

No matter how much history tries to erase the Lenape, their legacy lives on—in the landmarks they named, the practices they pioneered, and yes, even in the cultural touchstones like The Warriors. Just as the Warriors’ chant—“Come out to play!”—lingers in pop culture, so too does the Lenape’s influence, quietly reminding us of a people who refused to be forgotten.

The fight isn’t over. The Lenape’s descendants live on, their stories waiting to be told. It’s up to us to ensure those stories aren’t just remembered but celebrated—because history, much like the Warriors themselves, is always fighting to survive.

April 2025: As an unasked-for service to the U.S. Department Of Defense (for whom I used to work, briefly, back in the very late 1980s, and so am therefore obligated to help out where I can); I am hereby supplying the next month's worth of military #blackhistory biographies, that seem to have been inexplicably misplaced on a handful of public-facing DoD websites. Having been both an HTML instructor and a web developer, I totally get how these kinds of errors can happen --certainly it's nothing sinister or deliberate. But until such time as the DoD can get its ducks back in a row, I humbly offer this space as a substitute repository of such information.

Accordingly we begin with the life of Henry Ossian Flipper, the first Black man to be commissioned in the U.S. Army and also the first Black cadet to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, in 1877.

Born enslaved in 1856 Georgia, Flipper's earliest years were working in a wood shop with his father, himself a skilled shoemaker and carriage-trimmer. After the Civil War he pursued his education, first at Missionary Schools and then at Atlanta University (today known as Clark Atlanta University) in 1869. His dream, however, was to attend West Point. Determined to make every conceivable effort, he wrote to his state Congressman, James C. Freeman, asking for an appointment. After some back-and-forth exchange of correspondence with Rep. Freeman, to his great surprise, he secured his appointment and was inducted in 1873, along with four other African Americans. He was the first to graduate as a member of the Class of 1877, though his time at West Point was of near-total social isolation due to his race. One of his first posts as a newly-commissioned second lieutenant was with the 10th Cavalry (the famed "Buffalo Soldiers") at Fort Sill, Oklahoma --this was also significant as Flipper was the first-ever Black officer to command regular troops. (Previously the all-black regiments such as the Buffalo Soldiers had been commanded by white officers.) The unit later served with distinction (if one may call it that!) in 1880, against Chief Victorio and his Apache warriors.

Unfortunately Flipper's career later took a downward turn in 1881, while he served as quartermaster in Fort Conchon, Texas: a nearly $2,000 discrepancy was discovered in disbursed commissary funds, and Flipper attempted to pay the shortfall out of his own pocket. Despite this ill-advised effort (and even with his fellow troops contributing their own funds to what smelled like a setup), the discrepancy was still discovered by his superiors and Flipper was court-martialed, receiving a Dishonorable Discharge in 1882. He remained in the region and established himself as an Indian translator and also as a surveyor, working for the Department of Justice's Court of Private Land Claims, even providing expert testimony in several land grant court cases. He later became special assistant to the Secretary of the Interior, from 1921 to 1923. He pursued a brief mining career in Venezuela, but returned to the U.S. in 1930. Over the course of his life he published two memoirs, "The Colored Cadet at West Point (1878)" and "Negro Frontiersman: The Western Memoirs of Henry O. Flipper" (published posthumously in 1963). Both publications are regarded as definitive, indispensable accounts of life on the frontier from the vantage point of a Black man.

The U.S. Army reviewed and corrected Flipper's case to an Honorable Discharge in 1976, concluding that his 1882 discharge was unnecessarily harsh. President Bill Clinton formally pardoned Flipper in 1999.

MyBeauty Updated information (Enjoy the otters)

- Buggie’s first name has been changed from Charlene to Siobhan (pronounced shiv-awn)

- Speaking of Buggie, her ethnicity has been changed a bit as well. She is now Apache and Irish on her dad’s side but she remains Arawakan Cuban on her mom’s side. When I get around to updating her design (along with the rest of MyBeauty) there may be tweaks to reflect that side of her heritage.

- Cole’s first name is now Niccolò, with Cole being his nickname.

- Instead of appearing in the fame era, I decided Chen will appear in Season 3 (which I am still drafting lol).

- ^ I won’t reveal it yet but if you’re aware of Chen’s role in Buggie’s story then you’ll know that there will be another character introduced in MyBeauty soon.

That’s about it for now 🤍

New Episode available wherever you listen! This is the fourth episode in the series over the Apache Indians in the American Southwest. This episode covers the immediate consequences of the “cutting of the tent” and the murder of Mangas Coloradas by the US Army. Cochise, betrayed and angered by the death of his family, friends, & father-in-law goes on the warpath and punishes any and all White Eyes (and Mexicans) that he encounters. This obviously leads to far-reaching consequences for both the Americans and the Apaches of the American Southwest.

This episode also covers the Mescalero Apache and the death of Manuelito which ultimately leads to the Mescalero’s surrender and their transportation to the ill-fated Bosque Redondo by Kit Carson. The Navajo, swashbuckling Graydon and his duel, the election of President Grant, Joh and Geronimo’s retribution against the famed Indian Killer Lieutenant Cushing, the Board of Indian Commissioners, and so much more play a vital role in the 10 years covered in this episode.

Ultimately, all of this leads to what becomes known as the horrendous Camp Grant Massacre in Arizona which involves an incredible (although quite flawed) American named Oury, the Mexican-American Vecinos led by the Elias Brothers, the O’odham (Papagos), and the leader of the White Mountain Apaches (who was also the once owner of Felix the kidnapped boy) named Eskiminzin.

The cover features an O’odham warrior as he descends on Apache wikiups in Araivapa Canyon during the Camp Grant Massacre during sunrise.

First Sergeant Moses Williams (October 10, 1845 - August 23, 1899) born in Carrollton, Louisiana, was probably the son of enslaved. In 1866, he enlisted in the 9th Cavalry, one of two newly authorized African American cavalry regiments. These regiments gained fame as the “Buffalo Soldiers” while serving on the Western frontier. He was illiterate like so many freedmen, and signed his enlistment papers with an “X,” but his signature proudly appears on his first reenlistment papers in 1871. While serving as a Buffalo Soldier, despite the arduous duties and long days in the field, he learned the reading, writing, and mathematics skills needed to become an Ordnance Sergeant.

The 9th Cavalry was raised in Louisiana and sent to West Texas in the summer of 1867. Sergeants were appointed from the ranks. He was promoted to First Sergeant of Company F. He was transferred to Company K to serve as First Sergeant. The 9th Cavalry served in west Texas until 1875, scattered out in a string of small posts protecting the mail and stage route between San Antonio and El Paso. The 9th Cavalry transferred to New Mexico, where he reenlisted and was reassigned as First Sergeant of Company I.

The 9th Cavalry was embroiled in the Victorio War and a sequel is known as Nana’s Raid. A detachment of 22 troopers, including him, caught up with Nana. A running battle ensued, ending with a determined stand by the Apaches. During the fight, he repeatedly led flanking attacks. He rallied the detachment and brought it back into the fight. When the outnumbered cavalry was forced to withdraw, he and his lieutenant stood up to draw the enemy’s fire enabling the unit to rescue three cut-off troopers. He was awarded a Medal of Honor for his conspicuous gallantry that day. He was probably the first African American Ordnance Sergeant. He retired after 32 years of service. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

I'm Your Huckleberry: A Memoir

[head-post]

WikiLeaks founder to testify at Council of Europe

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will make his first public statement since his release from prison in June, addressing the Council of Europe in Strasbourg next week.

Assange, 53, will testify to the legal and human rights committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) on Tuesday, Wikileaks said in a statement.

The testimony will come after the parliamentary assembly publishes an investigation report into Assange’s five-year detention in Belmarsh prison. He previously spent seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London after claiming asylum.

In a statement, Wikileaks said the following:

“The report confirms that Assange qualifies as a political prisoner and calls on the UK conduct an independent review into whether he was exposed to inhuman or degrading treatment. The report discusses how governments employ both legal and extralegal measures to suppress dissent across borders, which poses significant threats to press freedom and human rights.”

Wikileaks said Mr. Assange was “on the mend,” having returned to his native Australia following his release. Meanwhile, his wife Stella said he needed time to “regain his freedom” and recover before speaking publicly at a “convenient time.”

A statement published on X’s website said he would attend the hearing in France “due to the exceptional nature of the invitation and to accept the support received from PACE and its delegates.”

Assange’s release in June followed an appearance before a judge in the US territory of the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean, where he pleaded guilty to a single charge after the US dropped 17 other espionage charges against him.

Origins of Wikileaks

Julian Assange had been programming since the age of 16 and soon took up hacking under the nickname Mendax. He later formed the hacking group “International Subversives” with friends.

Assange was suspected of crimes such as infiltrating the databases of the Department of Defence and other US agencies. In 1991, an investigation was launched against the hacker on suspicion of breaking into the server of the Canadian telecommunications company Nortel Networks. The investigation lasted several years. In 1996, Julian Assange pleaded guilty to most of the 31 charges, but was sentenced only to a fine of about $1,300.

He later worked as a computer security consultant and changed several professions in the information technology field. In 1998, Assange co-founded Earthmen Technology, an Australian company developing network intrusion detection technologies.

In 2006, he and like-minded individuals created the WikiLeaks website, which made publicly available classified information obtained from anonymous sources. The first document was published in December 2006.

Mr. Assange gained international fame after a video of the shooting of a group of civilians in Baghdad by two US Apache helicopters in 2007 was posted on the WikiLeaks website in 2010. Two Reuters reporters were among the dead. The site later published thousands of files with classified information related to the US military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq and correspondence of US diplomats. The documents were distributed by the world’s leading media outlets.

“My name is The Manager. I’m going to create a boyband. My boyband will achieve fame on a grand scale. Their music will dominate the popular charts and their faces will adorn the walls of millions of teenage girls across the globe. When manufacturing a boyband, the first thing we need is the right seletion of boys. In order to guarantee maximum success, each boy has to appeal to a specific set of fundamental rules. The rules are as follows: Rule 1 - The boys in the boyband must love, honour and obey their manager, and must have no other manager but me. Rule 2 - They must sacrifice their privacy. Rule 3 - The boys must not have girlfriends. Rule 4 - Some of the boys in the boyband will have to take 1 or 2 years off their real ages. Rule 5 - The boys must always be ambiguous about their sexuality, never confirming their sexual orientation (…) the centre of the market Rule 6 - They will always be prepared to smile. Rule 7 - Never complain. The boys must always be gracious, humble, like the boys next door. Rule 8 - The boys must be prepared to wear make-up. Rule 9 - They must never become close to one other, they must never become real friends, just incase one of them breaks down and has to be discarted. Rule 10 - The most important rule of all, the boys in the band must all be very, very, PRETTY! OK, we have a boys, we have our rules, now what we need is a groove, is this a groove? All we have a good groove. Let’s groove… OK, we have a groove…. now need to be able to move. Can a boyband dance? Can a boyband… BREAK?! OK, but the real boybands be able to perform a dance routine, which includes all the members of the band, including any members that are reluctant to dance. Now that’s good, you really are beginning to look like a boyband. But can you sound like a boyband? Can a boyband SING? JAY’s RAP Sometimes I get to feelin I was back in the old days long ago When we were kids, when we were young Things seemed so perfect you know The days were endless, we were crazy, we were young The sun was always shining, we just lived for fun Sometimes it seems like lately I just don’t know The rest of my life has been just a show Those days are all gone now but one thing’s true When I look and I find I did it all for you I did it all for you I did it all for you I did it all for you I did it all for you Ladies and gentlemen, we have a boyband.

remembering with laughter the Time Magazine cover by u/ElectricalAd9212

remembering with laughter the Time Magazine cover So I just had some curiousity and re-read the write up for Markle and Harry on the Time Magazine cover which declared them amongst the most influential people in the world. This was when they thought they were on their highest point of the beginning of their journey, upwards, on top of the world, their trajectory without limit, exuding power, worshipped, deferred to, illimitable, on the verge of being billionaires, American royalty, and bringing the monarchy to its knees.I'm saying lets laugh at it because its genuinely hilarious, but also telling of the sheer corruption and grubby fake PR of a certain kind of elite media. You can trace the pomposity of the words, the fakeness, the self aggrandising, its all so hilarious. The parts in bold made me laugh at loud.Its all fake! Imagine Markle's ego bloating into the size of Uranus and Jupiter as she read these pompous lies about herself! I imagine the most unforgivable thing to the liberal elites is that Markle is so awful she has exposed the whole charlatan fraud of the PR lies of this kind of charade we see all the time.Anyway enjoy. I can't stop giggling reading this hilarious and pompous screed for the clowns+++++​There’s a famous TV interview of Harry, the Duke of Sussex, when he was an Apache helicopter gunner a few years ago. He’s sitting close to an airfield in Afghanistan, commenting on some royal news, when there’s a bang and a group of soldiers scramble behind him.In one swift motion, he stands up, rips off his microphone and runs toward the action.That same sense of urgency drives Meghan, now the Duchess of Sussex, who has long been an active humanitarian and a powerful advocate for women and girls around the world. “This type of work is what feeds my soul,” she wrote in a 2016 essay. Springing into action is not the easy choice for a young duke and duchess who have been blessed through birth and talent, and burned by fame. It would be much safer to enjoy their good fortune and stay silent.That’s not what Harry and Meghan do, or who they are. They turn compassion into boots on the ground through their Archewell Foundation. They give voice to the voiceless through media production. Hand in hand with nonprofit partners, they take risks to help communities in need—offering mental-health support to Black women and girls in the U.S., and feeding those affected by natural disasters in India and the Caribbean.In a world where everyone has an opinion about people they don’t know, the duke and duchess have compassion for the people they don’t know. They don’t just opine. They run toward the struggle.Andrés is a chef and the founder of World Central Kitchen​​ROFLOLhttps://preview.redd.it/kyf8va5t909b1.jpg?width=625&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=c62ed840b3505ea8d0108ee5b771eb3774b658dd post link: https://ift.tt/dZqgb9L author: ElectricalAd9212 submitted: June 29, 2023 at 09:05PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit
