I just wrote up how I cut “George Bush Don’t Like Black People” in under 24 hrs back in ’05. No SoundCloud, no Spotify—just a TiVo full of Katrina, a smoky Canon GL2, a beat-up PowerBook, and a metric fuck-ton of rage. I synced TV corpsespeak to Legendary K.O. / K-Otix’s CC track, slapped grimy titles, exported a crusty QuickTime, and hurled it onto the Internet Archive. We embedded it on subMedia, the NYT linked it, and the site face-planted from traffic.

Point is: remix isn’t a genre, it’s a weapon. When the state abandons people and corporate media gaslights, jack the feed and make your own damn video.

OK I swear this is the last post I’ll make about the Oka Crisis this year… but it’s important to remember.

Alanis Obomsawin’s Kanehsatà:ke: 270 Years of Resistance didn’t just blow my mind — it shaped the way I approach filmmaking. It showed me that a film could be more than a record — it could be a weapon. A document of resistance that outlives the moment and keeps feeding the fire.

I wrote up some thoughts about that, and shared a few pieces I’ve made over the years about the so-called Oka Crisis — clips with Clifton Nicholas, Gord Hill and Ellen Gabriel.

Check it out here:

35 years ago, Mohawks at Kanehsatà:ke stood their fuckin’ ground against cops, soldiers, and colonial bullshit. Back in the day, I chopped it up with legendary comic artist and militant Indigenous historian Gord Hill to break down the Oka Crisis in under 5 minutes. This was from my old show It's the End of the World as We Know It and I Feel Fine for @subMedia . Still hits hard.

📽️ Watch it. Share it. Never forget that resistance is fucking fertile.
