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

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.
