CANADIAN AUDIT OF KANEHSATAKE OPERATIONS IN 2004 “WHITE WASHES” INDIAN AFFAIRS CORRUPTION

MNN. May 2, 2008. Ottawa has just issued a 108-page report on a forensic audit on the Kanehsatake policing incident that began with a vicious attack on the Mohawks on the morning of January 12, 2004. There was nothing impromptu about this event. Indian Affairs, Emergency Preparedness, the Privy Council Office, the Treasury Board and the Prime Minister’s Office planned this set up that cost $34 million of Canadian taxpayer’s money. Kanehsatake’s membership is about 2,000 with only 1,300 living there. What was going on? They said there was “organized crime”, but they did not have enough evidence to lay any criminal charges. Even so, they sent 67 heavily armed mercenaries to invade this otherwise ordinary community.

Minister of Indian Affairs Chuck Strahl says he is mulling over whether further investigative steps should be taken. He says there is a “need for greater accountability, transparency and oversight for Aboriginal People and all Canadians”. You said it, buddy! But why do “Aboriginal” people need to be investigated? This was government corruption, plain and simple. With no justification at all, funds were diverted to conduct an armed attack on Mohawks with the help of the RCMP and the Quebec police! Don’t blame this gratuitous violence and graft on us! We’re the victims. We have nothing to account for. We had no control over any of the misplaced funds.

Kanehsatake is 60 kilometres northwest of Montreal. The Quebec police got $25 million in extra expenses. There are questions about unjustified overtime payments, strange “adjustments”, multiple payments for the same expenses and many other dubious claims. A whole whack of “Cabinet confidence documents” could not be included in the report. This cannot be called “transparency and accountability” by any stretch of the imagination!

Navigant Consulting, who compiled the report, was hired by Canada, the culprit. It was signed by Steve Whitla, 150 Metcalfe, Ottawa Ontario K2P 1P1 613-230-4546. We see this as a blatant attempt to “white wash” an attempted coup. The report does not mention the way these Canadian government agencies illegally ignored the community’s properly constituted Police Commission.

The report did acknowledge that 5 tasers and 6 vehicles went missing. It failed to address the illegal arsenal that was deployed. The government goons came in with vans, police cars, concussion grenades, “flash bangs”, tear gas, MP5s which are fully automatic with a silencer, AR15s, body bags, 308 Sniper Rifles, M14s, 20 calibre handguns, Beretta Pistols, 12-gauge shot guns, 37 mm. armor piercing anti-tank weapons, tasers, tear gas, pepper spray, ASP Batons, full riot gear such as shields, helmets, bullet-proof vests and over 77,000 rounds of ammunition. They had enough firepower to start a small arms war! This equipment is not appropriate for policing in a free and democratic society. Navigant didn’t ask where all the war toys went. They seem anxious to lay blame on the victims who were unarmed. [We could have thrown snowballs at them but would probably have been charged with attempted murder!]

There were inaccuracies on the timing of payments. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers “Detailed Trial Balance”, a $900,000 payment for the mercenaries and their arsenal and vehicles was made in July 2003. Navigant’s audit claimed it was made in November 2003 after James Gabriel wrote a letter on October 31, 2003 to Eric Maldoff, of Heenan Blaikie, the chief federal land claims negotiator. [It was both “trick and treat, eh! Eric!] What’s the deal here?

This scenario smells! The report did nothing to clarify how the government agents got James Gabriel to carry out the dirty work, stating, “Public Safety believes that they were dealing with a council that is quite amenable to our objectives”. In other words, they knew he was their stooge and they could use him to ride rough shod over the properly constituted Police Commission and any semblance of democratic due process.

The book, “Who’s Sorry Now? The Good, the bad and the unapologetic Mohawks of Kanehsatake” outlines this attack in great detail. [LINK]

Niocan Inc. has wanted to open up a mine for the niobium that lies under Kanehsatake for a long time. This is a rare mineral needed by the military for weaponry and space exploration. The Mohawks have resisted this dangerously toxic venture since the 1970s.

Eric Maldoff, the Heenan Blaikie ambulance chaser, controlled “Grand Chief” James Gabriel. Former Prime Minister, Jean Chretien, now of Heenan Blaikie, sent Eric Maldoff there to “keep Kanehsatake off the front pages”. Subsequent Prime Minister, Paul Martin, pushed the button to send in the goons to attack the Mohawks on that early morning of January 12, 2004. The report never gave any reason for this armed invasion. How is that?

Eric Maldoff has experience in Heenan Blaikie, the Privy Council Office and chief federal negotiator for Canada on the Kanehsatake “file”. Because of these connections, he was able to orchestrate this fiasco. Who benefited? Well, Eric and his bosses. This expensive and vicious attack didn’t do anything for the Mohawks or the Canadian people? It’s hard to tell the difference between this and being mugged on the street, isn’t it? At least the drug addict who mugs you does it to your face without pretending they’re doing you a favor!

A lot of planning went into this. The “Mohawk Coalition” was a corporation set up temporarily after the Mohawk Crisis of 1990 to get programs and an election going in the community. After it fell dormant, it was stolen by Clarence Simon, James Gabriel and Leona Bonspiel. The audit denies that millions in government funds were put through this stolen corporation but does admit that vehicles were registered to it. The Mohawk Coalition was also used to divert Mohawk community funds which were then placed in the third party management of PricewaterhouseCoopers [PWC].

Without the knowledge or consent of the community, PWC became the “payment center” for everything, based on James Gabriel’s approval. PWC obstructed justice by not opening up their books for the auditors to examine. They claim they are owed money. They will only answer questions if they’re paid.

According to the Supreme Court of Canada, the Canadian government has a fiduciary responsibility towards the Indigenous peoples. We can only wonder why the auditor didn’t get a court to subpoena PWC’s records. Is the problem that they weren’t paid, or are they worried about something? Maybe PWC owes the Mohawks some money! They will have to answer questions for free if a full and proper public inquiry is conducted. Are there enough honest people left in the Canadian government to see this happen?

When James Gabriel started hiring the goons in 2003, a public relations firm, Communications Strategies of Montreal, was hired to control the spin in the media, who never hesitate to demonize the Mohawks. In 1996 the Privy Council Office hired Richard Walsh, a known felon, to dig up dirt and set us up. According to Ontario Provincial Police documents, Walsh was wanted all over Ontario for credit card fraud. His criminal record seems to have gotten him the job.

Treasury Board Acts were violated to divert $58 million into the stolen corporation. Community programs were cut. The funds for the coup came through the Solicitor Generals office, Public Safety, Indian Affairs and Eric Maldoff of Heenan Blaikie for the Privy Council Office. Maldoff was paid millions for his plotting. Meanwhile in Kanehsatake health and education benefits were cut. Since all the conniving was being done in secret, this was another sign that something big was going wrong for us.

Good policing is neutral. Everybody is equal before the law. This is why Kanehsatake had an independent Police Commission.

The Canadian government agencies set James Gabriel up like a third world dictator. They secretly got him to sign a Tripartite Policing Agreement on behalf of the MCK. He had no authority to usurp the legal mandate of the community’s Police Commission. He did not even have a quorum or consensus of the council.

James Gabriel’s police continued to receive millions for their illicit operations. There was no policing in Kanehsatake and still isn’t. They acted as his personal body guards, at a cost of over $6 million in two years. He walked around the Laval Hilton like a rock star with this entourage carrying weapons openly.

Eric Maldoff of Heenan Blaikie and his associates, Chantal Bernier of Emergency Preparedness and Walter Walling of Indian Affairs, among others, should be charged with meddling in the 2005 election. The election of 2005, that supposedly put things right, was rigged by adding hundreds of non-residents and non-natives to the voting list so they out-numbered the voters living in the community. $500,000 was spent to bring in the council that Indian Affairs wanted and needed to support their schemes.

Eric Maldoff was chief federal land claims negotiator. At the same time his law firm, Heenan Blaikie, handled 28 frivolous cases for James Gabriel, building files on his “enemies”. It was not revealed how much money was spent on the judges and lawyers who helped James Gabriel victimize the Mohawks. His side was funded and not the other side.

Guy Dufort of Heenan Blaikie has now replaced Eric Maldoff as chief federal negotiator. Talk about conflict of interest! Guy Dufort is also the lawyer for the Sulpicians who are the adversaries of the Mohawks in this claim to our land. It was recently announced that he is running for the federal election in Westmount this summer as a Conservative Party candidate. Is this another reason for this audit whitewash? Is the government trying to maintain “cabinet secrecy” should he get elected?

There never was any evidence of “organized crime” in Kanehsatake, as confirmed by SQ Director General, Norman Proulx. “The raid was illegal” and staged by Ottawa. The SQ and RCMP said there was no evidence to justify this operation. The plans were made in secret between MCK and the federal cabinet.

There were no complaints or allegations of misconduct against Tracy Cross, the duly appointed police chief. The principles of fundamental justice set out by the Supreme Court of Canada, state that an accused has a right to know the case against him and to give full answer and reply. Gabriel and his handlers ignored all this. They just sent in their mercenaries without warning to kick out Cross and the legitimate police force. There were no formal charges, no due process, nothing! Just raw third world thuggery!

We need to know which bureaucrats and which politicians were involved. Who were their partners in crime? Who made the plans? Who made the decisions? Who gave the order to attack the Mohawks? What happened to democratic due process?

Laws were being broken and lives could have been lost. We are not exaggerating. Not mentioned by the auditors was the “take out on sight” list carried in by the attacking force. Who compiled it? On what authority? This needs a legal audit. Why were the Kanehsatake people subjected to false charges and the expense of their legal defense? [Link].

MCK and Canadian government interference in policing is a breach of the Tripartite Agreement. A politician can’t tell a cop what to do. Cops are supposed to be lawful. James Gabriel swore in and deputized officers. He did not have authority to do this as Grand Chief. Many of the 67 mercenaries he swore in were not qualified as police officers, or even to handle firearms. Why were these guys given $4,000 “Accuracy International Sniper Rifles” designed to kill with precise accuracy? What has this got to do with democratic due process?

The Navigant report stated that decisions on policing were made among Indian Affairs, Eric Maldoff as chief federal negotiator and the Privy Council Office and possibly the Prime Minister’s Office. Strangely, Maldoff was “authorized to negotiate a policing agreement”. He is reported to have taken the view that “strong policing was critical for good governance and the negotiation process” [to go the right way]. Maldoff and Indian Affairs “were strong supporters of” James Gabriel. “They believed that he was a good negotiation partner”.

This presents a serious test for the integrity of Canada’s legal institutions. Here we have serious evidence of violations leading straight to the Prime Minister’s Office. We have evidence that armed force was used to override the community’s legitimate institutions. There needs to be a legal investigation conducted by a neutral third party that has no vested interest in the outcome. The corruption seems to go to the core of Canada’s ostensibly democratic institutions.

The roots to this corruption run very deep. The role of genealogist Joan Holmes needs to be investigated. Eric Maldoff brought her in to compile a fake history of the Mohawks of Kanehsatake in support of Canada’s claim to our land. Her research needs to be scrutinized by qualified historians. Her involvement in the 2005 election also needs to be investigated. We saw a surge in membership that made the vote go in a direction that appears to have been designated. No one ever saw the new “Indians”. They faxed in their votes. The voters’ list was kept secret. The Mohawks still don’t know who these hundreds of people were or how they managed to capture the election for whoever set them up. To maintain the integrity of the process, the list of voters’ names and addresses must be made public!

The Access to Information documents reveal that this scam surrounding Kanehsatake involved a lot of people [see list below]. Their actions need to be investigated and criminal charges need to be laid where appropriate. A public inquiry with subpoena powers is needed. The law breaking we have been experiencing has to stop.

The motivation for keeping James Gabriel in power at such exorbitant costs seems to have been to cover up a morass of federal government corruption. These are connected to three major issues: the push to open the dangerously polluting niobium mine; the attempt to grab 250 sq. mi. of Mohawk land that is subject to a land claims settlement; and the $58 million that was surreptitiously diverted through the dormant Mohawk Coalition corporation. We have seen government documents that prove the existence of these violations. The public has a right to know.

A public inquiry with a wide scope and terms of reference is demanded to go after all of them especially “cabinet secrecy”. Those found guilty of crimes against the people must be punished, even if they are former prime ministers. Nobody should be above the law.

TRIES TO CONVINCE MOHAWKS TO LET THEM MINE RADIOACTIVE “NIOBIUM” LYING UNDER KANEHSATAKE’S TRADITIONAL LANDS

MNN. April 11, 2008. An election year! It sure looks like the band council of Kanehsatake is working with Niocan Inc. Niocan is proceeding with “Plan B”, which is to go after the Mohawks. The Ongwehonwe got a notice one day before the meeting that took place on Wednesday, April 9th at the Mohawk Immersion School in the Pines. For some reason Niocan is desperate to get our consent to start mining this rare mineral which is wanted by the military, industrial and communications complex.

Ray Gabriel, Clarence Simon and Steve Bonspille of the band council attended the meeting. Steve spoke against it, saying, “My position was and remains against the mine”. The other two did not say a word. Steven said to Niocan, “Good luck trying to get a ‘yes’ out of the Mohawks”, which they did not get.

Niocan has finally realized that they can’t do anything without the support of the Mohawks. Otherwise the Quebec government can’t give them a license to mine.

G. Bernard Coulombe, the president, CEO and Director of the Board of Niocan, did the power point presentation about water and tailings management, economic impact and their conclusions. [Coulombe was former director of Placer Dome from 1994 to 2006 which was responsible for a huge mine disaster in the Philipines and can’t operate there anymore! http://www.niocan.com 514-288-8506, 2000 Peel St., #760, Montreal, Mrs. Martin Desjardins, Oka Region].

At the last BAPE meeting, Niocan had to go back to the drawing board and address the environmental issues raised by the native and non native “Citizens Group”. Louis Sylvester, the lawyer, was hired by Steve, Pearl Bonspille, John Harding and the late Crawford Gabriel who were on the council at the time. Sylvester did a great job objecting to Niocam’s project. [November 2001].

They called this something like the “New and Improved Oka Project”, or, as the Mohawks sarcastically called it, the “New and Not So Improved Niocan”. Niocan gloated over how wonderful it’s going to be even though it’s going to kill us, give us cancer and contaminate our land.

On one street 22 people have recently had or died of cancer. Niocan refuses to address the health issue. They ordered us to, “Prove it!” Hey, Niocan, we buried them. They are our families who lived on that road.

No third-party independent assessments were shown to us. Out-dated 1995 maps and a few aerial views were pulled out. It was all technical stuff like processing plants, drums, underground pipes and wires in various colors, finished products and surface water tables. They thought this would be over our heads and we would bow down in awe before them. “It’s going to be soooo good for Oka”, they purred [but not for Indians or the farmers].

If we don’t go along with them, they’ll just pull out the new municipalization harmonization agreement that James Gabriel signed with Oka and Quebec government. This benefits the town of Oka and the Sulpicians who pretend to be blind to their obligations as trustees to our land.

Why would they go ahead with this when they did not have our consent? Trying to make us feel sorry for them, they told us that up to the present $8.5 million has already been spent on different studies. $130 million in project investment is forecasted. “Economic impact”, “job creation”, “160 direct”, “340 indirect”, “spin offs” and “$1 million in training programs”, during the 17-year life of the mine. “The Oka area will get $595 million, Quebec will get $781 million and the Indians will get nothing but a toxic waste dump!”

KPMG are both the auditors and authors of the “socio-economic study of the Niocan mine project” the mine. [2000 McGill College Avenue, #1900, Montreal H3A 3H8]

The Ongwehonwe emphatically told Niocan, “No! No! No!” Testing the waters, Niocan then asked, “What do you want?” The Ongwehonwe just laughed at them, “We don’t want it. Go away!”

Everybody had the same position, “It’s not negotiable”. Pearl Bonspille said, “I will do everything in my power to stop this. The chiefs and their Band Council Resolution don’t mean anything. They are under a forensic audit and can’t sign anything”.

When asked about the radiation in the water, Coulombe belittled the Ongwehonwe every chance he had, “Are you a scientist? What do you know?” This could mean that this mine is sewn up with the band council. What they sign and say are two different things! The people do not trust them.

Coulombe chided them, “Don’t you want a better life?” An Ongwehonwe woman said, “Yes, we want our life and our health”. Trying to create a racial divide, Coulombe suggested to the media that the, “Mohawks are having a problem with the whites”. The woman shot back, “No, it’s not white or black. It’s a question of health!” The Ongwehonwe and the non-natives stuck together.

One of the farmers wants to convert his apple orchard into organic gardening. Niocan would destroy it. Basically the non-native farmers were told, “Forget about growing apples. Eat niobium! It’ll make you glow!”

Coloumbe told the reporters, “We are still going to try to get the support of the Mohawks” [by hook or by crook]. They have known from the beginning that it is traditional Mohawk Territory and about our concern for our health and environment. This is likely where we will see the creation of enough “Indians” by ‘genie’ologist, Mother Joan Holmes, to push this project through. Niocan, the band council, Indian Affairs and Quebec government all want the “fix to be in”. Joan Ho is the one who can tone up the socio-economic and cultural aspects and memberships to suit the goals of her “masters”, which aren’t the Mohawks. Joan Ho, how are you planning to rig the election this summer?

The sell-outs want a “cash out”. Clarence “Mr.-Potato-Head” Simon could move to his estate in P.E.I. Raymond “Molasses” Gabriel could go with his Parisian wife to France. Councilors Doreen Canatoquin, John Canatoquin, Marie Chene and Michelle Lamouche did not even bother to show up for the meeting. They obviously don’t need to be sold on the mining project.

We are concerned that this meeting will be seen as fulfillment of their obligation to a fake “public consultation”. Not according to the Supreme Court of Canada in Taku River. They said consultation has to be meaningful.

Niocan kept trying to glamorize this project. You’d think he was promoting a casino where at least we can have some entertainment and fun. Former sell-out “ Vichy ” chief, James Gabriel, told Niocan he just wanted “a partnership or compensation”. He never took it to the community. We were not even included in a referendum that Oka had on April 16, 2000. Niocan basically stated then, “We are not going to recognize the results if it goes against us”.

After Wednesday’s meeting the NIO stock on the Montreal-Toronto Stock Exchange dropped 4 cents. Could it be profit taking by some scared shareholders? It’s a public company. Who is pushing this project? Here are some of the major shareholders as of Jan. 1, 2008: Electrumferro Metals LLC about 26% and Norshield Investment about 11%. Is it possible the Sulpicians, who have been after our hides forever, have shares in this? Mr. Coulombe has about 931,500 shares as of March 13, 2008. No wonder he’s so desperate!

Electrumferro Metals does not exist on the internet. In 2005 John Xanthoudakis of Norshield of Montreal was found guilty by the Ontario Securities Commission of losing $400 million of his investors’ money. He allegedly created dormant shell companies with no assets in the Caribbean. [www.norshieldinvestment.com]. Could this be one of the reasons why the Quebec government investment arm pulled out of Niocan?

There are four “pros” of concern that are being played out against us here: “pro-mine” development; “pro-settling of a fake claim to our land; “pro-Sulpicians” who want us removed; and “pro-dropping of the $90 million lawsuit” facing Canada.

CANADA’S “INDIAN AFFAIRS” FINANCED WAR MACHINE TO ATTACK KANEHSATAKE

Posted on by

CANADA’S “INDIAN AFFAIRS” FINANCED WAR MACHINE TO ATTACK KANEHSATAKE MOHAWKS ON JAN. 12 2004

MNN. Jan. 27th 2008. Government documents received through an “Access to Information” request prove that the attack on peaceful Kanehsatake Mohawks by a heavily armed 67-man paramilitary force was planned, financed and implemented by Indian Affairs, Solicitor General’s Office and the Prime Minister’s Office of Ottawa.

The documents reveal that the initial lay out of over $900,000 was illegally provided by Indian Affairs to Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness for this coup. [PSEPC Code 0880; Ref. Code 5000020336]. The documents show that a total of $40 million was spent on this attack. [$20 million from Canada and $20 million from Quebec.] Secret bi-lateral agreements between Canada and Quebec laid out funding arrangements. Canada was to provide 52% and Quebec 48% of the policing funds.

Indian Affairs has no authority in policing. It was strictly illegal – a blatant violation of Canadian law and a misappropriation of Indigenous resources and Canadian taxpayers’ dollars at a time when many Indigenous communities are suffering from third world conditions, without even clean water to drink. Despite the huge number of blanks where crucial information was “whited-out” from the documents, it was still possible to piece together the ghoulish story that’s going to haunt the corporate government players to their graves.

To set it up, the culprits, Indian affairs, appointed a third party manager, PriceWaterhouseCoopers PWC [who were allegedly paid over $1.5 million a year in fees over several years], to divert Kanehsatake community funds towards this phony ‘coup d’etat’ [MCK & Minister No. 186-2004-00069].

In a March 24, 2005 memo for the Deputy Minister of PSEPC, Chantal

“Public-Wrong” Bernier, the Assistant Deputy Minister, pointed out that diversion of funds was “illegal” but went ahead and signed the authority anyway, “because the Privy Council Office and Treasury Board recognized their authority in the fall of 2003”. The first check was recorded by PWC as having been cut in July 2003. [Denise Charron PSEPC Aboriginal Policing Directorate].

As there was no way for Indian Affairs to fund such a “military” attack of Indigenous people, Indian Affairs made the first payment to get it started. They diverted money out of core funding for Kanehsatake into cars, weaponry, bullets, hotels, meals and everything needed for their hired “mercenaries” to play their lethal game. Their mission was to take down the Police Commission, the police force, the cigarette trade, take over the police station and council house and to bring the Mohawks into submission. They were instructed to protect James Gabriel’s four chiefs. They had a “hit list” of Mohawks who were to be taken down “on sight”.

Whatever happened to Canada ’s boasting about the “rule of law”? Canada abrogated the “death penalty” years ago. These executions appear to have been ordered and approved at the highest levels of the Canadian government.

This operation was given a blank check by Indian Affairs, Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness, Treasury Board and the Privy Council Office under the guidance of the Prime Minister’s Office. Kanehsatake was kept as a separate file, directly under the Prime Ministers, first, Jean Chretien [now of Heenan Blaikie] and then Paul Martin.

The man in charge was Eric “Alter Boy” Maldoff, of Heenan Blaikie, Chief Federal Negotiator for Canada “with” Kanehsatake, according to his own website. In a Question Period Note, by Jean Chartrand & David Hallman, of Aboriginal Policing Directorate, dated May 30th 2005, they referred to a television report aired on Radio Canada on May 27 2005, “Chief Mediator, Eric Maldoff, appointed in 1995 by then Prime Minister, Jean Chretien, received $429,248 last year alone”. They went on to state that, “Mr. Maldoff would have received more than $2 million for his services. Ten years later, Kanehsatake is still on the “front pages” of the written press”. A reliable source stated that in 2003 and 2004 Maldoff was making $1.5 million a year from Kanehsatake funds.

On the 13th January 2005 there was a conference call of the “Federal Working Group on Kanehsatake”. Present for Indian Affairs were Eric Maldoff, Walter “Wailing Wall” Walling, Christian “Lucifer” Rouleau, Andre “Turn” Cote, Stuart “Swan Song” Swanson and Paul “Shoots-First-Asks-Questions-Later” Leblanc; for PSEPC it was Jean “Trashes-Human-Rights” Chartrand; and for the Privy Council Office it was Yvan “Tag-Along-and-Say-Yes” Dery.

This was followed by Assembly of First Nations [a colonial government invention], Ghyslain “Flaunts-His-Low-Self-Esteem” Picard, who requested that he, Steven “Mutant” Bonspille and James “How-High-Do-You-Want-Me-to-Jump” Gabriel [the corrupt grand chief of Kanehsatake], have a meeting. Stephen Bonspille had been a “dissident” with Pearl Bonspille and John Harding trying to stop the band council-colonial government corruption. Did somebody make him an offer he could not refuse? He’s the only one who turned his coat.

Ghislain wanted to broker the forthcoming election that took place in June 2005. Why were police dollars being used to run an election? Everyone knew that the government’s “point man”, James Gabriel, could not win. He was a dud for his stupidity, his depravity and his partnership with a convicted criminal wanted all over Ontario. He was a soft hot potato! Even so, James’ legal fees of over $1 million and Communications Strategy of $250,000 was paid by the government [Chartrand, Hallman, Question Period Note APD May 30, 2005]. Quebec wanted Stephen Bonspille in. The election got rigged so that Stephen Bonspille and the six James Gabriel “groupies” would win. Everyone knew it was “fixed”.

Before the election, Stephen Bonspille, John Harding and Pearl Bonspille filed a $90 million suit [T-436-04]. Stevie “No Wonder” Reynolds just happen to walk in to do it all “pro bono”. It looks like Stevie’s handlers do not want this to go to trial. [Annik “How-Much-More-Pain-Can-We-Put-On-the-Mohawks” Pelletier of Justice Canada, to Martin “If-This-Keeps-Up-We’ll-Have-to-Resort-to-Water-Boarding” Reiher, April 7/05].

On January 11th 2008, Pearl took a trip to Ottawa to make sure the disclosures go in and no side deals are cut.

Chantal “Spits-at-the-Law” Bernier of PSEPC reported to Sheila “I-Forgot-to-Wear-My-Glasses-When-I-Looked-at-that” Fraser, the Auditor General of Canada, that vehicles were illegally purchased with band funds. Sheila “Suddenly-Remembered” that it was not in her mandate and referred Bernier to “National Allegations and Complaints Coordinator of Indian Affairs”- the very foxes who were stealing the eggs from the chicken house! [Jan. 11, 2006, Bernier to Fraser].

How does a criminal organization operate? There is a “handler” way up there somewhere, controlling all the “assets” or underlings, who go out and do the dirty work. In this case, it looks like Eric Maldoff of Heenan Blaikie, which is also the legal counsel for the Sulpicians who are in a big land dispute with the Mohawks of Kanehsatake. [Hey, guys! Haven’t you ever heard of conflict of interest?]

Maldoff coordinates all this wickedness from the Prime Minister’s Office. The assets are trained and controlled by their “handlers”. It’s the old colonial hierarchy corruption of moral principles system. He has “spotters” in Indian Affairs, PSEPC, Treasury Board and other departments who get orders from him and report back to him.

The Assembly of First Nations and band councils are another set of assets”. In Kanehsatake his assets would be James Gabriel, Stephen Bonspille and others.

When Steven got into office as the new Grand Chief, he did not appear to be doing any work. He never had any portfolios. He just sat there and collected a pay check. That was the deal. In the meantime, the real asset is James Gabriel who stays behind the curtain and gets his strings pulled by Eric Maldoff. All these assets are real liabilities for the real people, the Ongwehonwe.

These documents reveal that there was a master plan to take us out. They will do anything, especially if it’s confusing. It doesn’t bother them one little bit if it’s criminal. Why should it? They’ve got the fix in with the PMO and the Justice Department. So anyone who thinks they can get a straight deal from Canadian courts is dreaming. As far as we can see, this plan is still in effect, by hook or by a lot of crooks. The Kanehsatake land claim is a farce, especially when Heenan Blaikie sits on all sides.

There is presently a forensic audit being conducted on all of the perpetrators – PWC, co-managers Hartal of Ottawa, the Kanehsatake band council, Eric Maldoff [of Heenan Blaikie], Indian Affairs [Andre Cote, Walter Walling and Pierre “Jellyfish” Nepton of Indian Affairs in Quebec], Solicitor General’s Office [David Hallman, now at Economic Development, Indian Affairs], the Prime Minister’s Office, Ryan W. Mansour, Policy Advisor, Quebec Caucus, to name a few.

The forensic audit addresses a crying need. The whole infrastructure dealing with Ongwehonwe is so horrendously corrupt that a band aid is not going to fix it. What do you think? With so much corruption, is there a chance for us?

WHO “CRASHED” MNN WEBSITE?

Posted on by
WHO “CRASHED” MNN WEBSITE? 

WAS IT HURT FEEEELINGS OVER “NICKNAMES”

MNN. Jan. 30, 2008. The gross corruption revealed in “Access to Information” documents from Public Security and Emergency Preparedness Canada and Indian Affairs has not made the front pages of the corporate media. [Dossier No. 1336-A-2006-0034]. Instead they’ve temporarily sabotaged MNN. It appears to now be owned by 1599754 Ontario Limited!! How could this happen? How could we lose ownership of our website without our knowledge or consent.  We can’t think of anyone who would have a motivation for doing this. [“Canada ’s “Indian Affairs” financed war machine to attack Mohawks on Jan. 12, 2004” – Jan. 27, 2008].

We know that the Canadian government is riddled with corruption. They aren’t as careful to cover their tracks because they don’t see us as people. They think we are powerless, have no voice and are blind. They have secret meeting about us. We have no rights. They can plan to deprive us or even kill us.

The people written about are objecting to the nicknames we gave them, such as “ambulance chaser” and “turn coat”. They are not denying the factual substance of the information found in the documents we reviewed. None have expressed any concern for those who are suffering from poverty, poor health, inferior education and unemployment because they are withholding or diverting our funds.

None have called for an investigation. No criminal charges have been laid. This proves that Canada does not live by the rule of law. To them, as long as something is authorized by someone higher up, it’s legal even if it’s in blatant violation of their legal mandate set out for them by the laws passed by Parliament.

Back in 1978 when I was working for Indian Affairs in Ottawa, the Assistant Deputy Minister, Cam Mackie, had a Christmas party in his swank spacious office on the 21st floor. No Indians were invited. A fellow non-native employee invited me to go up there. Cam Mackie was walking around wearing a t-shirt with the message, “Let’s have an Indian Affair”. Honest to goodness! It was supposed to be a joke. Just reading it felt like a knife right in my gut. I was terrified for the future of my three little girls. How could I protect them as a single mother and a native woman?

“You are disgusting”, I said and went home to protect my little ones. My fear was real. Indigenous women are still being victimized. 500 are missing and not investigated. Everyone knew that it was open season on young native girls like Betty Osborne who had been raped and killed by four non-native young men. Everyone in the community knew. Nobody did a thing. It went unpunished for almost 20 years.

Here was sanction of the abuse of Indigenous people from the highest level.

Closer to hand, it was open season on young native boys. Kevin White, a Cree, was dying of AIDS contracted through association with Indian Affairs and high government homosexuals. [“Where Eagles Dare to Soar – Indians, Politics and AIDS”]. Not to mention the “Starlight Tours” in Saskatchewan where police left our young boys about 30 miles out of the city to perish in the freezing cold.

This abuse of our young people cannot happen without the express complicity of the colonial hierarchy. When water goes down the toilet, it’s a sick maelstrom that sucks in a lot of people. Those who betrayed the Mohawks of Kanehsateke may have started out with good intentions. They get into the momentum, forget to take a stand when necessary and try to drag us down with them.

They fell under the Svengali spell and started selling land like La Trappe without the people’s consent, negotiated away the beach or supported political manipulations with lawyers, third party managers, compliant band councils, and allowed the same law firm to represent the colonial government, the church and the Indigenous people. What a party they must be having with three major funding sources. These people are shocked to see themselves exposed.

Perhaps they were so entranced by their access to foreign colonial power and the promises that they thought they were doing the people a favor by making decisions without our consent and taking part in these manipulations behind our backs. Or just sitting there and doing nothing.

No one can complain they weren’t interviewed when it’s all there in black and white. Were we interviewed before they signed away our rights? What makes them think they can trash the democratic principles of rule by the people and think they are above everyone else? Once elected, forget about us!

The conference calls, discussions and reports in the documents were pure sleaze. Those involved knew they were hurting us. We invite them to publish the full text on the internet without their spin doctors slanting it and lawyers burying the news.

They’ve become props for outright dictators. They planned, schemed and sat there idly while our communities go without basic necessities like clean water, decent food and housing. They’ve diverted our funds to hire armed forces, manipulate the media and oppress and attack us.

It appears to be okay to call us “squaws”, “wagon burners” or “welfare bums”. It’s not okay to call an “elected official” who betrays his people a “turncoat” or a lawyer who to tries to profit from our misfortune an “ambulance chaser”.

They say if we had all the facts we would find that the nicknames are wrong. As far as MNN is concerned, they could be worse! Hey wait a minute! How could we get to “know all the facts” when the meetings are all secret or behind closed doors? If government was open and transparent the way it’s supposed to be in a society that supposed to treat everyone equally, we might find out more about this shocking abuse of governmental process and misspending of our money.

Why hasn’t anyone been criminally charged for misappropriation of funds and for exceeding their authority or fraud?

Why were people in Kanehsatake jailed for objecting to the attack made on us by a paramilitary force paid with money diverted from our health care, education and social programs?

Some of our communities are within spitting distance of the glitz and glamour lived by high public officials in Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. People grow fat on publicly funded buffets while there isn’t enough money to get decent education, healthcare and even proper nutrition for our people.

Why can’t they admit the horrendous reality of what they’ve done? What can we do to stop them?

Why do these people feel that they can lie to and manipulate us? They’re worried about silly nicknames? I am sorry, this is no kid’s party. We are real people that the bureaucracy is trying to trample into the ground by using our own resources they’ve stolen. How low on the UN scale do we have to live before Canadian politicians and Indian Affairs stop yawning?

They cannot admit to themselves how disgusting and vile their actions are. They stand behind guns that are pointed at us, manipulate the media and sabotage our right to freedom of speech, while they down more martinis and tranquilizers.

There’s nothing charming about poverty. There’s nothing charming about the misuse of our funds. There is nothing charming about Cam Mackie walking around with a T-shirt announcing that it is open season on our young people.

We’d be interested in hearing from our so-called “elected leaders” without the crutch of their spin doctors and public relations firms. They should be tried in open court, just like we are when we try to exercise our traditional sovereign rights that we have never given up. Steven Bonspille, Ghislain Picard and Phil Fontaine, get out of the way! Your genocidal services are not required.
