MNN: IDLE NO MORE. Editorial

mnnlogo1MNN:  IDLE NO MORE.  Editorial 

MNN.  Dec. 12, 2012.  The Assembly of First Nations AFN and Iroquois Caucus IC merged their corporations on December 4th 2012. The Iroquois Caucus represents the band councils on the Mohawk communities in Canada, not the legitimate Mohawk people or Iroquois Confederacy.  They take credit for our grassroots activism.  In fact they worked behind the scenes to help their benefactors, the Canadian government, to try to silence us and continue the illusion of freedom.  

The AFN represents the other colonial band councils in Canada.  It appears that these two corporate branches are at the forefront of the ‘Idle No More’ movement or taking over the agenda. They are trying to give the impression that all Indians follow the Indian Act, which is a lie. 

The merger is supposed to be the start of a combative relationship between the AFN and the federal government.  How? Both lobby groups are being paid by the corporation of Canada. 

The Iroquois Caucus has nothing to do with resisting the colonists.  They are well paid to pacify, confuse us and make sure that the true Confederacy cannot institute the Great Law of Peace.    

They have no legal right to enter into any negotiations involving our people, land and resources.   They only represent the band council corporate Indians and the voters in the reserve elections.  Grassroots peoples will not be sitting at the negotiating table when these three corporations [AFN, IC and Canada] wheel and deal away our resources and place more genocidal restrictions on us. 

Prime Minister Harper is frustrated over AFN’s failure to shut us up and make us subservient.  His fascist bill C [whatever!] will create more starvation, imprisonment and death from economic, racial, cultural, spiritual genocide.  Every successful independent Indigenous business is criminalized.   Harper wants a new team of super obedient Indians.  As the Economic Hitman says, “Don’t worry about the people. Just think about you and your family”.  

The 1924 Indian Advancement Act placed us under the most oppressive economic sanctions of any people on earth, to try to starve us into submission.  The reserves were and still are prisoners of war camps.  To eat we are forced into oppression.  They want to remove us to take our resource rich land for the multinational corporations and to create toxic garbage dumps.  [Attawapiskat, Keshachewan, Akwesasne, Kahnawake, Tyendinaga, etc.].  

The “It’s-No-Use” AFN met recently in the Gatineau to tell us how bad and hopeless everything is and practically told us we had to keep on living with it.    

The delegates crossed the Ottawa River to march on Parliament Hill and tried to enter the House of Commons.  The scuffle was over in an instant.  The government knew it was their puppets and could slam the door in their faces.  According to the Indian Act the Indians are not allowed to go in.  

parley

The true ongwehonweh of Great Turtle Island will not beg for what is ours. The visitors will be reminded of their illegal occupation of our land, theft of our possessions, the genocide and what they owe us.  

Why are our people fighting for treaties?  These illegal contracts are not worth the paper they are written on.  We don’t get anything.  They got the right to control us and take everything from us.  Every treaty has been broken, which makes them null and void.  

The only true treaty is the Guswentha in 1701 giving them refuge and to become of one mind with us.  They could never have any jurisdiction over us, our land, resources, air and water.  International law provides that when a treaty is broken everything reverts to one day before the treaty, June 24 1701. 

The occupiers issue corporate band cards.  The holders are deemed to be Canadian Indians under Canada’s corporate sovereignty and jurisdiction.       

If band cards were torn up tomorrow and Canadian corporations were renounced, only band council chiefs and those who vote in their elections would remain as their artificial corporate Indians.  The rest of us would be in the driver’s seat, not being part of the foreign corporations and having never given up anything.    

Canada loses $60 million a day, $22 billion a year, because of the discount prices they get for selling our oil to the US.  They want to sell it to Asian markets via the West coast.  We will never allow the pipeline to go through ongwehoneh land.    We closed down the Northern Gateway pipeline project.  In the 1970s we shut down the Mackenzie Valley pipeline.  Scumbags Enbridge was shut down.  The thieves don’t want to be honest with their landlords.  Instead they send their fake cops [police officers] to threaten us. 

The settlers came here with nothing, no common language, people or history.  They brought greed and a thirst for blood.  They are panicking, angry, frustrated and threatening us because they never thought they would be accountable.  It is time to dissolve the squatting illegal corporation of Canada.  Yes, we will tell foreign governments, corporations and their entities what they may or may not have.

We must work together as one inherent people of Great Turtle Island. There is a formula to come to a consensus so that we all survive.  If one goes hungry, we all go hungry.  Pushing for control of the interest on our resources is a start. 

all nations

We want peace, not pacifism.  We want control of our lives, our land, minerals, oil, water, gas, soil, eco-system, air and everything on it.

MNN: IRAN: HISTORIC SUPPORTER OF INDIGENOUS RIGHTS

Posted on by

IRAN:  HISTORIC SUPPORTER OF INDIGENOUS RIGHTS 

MNN.  Oct. 15, 2012.  Iran always supported human rights of the Indigenous people of Great Turtle Island.  When Terrance Nelson of Manitoba informed us that he was going to Iran to speak about the continued genocide of our people, he took the following letter.  Iran supported the Iroquois Confederacy application for a seat in the League of Nations in 1923.

“OCT. 8, 2012

TO THE PEOPLE OF IRAN:

She:kon,

You always supported our human rights efforts, especially in 1923. Briefly, the Iroquois Confederacy sent Levi General, the Deskaheh, to get recognition for our people at the League of Nations.  He came from Grand River [Ontario].  

With a Haudenosaunee passport, he went to Geneva, Switzerland to speak at the League of Nations in 1923.  There he presented “The Red Man’s Appeal for Justice,” and reminded the Europeans of their obligations under the Guswentha, Two Row Wampum. This pact was made in 1701 between the 48 Indigenous Nations and our allies of Onowaregeh/Great Turtle Island with the Europeans. It is the only agreement giving foreigners the right to live on our land.  They violated it and their occupation is illegal. 

Iran supported our effort.  British, American and Canadian pressure was too strong for Deskaheh to continue.  He returned home.

On October 7 1924 the Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigated him. Then they dissolved the traditional Six Nations government, stole important documents and wampums, created the Indian Advancement Act and the reservations.  The Canadian government declared an immediate election to displace the traditional government. Deskaheh was forbidden to return to his home and family.  He was murdered in Tuscarora New York after giving his famous last speech on the radio on March 10, 1925, against the United States and Canada’s policies of genocide.  

“In Ottawa, they call that policy “Indian Advancement”. In Washington, they call it “Assimilation.” We say it is outright tyranny. If this must go on, we would rather that you come with your guns and poison gases and get rid of us that way. Do it openly and above board.”

Historically, Iranians have been champions of justice.  We remember you for your goodness, good minds and for always looking out for us.  Nia:wen, Kahentinetha, Woman Title Holder, Bear Clan, Kanionkehaka/Mohawk Nation”.

Terrance was interviewed on Iran TV.  He spoke about the continued genocide of our people that Canada is built upon, particularly about the theft of our natural resources and the targeting of our women.   The police are not investigating this.   Their goal has always been, “kill the Indian”.

The PRESSTV interview is on YouTube:  “Canada has Ethnic Cleansing of Aboriginal on Agenda:  Native Ex-Chief”.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceZtHLieAKs

MNN: OBAMA, BUFFALO SOLDIER CHIEF

Posted on by


OBAMA, BUFFALO SOLDIER CHIEF 

MNN.  Aug. 23, 2012.  US President Obama obeys his masters just like the Buffalo Soldiers.  So grand is the illusion of freedom that they don’t’ even know they’re still slaves.  According to the myth, the Buffalo Soldiers were freedom fighters.            

In 1865 the Civil War was over.  US President, Abraham Lincoln, freed the slaves.  [Emancipation Proclamation].  White soldiers were deserting because they were terrified of fighting Indians. In 1866 the 10th Cavalry Regiment of Black soldiers was set up at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.  Lincoln promised the Blacks their freedom, 40 acres of our land and a mule, which they never got.             

Over 150,000 joined, to prove they were just as blood-thirsty as their white masters in stealing from us and murdering us without mercy.  

As former victims of racism, the Buffalo Soldiers became the champions of rape, genocide, brutality and mass murder of innocent people.  They took pride in killing people who never did anything to them.  They forgot all about the help we gave them because slavery is a violation of our Great Law.  The Choctaw, Cherokee and Shawnee helped them escape from their slave masters to the north. 

We were called “non-reformable savages”.  They were told there is a time when it is okay to kill Indians and those who did so were a force for good.  With pride and fervor, they attacked us 127 times to try to exterminate us.      

Between 1866 to 1890 ten Buffalo Soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor for slaughtering our men, women and children.  They were at the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890. 

General Colin Powell was inspired by these hired thugs.  He kept a statue of a Buffalo Solider in his office and called him the “wind beneath my wings”.

Obama is the Buffalo Soldier Commander-in-Chief who brags about murdering, torturing and butchering anyone he chooses.

As a Mohawk Rotiskenrakete said, should a civil war break out in the US, he felt that, “the Buffalo Soldiers would join their masters”.  They always do what they’re told.  The invaders and forced invaders will probably stand together. The mule and everything they were promised, they will not get!

Today websites are devoted to their exploits for protecting white settlers and starving and killing Indigenous.  Every year they celebrate at Fort Riley, Kansas, to remind their white masters, “Look!  We’re still here, ready to stand with you”.    

Bob Marley confirms this in his song, “Buffalo Soldiers”, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5FCdx7Dn0o

AURORA TODAY’S SAND CREEK MASSACRE 1864

Posted on by

MNN.  July 21, 2012.  The Aurora theatre killer, James Holmes, grew up in San Diego California.  His mother sent him to Denver to study for his Phd in neuroscience. 

Americans are horrified about the chaotic, horrific, tumultuous and bloody mass murders in the movie theatre showing “Dark Night Rises”.  Yet they live unconcerned over the top of our graves. This hemisphere is soaked in our people’s blood, all killed by psychotic mass murderers.  

Aurora is 100 miles from the site of the Sand Creek massacre, November 29, 1864.  Old Denver families were behind this mass murder of Cheyenne and Arapaho men, women and children.  

 

In the spring of 1864 the Cheyenne and Arapaho were ready for peace.  They met with US Officers, Evans and Chivington, at Camp Weld outside of Denver.  No treaties were signed.  The Indians were offered a sanctuary at Fort Lyon.  Black Kettle and over 500 Cheyenne and Arapaho travelled south to set up camp on Sand Creek, near Eads, the town later built on top of the massacre site.  Some dissenters headed north to join the Sioux.  

General Samuel Curtis sent a telegram, “I want no peace till the Indians suffer more”.  700 Cavalry volunteers called “100 Dazers”, assembled in Denver.  The camps of Chief Black Kettle, White Antelope, Left Hand and others, lay in the valley before them.   Chivington, with mostly drunken troops, headed to Sand Creek with 4 Howitzers.   Black Kettle raised both flags of peace.  Chivington raised his arm for attack.   Cannon and rifles pounded the camp.  The Indians scattered.  The frenzied soldiers hunted down and murdered the men, women and children.   A few warriors managed to fight back.  Silas Soule of Massachussets did not allow his soldiers to fire into the crowd.  

Troops continued the murders all day.  One bragged about killing 3 women and 5 children who were screaming for mercy.  They murdered all the wounded, mutilated and scalped them.  They cut open the pregnant women’s bellies and laid the fetus on the bodies.  They plundered tipis and divided up the herd of horses.  Black Kettle’s wife was shot 9 times and survived.  The Cheyenne Dog Warriors who opposed the peace treaty provided sanctuary for the survivors. 

The Colorado volunteers returned to Denver as heroes, with scalps of women and children.  Colorado residents celebrated.  Chivington appeared on a Denver stage telling war stories and displayed 100 Indigenous scalps, including pubic hair of women.  Many of the elite of Denver society today are the children of these murderers. 

Eye witnesses came forward and reported the murders.   Silas Soule testified against Chivington, and was murdered by Charles Squires.  It was found to be a carefully planned massacre.  Asked why kids were killed, “Nits make lice”, said Chivington.  

As word of the massacre spread, the Indigenous resistance to white expansion stiffened.  This massacre led to the Little Big Horn battle on June 25-6, 1876 where General George Custer and his men were wiped out by the Lakota lead by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. 

In December 29, 1890, the US 7th Cavalry commanded by Samuel M. Whitside lead the massacre of over 350 Lakota at Wounded Knee Creek. 

We have had to live with these horrors since the arrival of the invaders, while they send their “cry babies” to doctors for counselling.   

That mindset to slaughter people was brought here.  80 are shot and killed daily in the US, not counting stabbings and death by other means.     

Orders always come from the top.  On December 26, 1862 Lincoln sanctioned the hanging of 38 randomly picked Indian men and boys without trial, the largest mass hanging in US history.  One week later, January 1, 1863, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves.  The Blacks then formed the regiment called the Buffalo Soldiers who proudly massacred the Indigenous for their masters.  Today both races celebrate their plunder with medals and the theft of our land.  

Was James Holmes trying to mimic the mindset of those Denver people? If he is insane, then Washington, Grant and Lincoln, and all the other presidents who gave orders to totally annihilate us, are all insane as well.    

The Americans must be reminded of this continuing genocide.  If they don’t know their history, it is bound to repeat itself.  The lesson is: be careful what you ask for,  you might just get it.  

The movie-goers went to the theatre to see murder, death, chaos and plunder.  Then they got it for real!

As Bob Marley sang about, “Buffalo soldier, dread-lock rasta.”

RESISTANCE … IS NOT FUTILE

Posted on by

RESISTANCE …  IS NOT FUTILE

 
MNN.  13 May 2012.  Resistance being futile is a lie.  We must resist to survive. 
 
The European elite sent over invaders to abduct, assimilate or kill us to take our possessions, to enhance their lives.  Disease had almost wiped them out.  They roamed the earth as marauders, destroying entire societies to control and collect everything.       
 
Even our body parts are copied or stolen to achieve perfection.  Plastic surgery reconstructs their faces to look like a 5-year old unlined baby face, and their recreated bodies emulate our desirable distinctiveness. They dislike us but fry on tanning beds to look like us.
 
To control the world through force, assimilation and genocide they have to be unemotional, mechanical, “You adapt to us or we will kill you”.
 
Universal domination by taking what they want, controlling and using everybody, telling us, “We are a power that will absorb your territory, riches, energy, culture and you”.
 
Little is known of their origins and intentions.  They wouldn’t negotiate or reason with us.  Their history is artificial.  They thought if they spread their seed they could survive somewhere, which the wind blew into oblivion. 
 
When Champlain arrived in Quebec, he unloaded his weapons and started killing Mohawks. Their messengers warned us that resistance is futile, to lower our defenses, surrender our culture and to serve them. 
 
Murder and assimilation followed to make our lives and distinctiveness disappear.   
 
At first we found them comical, especially their devotion to greed.  We saw how they violated nature. 
 
Our spirit remained intact.  We resisted assimilation, slavery of the mind and body and maintained our identity. Indigenous collective consciousness is part of the natural world and the universe. Natural people are meant to resist annihilation. 
 
The invaders were coercive and tyrannical.  Today the mystery of the missing 125 million indigenous in the Western Hemisphere is hidden. No one was jailed for those 55,000 Indigenous children murdered in Canadian government and church run residential schools. 
 
After enduring brutality for centuries, Karoniaktajeh said, “We are the sleeping lion that is waking up”.  The Kaianerehkowa, based on the great natural power, will influence the entire world. 
 
People controlling other beings is not natural.  In the capitalist hierarchical system one individual controls everybody through force, threats and conditioning.
 
A queen bee like figure was created to run the hive, give orders to attack or create provocation to collect the goodies.  A pretend Mohawk recently made threats to put them into attack mode.
 
Integration of beings and culture for their use is repugnant.  500 years of Europeans using strength, technology and life forces of others is ending.
Thousands of species have been assimilated or destroyed and billions of lives have been exterminated.  The natural elements of resistance and survival remain.   Artificial elements are disappearing.
 
The invaders numbers and power are dwindling.
 
The hierarchical mind cannot defeat the Indigenous communal mind.
 
Our collective consciousness has been extensively studied to figure us out.  Our thoughts and ways have been misunderstood by the elite for centuries.  They see the natural world as chaos, and think their hierarchical system brings order to chaos.  [What a bunch of malarky!]
 
The white roots of peace have spread in all directions from Great Turtle island.  Follow the roots to their source.  Peace.

FOOTNOTES:  Joseph Goebbels:  “if they tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.  The lie can be maintained only for such time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.  It thus becomes vitally important for the state to use all its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state.
 
Hermann Goering [at Nuremberg Trials 1945-6]:   “Naturally the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany.  That is understood.  But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy.  It is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a Parliament, or a communist dictatorship.  Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.  All you have to do is tell them that they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.  It works the same in any country.”
 
Eto Wokoam, Mohawk, 1710, after returning from England:  “They rely on the written word.  It is how they will be judged.”
 

WHITITUDES CREATING PSYCHOPATHIC DICTATORSHIPS

Posted on by
WHITITUDES CREATING PSYCHOPATHIC DICTATORSHIPS
MNN. July 7, 2009. The old Nazi genetic hygiene blueprint is being dusted off by today’s imperialist jerks. They want to exterminate those whose life they think is unworthy. Former US Secretary of State, fat-bellied Henry Kissinger, calls us “useless eaters”. The Rockefellers, IG Farben, Loeb and Krupp were some of the main research funders of this Nazi program.The German holocaust was preceded by a prolonged economic crisis, inflation, food shortages, unemployment, lack of confidence in the democratic process, ideological crises, emergence of extremist political philosophies, a trend towards fascism and carefully staged propaganda bombardment. World War II was the one of the biggest organized mass murders in recorded history.

In 1933 the Nazis passed the T-4 law to carry out euthanasia on selected children. The target was 70,000. Victims were selected on political, economic and social basis. They were assessed by psychiatrists, studied and then murdered. They were killed with cyanide gas, morphine injections, chemical warfare agents or phenol injection directly into the heart. Their families were told they had gotten sick and died. No death certificates were issued. The bodies were secretly disposed of.

It took less than 30 years for psychiatrists to import their madness into science, politics and law for the Third Reich and beyond. [Psychiatrists – the Men Behind Hitler]. In 1941 the T-4 program was disbanded in favor of the “final solution” of the Jewish problem.

Psychiatrists and the military worked closely together to set the norms for those in power. Robert Malthus, Charles Darwin and Frederich Nietsche laid the ground work. Malthus 1766-1834 thought that populations grow so rapidly that they outdistance the food supply leading to poverty. Discourage the poor and lower class from having children, keep wages down and no welfare.

Darwin 1809-1882 created a fake scientific basis for the holocaust of the lower races by the higher civilized races. Racial purity programs were set up such as euthanasia and murder of the feeble-minded, crippled and sick.

Friedrich Nietzsche worked on the politics of hate. He preached that war is good, positive and to be embraced. He admired the refined Aryan aristocracy who took advantage of the weak. Those who disagreed with them were sick. Democratically inclined people were insane.

In the 1930s German doctors were invited to Canada to experiment on Indigenous children in the residential schools. [Hidden from History: the Canadian Holocaust].

Eye witnesses at the Kuper Island Catholic school in British Columbia described German-speaking doctors injecting them in the chest which caused deaths. Their families were told they had died of natural causes.

One ten year old Indigenous boy described how several of them were given two needles in the chest, one near each nipple. They fell down immediately and became dizzy. Some passed out and were taken away for special treatment and put in isolation. Their body became smelly and swollen and they would die.

Researchers used prisoners, mental patients and Indigenous children from reserves and residential schools. They experimented on erasing memory and personality, using drugs, electric shock and trauma-inducing methods which had been used for years in residential schools.

An Indian Affairs official said there was a gentleman’s agreement for the church to provide the kids. The Mounties delivered them to whoever needed a fresh batch of test subjects. The government, churches and residential school principles just had to turn over the dead bodies to get paid by the military. [IHRAAm Tribunal, June 12-14, 1998]. Remember when some pioneers became wealthy by killing us and selling our heads and scalps to the colonists?

Secret links between Nazi racial hygienists and the Canadian government continued after WW II. Part of the transition on Great Turtle Island was Project Paperclip. So Russians would not get them, over 1200 Nazi scientists were brought into US, Canada and Britain. They infiltrated the medical establishment.

Medical experiments were authorized through agreements between the government, the churches and the schools. Sara Hunter, a residential school survivor [Always Remember Love, 1999] described how a former German SS doctor code named Bob Armstrong worked for the Canadian military outside of Calgary from 1956 to 1958. He experimented on 25 abducted children who were killed slowly. In Ontario Indigenous children were brought to experimental labs by RCMP, who were residential school agents under the Indian Act.

Psychiatric associations were set up worldwide. They were an integral part of the German killing machine. When the war was over they moved on. They forgot that the Germans lost the war and turned out to be nothing more than Teutonic failures.

The fascists of today are using these same failed strategies to impose a dictatorial global government. Hard times are being created by economic, political and social pressure pushing us toward totalitarianism. The neo-cons think it is easier to sell an ideology that supports extermination of the social, political and economic dead weight. Today the poor that have lost their houses and live on the streets are seen as losers. They have become targets of the municipal governments.

From racial hygiene to Nazism to racial purity [or whititude] to one global order. We too learned from the tough school of experience! Let’s overcome them again without fear by asserting our human values as Ongwehonwe.

REAL ALGONQUINS DO EXIST AT BARRIERE LAKE:

Posted on by
REAL ALGONQUINS DO EXIST AT BARRIERE LAKE:

MNN REGRETS MISINFORMATION POSTED ON OCTOBER 12, 2008

MNN. Dec. 16, 2008. Yes, Virginia, there are real Algonquins. Created the natural way. Without any help from Canada’s Indian Affairs or their bureaucratic “Svengali”, Mother Joan Holmes. The Algonquins of Barriere Lake in northern Quebec have lived in the area now known as “LaVerendrye Park” since time immemorial, long before colonial Quebec or Canada existed. It’s a four hour drive north from Ottawa. They’ve taken care of the land so that the forest and water are pristine. Plenty of minerals lie beneath that they don’t want to disturb. Of course, the multinational corporations want to deforest the land, take out the fresh water and then dig for the minerals.

Two opportunists have been hanging around them for over 20 years, Russell “Potato Bug” Diabo from Kahnawake and David “Dutiful-Dog” Nahwegabow from White Fish Bay. They’ve hooked up with Jean Maurice “Poncho” Matchewan and his gang who are willing to play ball with corporations like Domtar, Tembec and AbitibiBowater who want to deforest and exploit the land. Why in a park?

Around 1993 Diabo and Nahwegabow, with the help of businesses and environmental groups, set up the “Forest Stewardship Council” FSC in Bonn Germany. FSC is an Orwellian twist to the real “double dealing” that some so-called environmental protection groups are fronting. The original Indigenous owners of the world’s forests have not been informed or consulted about this. FSC “is a non-profit organization that sets global standards for responsible forestry”. 80% of their revenue comes from governments, private foundations, corporations and non-governmental organizations, some associated with the United Nations. Diabo and Nahwegabow have both sat on the boards of FSC at the international and Canadian levels. Diabo was recently in Toronto promoting FSC.

FSC tries to provide accreditation worldwide as to which Indigenous lands can be deforested by the corporations. According to the Indigenous of Clayoquot Sound British Columbia, “it’s a fraudulent scam to allow marketing of old growth forests around the world”. [See Link #1 at end of this article] [See Link #2 for a list of their latest certifications]. It is a scheme that has perverted the efforts of such well known environmental activists as the Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, World Wildlife Fund, David Suzuki Foundation, Green Peace, the Pembina Institute, Ivey Foundation, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Rainforest Alliance, Ducks Unlimited, Global Forest Watch Canada, National Environment Trust, Environmental Defence Canada and others. Instead of promoting environmental protection, it looks like they are now lending their support, knowingly or unknowingly, to those who would exploit and pollute the environment for private profit.

The idea is that any wood or wood products sold worldwide will need FSC approval, or else! the scheme allows Rona, Home Depot, Ikea and many others to present themselves as “green” companies. FSC promotes a concept of sustainability. On inspection, it turns out that after divesting us of our trusteeship and control of our lands and forests, the corporations then set up “tree farms”. Who owns them? The companies, of course! The Indigenous people are left with nothing.

At Barriere Lake Indian Affairs took over administration and placed the Algonquins under the third party management of PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Just like Kanehsatake and Burnt Church! Divisions in the community were fomented. Then Indian Affairs, that holds the purse strings, incorporated the group and started to treat them like a business enterprise.

As a founding member of FSC Diabo is able to help the corporations find the best forests to get FSC accreditation anywhere in the world. The companies then go to the respective governments and get the permit to deforest the designated area. Diabo also works with members of the local band council or Indigenous group to “help” them sign illegal “Trilateral Agreements” with the province, federal government or colonial entity. The local Indigenous collaborators who sign on get very little from the deal. Their people end up having to leave their hunting, fishing and trap lines to get away from deforestation and subsequent flooding. As far as we can tell, Nahwegabow, the lawyer, and Diabo, the House Mohawk, seem to pull the strings and set up this scheme.

Jean Maurice “Poncho” Matchewan and his gang at Barriere Lake signed the Trilateral Agreement with Quebec and Canada. “Poncho”, as he is known up there, is a cynical man. He accepted power and money in exchange for compromising his people. The traditional Algonquins did not go along with him. After all, it’s their forest, their soil, their homeland and their livlihood. They remain sovereign, independent and never became Canadians. Their territory remains unsurrendered and never part of any treaty. In exchange for signing away all their territory the Algonquins have been promised some firewood, chump change and no say.

When opposition started openly brewing, Indian Affairs cut off a lot of programs to the real Algonquins – phones, hydro, water, heating oil, education and social programs and health care. The whole works! All gone! When Matchewan was subsequently removed by the people, he pulled the plug on the only generator in the community. The people were denied basic human rights and amenities and coerced into tying in social services as part of the big “deal” with the corporations, Canada and Quebec.

Why should Algonquins be reduced to refugees on their own land? The Algonquins have had to go into the bush to trap and fish to feed their families in one of the coldest winters in recent history. They are living in improperly-heated over-crowded homes that are potential fire traps. Indian affairs parachuted in four new people to “represent” the Algonquins along with a new constitution and electoral code. This was supposedly put in place with the consent of respected elders. The elders say their signatures were forged. Isn’t this an old colonial trick? In keeping with international law, agreements like this must be signed in public before the whole community which must completely understand and consent to the terms.

Poncho’s gang is now accusing Quebec and Canada of violating the Trilateral Agreement by not giving them their share of the profits. It looks like the road blocks of Highway 117 on October 6, 2008 were staged and video taped for worldwide distribution. This is where MNN got hooked in. It was incredible to see such a raw display of force against women and children. People have been made desperate. Some were paid $20 to $50 to go out on the highway and hold placards for these protests. They were forced by threats of violence and seizure of personal assets to take part. The Quebec Police SQ was more than willing to engage in brutality. They pepper sprayed and tear gassed small children and hit the women with batons.

Russell Diabo and others from Poncho’s faction are now touring Haudenosaunee and other Ongwehonwe communities trying to lure our youth to Barriere Lake to stand on the “front lines”. This plays right into the hands of those who are trying to defame the Mohawks and find an excuse to implement martial law against us.

Barriere Lake is part of the “North American Water Plan” that started in 1933 (the same year that Trenton Air Force base was built) affecting 36 Indigenous Nations. It’s a short sighted three pronged action: 1. take out the trees; 2. take out the minerals; and 3. dam and divert the rivers through aqueducts to the U.S. Remove those who are in the way. There are no signs of a back up-plan to clean up the environmental damage.

The corporate elites plan to block the St. Lawrence River and James Bay. The entire Great Lakes watershed will be turned into one big lake. This will be powered by nuclear reactor pumping stations. This appears to be one of the reasons for merging of Canadian, U.S. and Mexican military and law enforcement under the North American Union NAU and the Security and Prosperity Plan SPP.

An Algonquin elder told MNN he openly opposed their schemes. He and others that were labeled as “dissidents” have been driven from Barriere Lake under a policy of “banishment”.

Around the same time in April 2008 Ontario and Quebec signed a deal for Quebec to sell power to Ontario from hydro plants to be built on Algonquin land. Domtar also signed with Quebec to log and flood Kokomville, an Algonquin community. Quebec doesn’t believe the people living there should benefit from the resources they extracted for the benefit of foreign industries. A Domtar executive sits on the FSC Canada board. Talk about conflict of interest!

The Montreal supporters “No One Is Illegal” have been posting stories, raising money and getting support for the Pancho Matchewan group. sarita@resist.ca

Huge tensions surround this situation. The current economic melt down should lead to creating a sustainable economy and sharing the world’s resources fairly. We Indigenous people have always questioned why we are forced to subsidize foreign companies who extract profits from our resources and leave us with a mess. The province of Newfoundland just stripped the rights and assets of U.S. company AbitibiBowater Inc. They say they’re tired of seeing “their” [Indigenous] resources exploited with no return for the people! The Forest Products Association of Canada is now pushing Canada to extend a “work sharing program” that will turn unemployment insurance recipients into low cost slave labor so the multinational corporations can keep getting the high profits demanded by their greed. Barriere Lake Algonquins, you better dig in and find out what’s going on. [Oh! It’s beginning to look a lot like Sharbot Lake, everywhere you go – same people, same tactics!]

DID YOU VISIT YOUR RELATIVES TODAY?

DID YOU VISIT YOUR RELATIVES TODAY?

IS THIS PALESTINE OR SOON-TO-BE-ONGWEHONWE COMMUNITIES?

MNN. Nov. 25, 2008. It’s called “warehousing of surplus humanity”. All humans are equal. No one can decide that we are surplus. The object is to remove the target people from existence. This is real, folks!

First, the territory of the targets is occupied. Their communities, work, education, finances and colonial apparatus are controlled by the outside forces. The agenda is carried out by the bureaucrats and military. They are trained in oppression using non-lethal weaponry to stay within the bounds of the UN human rights conventions.

A fascist state needs an uneducated non-resisting people. To achieve this, lots of interference in every day life, schooling and economy are priorities. The youth are specially interfered with. Places of work, schools or commerce are not set up within the communities forcing them to work or attend school or shop outside.

The target group is usually isolated from anybody who could help them. They are demonized. There is a media blackout so that the perpetrators can “warehouse” other victims later on who will be unprepared and unable to defend themselves.

Eventually walls are put up around the targets with checkpoints everywhere. Food and essentials are stopped from going in and out. Electricity is turned off. Water is undrinkable. The bus breaks down. Detours are set up everywhere forcing them to spend hours to carry on their normal lives. “Flying [mobile] check points” are set up everywhere on a permanent or temporary basis. They can arrive and stay for minutes or hours at any place anytime. Anybody can be arrested for going to meetings to discuss their plight.

The situation gets worse. Blockages of the community become more often and more severe. Sometimes nothing goes in or out. Electricity is cut off more often so that raw sewage flows in the streets. Houses can’t be heated. Refrigerated food goes bad.

To instill fear schools, institutions, hospitals and even homes are threatened or burnt down or trashed. Teachers, workers and service providers stop giving services “to protest the blockades” or “dangers” they are forced to work in. Papers, books and communications are kept out or controlled. No one gets trained to be a doctor or professional which are necessities in such communities. 90% have no job. It comes to a point where some families can only send one child to school or out to work. Each family is allowed one member to have a job.

Because of the system of checkpoints and walls, workers and students have to leave home and live near schools or their place of work to avoid 4 hours a day of travel which normally takes 20 minutes.

The targets are constantly reminded they are being watched. The police or special army units walk into their homes, at 2:00 am, without knocking, ask for ID and then take them to the police station. They study the personality of the targets and look for collaborators or spies to work with them. They take unflattering pictures after the interrogation or torture so the targets look like criminals.

Nighttime is the worst time. The targets are kept awake. They could be taken away at any moment. Soldiers come inside, point guns and start beating anyone in their sight. They yell, “Give me your ID”. People are forced outside without shoes or proper clothing. Hundreds of their community members are on their knees in the streets, sometimes until 3 am. Names are called out by the police on speakers. Some are taken away and interrogated for 5 hours and asked if they saw anyone throw stones or speak badly of them. This excuse is usually bogus.

There are 7 to 8 hour waits at the checkpoints. Students or workers can only go home once every 6 to 7 months to visit their family. They have to sneak there and sometimes have to hide out all night. They can’t use the main roads and are forced to go into the woods or mountains. All of these atrocities are video taped by the oppressors with cameras everywhere. These are for study, training, propaganda and their own perverted pleasure.

The students or workers have to leave 2 hours before class or work to go 5 minutes away. Everybody is fingerprinted at the checkpoints. All their bags are checked. Their iris is scanned and their biometric identification with all manner of information and misinformation is scanned.

Curfews are set up throughout the communities and towns. Mobile military checkpoints are put on tanks and jeeps with snipers watching over them. Communities, schools or institutions are closed down at will. The strategy is to make sure students cannot study or people cannot work, meet or move around. If they object, the children, women and men can be “detained” or beaten or even shot.

The main gates have high security electronic doors. There are “blind” checkpoints where military jeeps suddenly appear and demand IDs. People are forced to wait for minutes or hours. No one can complain during this examination. The police or military can invade the community or shoot and throw tear gas at anytime if they perceive a security threat. Anyone can be jailed. Young men are in put in prisons. Beautiful young girls are forced to take off all their clothes and crawl on their hands and knees through the checkpoints. They are made to eat food that is forbidden by their culture or they are allergic to.

Palestinians say this is how they are being treated by the Israelis. Canadian police and military are being sent to Israel for training on “crowd control”. Many of these fascist tactics were used on us during the 1990 Mohawk Oka Crisis. 5,000 Canadian soldiers surrounded three of our communities [Kanehsatake, Kahnawake and Akwesasne] behind razor wire and fully armed troops. It was because we opposed the desecration of our burial and ceremonial sites. We were surrounded by walls of police, soldiers, armaments and checkpoints for 78 days. We had to wait for hours to get through them while suffering specially designed humiliation from the soldiers and police.

Canadian soldiers went into Mohawk homes purportedly looking of weapons. They smashed everything and even s–t on the floors. Many of us were arrested for no reason or for “political activities”, which is called “administrative detention”.

Canada is no goody-goody! Canada collected much secret “information” about us. They refuse to disclose it because their misconceptions and misinterpretations could be challenged. Prime Minister Stephen Harper wants to change the laws so that the youth as young as 14 years old can be sent to adult prisons! This looks like it’s aimed at our Ongwehonwe youth.

How can such cruel conditions be created by members of a well-educated nation whose ancestors were subject to unspeakable abuse? Canada is bringing back these practices that originally came from here. The South Africans learned “apartheid” from Canada. Laws and policies were passed here to mistreat and demoralize us and cut down our population. The colonial strategy included genocide, the pass system and mental and moral abuse. Hitler praised Canada and the U.S. for their thoroughness in getting rid of the “Indian problem”. He copied the reservation and residential school systems for his concentration camps. Like Canada he tried to instill hopeless, to break down our spirit and to kill us off. It will never work. We will always be here on our land.

MNN Call-Out Stop Quebec Police attacks of Barriere Lake Algonquins

Posted on by

CALL FOR HELP! SUPPORT BARRIERE LAKE ALGONQUINS AGAINST QUEBEC POLICE ATTACKS, ARRESTS, BEATINGS, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES

MNN. Oct. 12, 2008. On Monday, October 6, 2008, the Algonquins of Barriere Lake had enough and blocked Highway 117 in Northern Quebec. They want Canada and Quebec to live up to the “trilateral agreement” signed in 1991 between the 3 parties. The Algonquins have a right to sustainably develop and co-manage their traditional territories and to have a share in resource revenues. Canada and Quebec obviously believe in stealing but not sharing. Isn’t that the “slippery slope” that multinational corporations are sliding into right now? They refuse to comply with the agreement which would save the environment.

Rotten to the core, Canada and Quebec responded to the blocked road by sending in almost 100 Quebec police, some fully-equipped riot police, to attack the Algonquins to get out of negotiations. Tear gas was shot into a group of youth and elders. One canister hit a handicapped person in the chest. Nine people, including; an elderly women, a pregnant woman, and two minors, were arrested. Severe “pain compliance” techniques were used on peaceful men, women and children who had secured themselves to concrete-filled barrels. The cops twisted their arms, dislocated their jaws, left them with bruised faces and sore necks and throats from the tear gas.

To view the video of brutal police attack, go to http://www.barrierelakesolidarity.blogspot.com. The Algonquins of Barriere Lake intend to demonstrate until Canada ‘s Conservative government and Quebec honor signed agreements and Barriere Lake ‘s leadership customs.

Allies and supporters are needed as witnesses. From Montreal: Take #15 North to St. Jerome where it turns into #117; drive north past Mt. Laurier and 1 hour after Grand Remous to LaVerendrye Park; turn right on “#362 km” sign; drive 8 kms to the community of “Rapid Lake”. Needed are camping equipment, food, phone cards, cameras; volunteers, equipment and everything necessary for makeshift schools. See contacts at end.

In 1996, Indian Affairs tried to hijack the agreement by sneakily replacing the legitimate chief and council with their outside nominees [sort of creating “New’gonquin appointees] to stop the agreement.

Algonquins, who are not part of the colony of Canada, do not come under the Indian Act. Elders nominate eligible leaders who are then approved, by consensus if possible, in assemblies. Participation is open only to those who live in the community, speak the language, and have knowledge of and connection to the land. Since they rejected the colonial “implants”, the majority have been deprived of employment, education and social assistance. Electricity is being run by local generators. The parents of more than half of the children refuse to send them to Indian Affairs funded schools. The reason is because the curriculum, no Indigenous language instruction and no say in the running of the school. Volunteer community members are educating the children. They need school and food supplies. There are no phone lines. They subsist on bush food and donations. This sounds like Kanehsatake. We wouldn’t be surprised if the same players are involved in Barriere Lake. See the list of slimy bureaucrats at end of this article.

In 1997 Quebec Superior Court Judge Réjean Paul and two federal facilitators ordered that the legitimate chief and council be restored and that the trilateral agreement be upheld. Indian Affairs, Quebec and their appointees rejected this order. In 2007, Rejean Paul returned and agreed that, opponents to the traditional chief and council was “a small minority”. Even so, in January 2008 this minority group conducted another supposed leadership selection which was quickly recognized by the filthy, dirty Indian Affairs department, Andre Cote himself.

In 1998 Quebec signed a complementary Bi-lateral agreement. In 2006 two former Quebec Cabinet Ministers, John Ciaccia and Barriere Lake special representative, Clifford Lincoln, made recommendations to implement the agreement in 2006.

Said Norman Matchewan, “Forestry operations will not be allowed on our Trilateral agreement territory, and we will be doing more non-violent direct action.”

The Algonquin Nation Secretariat, the Tribal Council representing three Algonquin communities including Barriere Lake, continues to recognize and work with Customary Chief Benjamin Nottaway and his Council.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT/CHILD MOLESTATION STRATEGY OF CHOICE TO ATTACK ONKWEHONWE MEN

Posted on by
SEXUAL HARASSMENT/CHILD MOLESTATION STRATEGY OF CHOICE TO ATTACK ONKWEHONWE MENMNN. Jan. 25, 2007. There is a tried and true strategy being used by Indian Affairs, corporate governments and their agents to get rid of our men who question their corruption and whom they want to “get under their control”. It?s called the ?Let?s-get-him-charged-with-sexual-harassment-or-child-abuse? strategy.

Back in 1990 a band council out west received multi millions of dollars on behalf of their people. It was a settlement for a claim. Indian affairs parachuted in a blond long legged woman to become the auditor. Her salary was $1.4 million a year. She didn?t audit the money. She audited the men. Before long, fights were going on among them. One man eventually committed suicide. This auditor approached one dissenter that the Indian Affairs was particularly anxious to shut up. She tried to get him into a compromising situation so she could charge him with sexual harassment. When he confronted her about what she was trying to do, she said, ?Nobody will believe you?. He knew that too. He reported her attempts to the RCMP.

In the 1980?s there was a young warrior who was speaking out about the corruption of Indian Affairs against his people and how Onkwehonwe can assert our rights. Suddenly a woman and her daughter made charges of sexual harassment against him. He eventually won his case at the Supreme Court of Canada level. It was too late. His reputation had been destroyed. He moved away and started again somewhere else.

In the early 1990?s a warrior, who could not be faulted, was asking the corporate government too many questions they did not want to answer. He adopted children. Next thing the local social services in the community falsely charged him with child molestation. Again it was almost impossible for him to defend himself. The child accusers were protected and nothing could be revealed about them and their family background. Social Services had created the situation. Eventually the RCMP told him if he didn?t move out of the country, he would spend many years in jail.

Then recently a former ironworker turned lawyer got a job in the band council to clean up the office and get the employees working. He was charged with sexual harassment by four women. They were protected by a publication ban and could say anything they wanted. With hard work and a deft lawyer, he was able to prove that these charges were false. But his reputation and his professional practice had already been almost destroyed.

There have been many other similar instances. A common threat runs through these cases? They all threatened the powers that be. The charges were almost impossible to defend. The accusers could remain anonymous. The aim was to defame the victim for the rest of his life and to destroy their credibility with their people.

Another covert Indian Affairs operation that victimizes Onkwehonwe men is the ?Let?s-get-them-crying-at-the-healing-circles? tactic?. The courts play along by ordering our men to attend them. There they have to confess everything while being assured that whatever they say is privileged. This is not so. Sometimes when a Onkwehonwe comes forward and spills the beans on something he did 40 years ago, the next thing he knows he is charged, arrested and thrown into jail. Or he could be blackmailed into silence about the goings on that Indian Affairs wants to keep quiet or even made to do something illegal.

These circles get the information and the goods on people that can destroy them. It would seem that Indian Affairs set up these circles to get control over our people. They even train and certify those who run them. It started in 1990 after the Oka Crisis as the ?Kumik Lodge? program in the lobby of Indian Affairs? ?Tower of Terror? in Hull. They selected ?healers?, brought them in for three weeks for ?training? and then sent them out to the Onkwehonwe communities to do their ?stuff?.

Some ended up in far worse condition than when they started. The circle has no confidentiality agreement such as one would have with a lawyer or psychologist, which is on a one-to-one basis. The healers are not in positions of trust. What a setup! The Canadian government has put $350 million into the ?historical-molestation-in-residential-schools? strategy. We?ve been told by more than one person that some are offered $20,000 to say they were molested even if they weren?t. Then they have to go for ?healing?. Suddenly social services arrives on the scene and grabs their children to get them ?out of danger?.

Does this story sound familiar. This is a new version of the old genocidal scheme to get our guys and break up our families in order to weaken our society. They want to keep us so busy that we can?t ask the obvious question of why they are here and why they won?t go home to the land of their own ancestors.
