PLANET PEACE

Posted on by

OCT. 12, 2024. MNN. 

On turtle island some are waking up. Because the indigenous people who survived the continuing genocide are making it happen. All people are now awakened and have to fix it. Some want to continue their murderous pointless criminal style dream, especially the “reconciliationists”. Their main purpose was to move to stolen land to make money. But now they sense they are on a sinking ship. They don’t know how much time they have left. So they are hurrying the completion of their project. In reality their dream is actually our nightmare and we are making known to them how they continue to interference in our duty to take care of our mother earth. These strangers cannot stay here unless they learn to live naturally according to the kaianerekowa, the great peace. They must cooperate with creation which is difficult for them. They came here temporarily and will leave to return to their mothers to help her or go elsewhere. We have always encouraged them to clean up their garbage on onowarekeh turtle island. We can’t let them stay here until they finish destroying all of turtle island. 

Here is what is happening.

The colonists messed up their homeland and then migrated to another land, here. The told us their stay on turtle island was suppose to be temporary. They broke this promise. Before they came from their Kanatsaion’on Old Country they developed a plan to secretly annihilate the indigenous people and to make up a legend that these strange inhabitants once lived here but disappeared. Settlers were taught we were not real Indians. Their plan was to totally exterminate us all, take all the resources and then move on. In the meantime they created republics of war to put down any resistance here and elsewhere where they planned to kill off or assimilate the natural peoples and then take over the land, always thinking ahead in their journey to take over the world. The original people and creation were not told about this plan as we lived according to nature.

They came to turtle island only to try to get rich, died poor and now their children are doing the same, raping the earth trying to get rich. They are still trying to disappear us. Dekanawida warned us that “the white serpent would have us squeezed so tight we could hardly breathe”.  Throughout they have moved their people in to inhabit our lands. Then unseemly events occurred like railroads and highways to claim all our lands. Nature is going to teach them. If the settlers are smart they will come to the indigenous elders to understand about oneness with nature, unity. They must clean up their messes and live absolutely sustainable with mother earth. 

All the work was done for them by imported slaves and workers to be disposed of when necessary, work that can now be done by machines and robots. Our indigenous saw them as strange, ia-ra-ti-konkwe kiken, unhumans and as corporate fictions, way back when. Our elders taught our young women not to have children with these artificial entities. But our women were impregnated by the strangers to create a servant class. They had ads in the newspapers of Europe to come to take “free” land. The deep state corporation imposed their laws throughout by treaties of international trade and commerce.

Actually they were to be killed or die off if things did not work out. It was called “Starting Over” in the new lands of other peoples. Hitler learned from the American experience how to implement the Nazi program using the concentration camps as the reservations. Then “You’ll have room to grow”. We were placed by the military on concentration camps called “reservations”. Canada’s plan is to make us citizens and complicit in their plan to execute us as a people and to claim our land. “Reconciliation” is the definition of their corporate fiction.

European oligarchs are the beneficiaries and the shareholders. To them we are expendable. Robots to be thrown in the garbage dump. Every aspect of their “pioneering” is programmed, like pouring toxins in and near our communities to poison us. Cutting down all our trees. While all their holidays are to remind them of their old country, except for one, the indigenous thanksgiving harvest. When these people get to their new ‘land’ they always wish they were somewhere else because they do not belong here. Many wonder what they are doing here. After several generations the settlers are starting to realize the indigenous values. They call it “the great awakening”.  

We indigenous do not wish to be anywhere else but on our mother where creation placed us so we can take care of her. They have no ties to her as we do. We tell each other stories so we know we are not alone. The colonizers say they came to turtle island to start a new culture. But they had to first eliminate the ones who were already here. These people fly from one place to another but end up dying alone because they don’t belong anywhere. Their minds are robotic, without deep feelings. They are people who are not tied to the land like us. They could and can still kill us without remorse and then hide and forget about it. It was part of the plan. Being unnatural people they change their appearance and language.  

But they messed up and did not tell their people. In Canada they have been in a cocoon. Now the settlers want to become butterflies. They’ve been asleep waiting to come out as something beautiful.

We indigenous live in our close knit communities and always maintain our ties to each other. The settlers say they came here to build a new world in this open country where they had room to grow. But they had to take care of business first. Us! 

Turtle island was a business venture. The biggest on earth. The deep state filled theirs and everybody’s heads with dreams that they can get rich on stolen lands while helping to murder the natural people. They were sent to this new world of the okwehonweh natives, to onowarekeh, turtle island, which the marauders named “North America”. As a coverup all the original geographical names were killed too. Also, we were all forced to be called silly foreign names or punished. They told us they were sent here by their gurus because it was their fate. We sensed it was all planned out by big companies who made a lot of money and gained a lot of world power. We noticed these companies are all owned by the same families. They invaded our paradise instead of fixing their garbage covered unliveable lands.

They set out to annihilate all life on turtle island. Despite our faults we can survive as we love one another and our land.  We were told there will be a bright light many times brighter than the sun coming from the east, all the serpents will flee onowarekeh. There will be two suns in the sky and the peace will return. We are on the cycle of the return of the sky world and the peace.” 

John Denver and others sang and said that we must all keep all of our mother beautiful. 

He was born in the summer of his 27th yearComing home to a place he’d never been beforeHe left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born againYou might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far awayOn the road and hanging by a songBut the string’s already broken and he doesn’t really careIt keeps changing fast and it don’t last for long
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain highI’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the skyThe shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabyRocky Mountain high (Colorado)Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds belowHe saw everything as far as you can seeAnd they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sunAnd he lost a friend but kept the memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streamsSeeking grace in every step he takesHis sight has turned inside himself to try and understandThe serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain highI’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the skyTalk to God and listen to the casual replyRocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fearOf a simple thing he cannot comprehendWhile they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple moreMore people, more scars upon the land
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain highI’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the skyI know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle flyRocky Mountain high
Colorado Rocky Mountain highI’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the skyFriends around the campfire and everybody’s highRocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)

To protect their ancestors’ graves, the Mohawk Mothers will be taking their case to the Supreme Court for recognition of their right to an independent inquiry into the unmarked graves of Indigenous and non-Indigenous children buried clandestinely on tekanontak (“mount royal”, kanien’kehà:ka/rotiononhsión:ni land occupied by McGill University), the site of the former Royal Victoria Hospital and Allan Memorial Psychiatric Institute. Following the Court of Appeal of Québec overturning the Superior Court of Québec decision’s to this effect at the request of McGill University and the Quebec government (via the Société québécoise des infrastructures, SQI), the Kanien’kehà:ka kahnistensera and the Independent Special Interlocutor Kimberly Murray will be holding a press conference with their supporters on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at noon in front of the Supreme Court of Canada (301 Wellington Street, Ottawa to report on this major moment in which they are turning to the Supreme Court of Canada.

McGill and the SQI unilaterally disbanded the panel in the summer of 2023, leading the Superior Court of Québec to order its reinstatement in a decision that was subsequently overturned by the Court of Appeal of Quebec. In the company of Independent Special Interlocutor Kimberly Murray, and in accordance with traditional kanien’kehá:ka and rotiononhsión:ni protocols, the Mohawk Mothers will explain why they are turning to the Supreme Court in their battle to enforce their traditional responsibility to care for the land and protect the children of past, present and future generations.

EXHUMATION DAY OF ‘D.C.SQUAT’ OCT. 25, 2024.

Posted on by

MNN. Oct. 4, 2024. The 2022 Gross National Product of the colony of Canada is $2,139,840.000,000 [trillions] for 2022 which all comes from the land of the murdered Indigenous people of turtle island, most of who lie dead in secret graves in turtle island. The invaders brought nothing here from their land. The number of murders is hidden by the usurpers from Europe and their accomplices. One day national leaders will be prosecuted for war crimes by courts. They are all on our shores uninvited by us. They still have plans to extinguish the rest of our rights. Now we can see why it is the army that runs the Department of Indian Affairs and the war for our land is still ongoing as they pillage all of our natural resources to enrich a few. These criminals who believe they are masterminds must answer for the horror they have carried out and plan to continue to inflict on us. They live off the proceeds of one of the bloodiest regimes in human history. Canada, It’s over.  

No matter how much apologies they give us, it is meaningless. Their “apology program” is somehow to lessen the responsibility of their crime. Canada is a recent invention. 153 years old, a privately owned corporation by the same 13 families that we noticed were running everything on both sides of the fake border they put up on turtle island after the false flag American Revolution. Each municipality of Canada is a private corporation and the trustees are all bankers. Therefore, they own each of the citizens of each municipality outright according to their legalese system. The paupers of Europe stole our lives, possessions and land. Justice will be carried out and there will be punishment for this nightmare that has shackled us.  

The human being has the potential to be good and bad. Many need laws to be half way nice because it is not their nature. But all good and bad still benefitted from the crimes. The wrongs are so calculated, malignant and devastating that the world can no longer ignore it. Only the return of the peace will stop it. We shall have peace on earth and it’s coming soon. The kaianerekowa will punish them for committing the worst horrors ever. They destroyed us with ruthless brutality.  

The genocide is ongoing. The immigrants have in common that they came here to turtle island with the hope of getting rich on stolen Indian land. They all had ambitions to take our land and to murder us. Their military were behind them.

Today they have us all locked on these reservations. We are strong. We will survive as creation intended. 

“Our object is to continue [their disappearance] until there is not a single Indian in Canada”. Duncan Campbell Scott. [Indian Affairs]

We want D.C. Scott’s body exhumed and returned to his homeland in Scotland where he belongs.

Paul Revere & the Raiders reminds us of the recent past raid of our men, women, children and our mother earth: “they took the whole cherokee nation, locked us on this reservation. Took away our way of life . . .”

DARPA: DARK SIDE OF MCGILL

Posted on by

MNN. June 29, 2024. In the 1800’s McGill military academy was crashing and desperately needed money. They fraudulently borrowed from the “Iroquois Trust Funds” which were never repaid to the Mohawks. Now McGill has offered to return these stolen funds by paying for any Mohawk who attends their university, though Indian Affairs already pays tuition and expenses for all Indigenous who go there. This looks like part of the continuation of the state terror program through their education system.

Canada considers the indigenous as state property entrenched in their colonial system which is sustained by repression, lies, constant fear and death. The band council system known as “government mules” on each POW encampment called ‘reserves’, carry out the genocidal orders of the state. Our children are being  herded into one of the foremost corporate brainwashing institutions in the world, McGill, where the merciless enemies of the indigenous are trained to not apply peacetime rules. We are not grateful to be offered our own money by an education system based upon genocide and European values, similar to the deathly residential schools that have been acknowledged as “cultural genocide” by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Genocide is genocide!

We are waiting for every indigenous place name to be publicly reinstated throughout onowaregeh turtle island. The European names reflect genocide. 

“THE DARK SIDE OF DARPA”.

 

People throughout the world see that the levee is about to break and the people of McGill might not be prepared for it. As the song says, when the levee breaks, honey, you gotta move:

If it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to breakIf it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to breakWhen the levee breaks I’ll have no place to stayMean old levee taught me to weep and moanLord mean old levee taught me to weep and moanIt’s got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his homeOh well, oh well, oh well
Don’t it make you feel badWhen you’re tryin’ to find your way homeYou don’t know which way to go?If you’re goin’ down SouthThey got no work to doIf you don’t move to Chicago
Cryin’ won’t help you prayin’ won’t do you no goodNow cryin’ won’t help you prayin’ won’t do you no goodWhen the levee breaks mama you got to moveAll last night sat on the levee and moanedAll last night sat on the levee and moanedThinkin’ ’bout me baby and my happy homeGoing to ChicagoGoing to Chicago
Sorry but I can’t take youGoing down, going down now, going downGoing down now, going downGoing down, going down, going down
Going down now, going downGoing down now, going downGoing down now, going downGoing d-d-d-d-downWoo, woo

EMANCIPATION IS HERE ON THIS ISLAND

Posted on by

MNN. June 28, 2024. Everyone in the world knows that we onkwehonwe are turtle island. The colonists took up residence, and stole the land, forests, waters, resources from the natural people placed here by kasastensera kowa saoiera, creation.  What they are doing to us is not fair, just or reasonable. They know we can never give up our mother earth. The kanienkehaka of akwesasne are carrying out their duties according to the kaianerekowa, the great peace.

Land Back at Barnhart

Contextualizing the Re-occupation of Barnhart Island in Shared Legacies of Struggle

By Jennifer Lee

On May 21, 2024, a group of eight Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) community members from Akwesasne were arrested at Niionenhiasekowa:ne (Barnhart Island). Certain individuals among the “Akwesasne 8” had originally gone to Barnhart to exercise their right to build a hunting and gathering shelter on their own territory, in part to protest an ongoing land claim settlement that threatens to hand over Kanien’kehá:ka title to this island, among other traditionally held territories, to New York State. The settlement is being negotiated between New York entities and three Akwesasne government councils.1 Presently, the settlement negotiations would require the extinguishment of Mohawk title to Barnhart Island, which would be effectuated through an act of Congress.2 By asserting their right to the land, the Akwesasne 8 have sent a clear message to both negotiating parties. Barnhart Island, like all other territories illegally stolen and swindled from their community, is not for sale—particularly not by collaborationist band and tribal council entities that purport to represent the full community but that were in fact historically imposed upon it at gunpoint.

By Marina Johnson-Zafiris

“[This] is not a story of triumphs of engineering over nature, nor is it a story of masterpiece on international diplomacy, nor even a story about change. It is rather a story about the intimate relationship that the Mohawks of Akwesasne had with the environment in which they lived from time immemorial and how change was forced upon them, through really no choice of their own. It is the story of how the forces of outside government and corporate America seemingly conspired to break the identity of the Mohawk in a manner that no residential school had ever successfully accomplished—by changing the environment in which Mohawk survived . . .” (Elders Study, 1995)

https://magazine.scienceforthepeople.org/online/akwesasne-and-the-history-of-hydropower/

Our minds and hearts are chained to that island for thousands of years. There is nothing that can break that chain, as Joe Cocker sings to our intruders: 

Unchain my heart
Baby let, let me be
‘Cause you don’t care
well, please
Set me freeUnchain my heart
Baby let me go
Unchain my heart
‘Cause you don’t love me no moreEvery time I call you on the phone
Some fella tells me that you’re not at home
Unchain my heart
Set me freeUnchain my heart
Baby let me be
Unchain my heart
‘Cause you don’t care about meYou’ve got me sewed up like a pillow case
But you let my love go to waste
Unchain my heart
Set me freeI’m under your spell
Like a man in a trance baby
Oh but you know darn well
That I don’t stand a chanceUnchain my heart
Let me go my way
Unchain my heart
You worry me night and day

Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don’t care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart oh please
Set me free
Alright

I’m under your spell
Just like a man in a trance, baby
But you know darn well
That I don’t stand a chance

Please unchain my heart
Let me go my way
Unchain my heart
You worry me night and day

Why lead me through a life of misery
When you don’t care a bag of beans for me
Unchain my heart
Please set me free

Oh set me free
Oh woman why don’t you do that for me
You don’t care
Won’t you let me go
If you don’t love me no more
Like a man in a trance
Let me go
I’m under your spell
Like a man in a trance
Oh but you know darn well
That I don’t stand a chance no
Oh
You don’t care
Please set me free

GREAT PEACE IN SOLIDARITY WITH PALEST’INDIANS

Posted on by


These words were shared by participants of the 50th Anniversary of the Geniengeh Land Back Celebration that happened last weekend.

MNN. May. 13, 2024. The attempt by McGill University, which is on indigenous land, to move the Palestinian student encampment from McGill through colonial court action cannot happen as they come under the protecto o0g the tree of peace. Should Canadian colonial authorities try to invade them, they will be trespassing on Mohawk land. They pretend to have a legal and moral right to be here. But they do not. According to the great peace, which encircles turtle island, any who follow the great white roots of peace to their source are welcome to sit under the shade of the tree of peace with us. The kahnistensera/council of women is the basis of peace on earth. All life on earth has a right to seek survival and refuge under the great peace, which supercedes any foreign laws brought to turtle island. If their minds are clean and follow the kaianerekowa, they are welcome. Kasastensera kowa sa oiera is the great natural power of creation which gives them the right to seek refuge under the great tree of peace. It is all about kanonkwatsera, which is about love, the most powerful medicine on earth. Every child knows to love a stranger like a friend. Love a friend like family.  All those protecting their people and all life are following the great law of peace. The fire in our minds to survive and be free comes from creation which applies to all life.

Robbie Robertson tells the story: t

The general rode for sixteen daysThe horses were thirsty and tiredOn the trail of a renegade chiefOne he’d come to admireThe soldiers hid behind the hillsThat surrounded the villageAnd he rode down to warn the chiefThey’d come to conquer and pillage
Lay down your armsLay down your spearThe chief’s eyes were sadBut showed no sign of fear
It is a good day to die (It is a good day to die)Oh my children dry your eyesIt is a good day to die
And he spoke of the days before the white man cameWith his guns and whiskyHe told of a time long agoBefore what you call historyThe general couldn’t believe his wordsNor the look on his faceBut he knew these people would rather dieThen have to live in this disgrace
What law have I brokenWhat wrong have I doneThat makes you want to bury meUpon this trail of blood
It is a good day to die (It is a good day to die)Oh my children don’t you cryIt is a good day to die
We cared for the land and the land cared for usAnd that’s the way it’s always beenNever asked for more never asked too muchAnd now you tell me this is the end
I laid down my weaponI laid down my bowNow you want to drive me outWith no place left to go
It is a good day to die (It is a good day to die)Oh my children don’t you cryIt is a good day to die (It is a good day to die)
And he turned to his people and said dry your eyesWe’ve been blessed and we are thankfulRaise your voices to the skyIt is a good day to die
Oh my children don’t you cry (don’t you cry)Dry your eyesRaise your voice up to the skyIt is a good day to die

MOHAWK KNOWLEDGE KEEPER PROVIDES GUIDANCE TO “PALESTINIAN ENCAMPMENT” @ MCGILL

Posted on by

TODAY, MAY 3, 2024, AT 3.00, KANIENKEKAH WORDS WILL BE. PROVIDED BY TEKARONTAKE, A KEEPER OF TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE, AT THE MCGILL ENCAMPMENT ON MOHAWK LAND FOR ALL INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.

 

MNN May 3, 2024.The kahnistensera Mohawk Mothers wholly support the encampment that the McGill students and professors set up to demand that McGill divests from the ongoing genocide of indigenous Palestinian people in Gaza. 

In 2015 Palestinian students at McGill came to see us to share their concerns that McGill is conducting military research in its “war labs” that were used against Paleistinians. As a result one of the Mohawk Mothers issued a notice of seizure of McGill Universsity on September 12, 2012, which sits on Mohawk Kanienkehaka land. Since then the Mohawk have experienced McGill’s ongoing colonial enterprise both against the Palestinians and Kanienkehaka. 

McGill is now using its students tuition money to appeal a judgment the Mohawk Mothers obtained at the Montreal Superior Court to make them respect a settlement agreement signed with the Mohawk Mothers to allow expert archaeologists to search for the potential unmarked graves of the Mohawk and other relatives used as guinea pigs in medical experiments at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

“Why does McGill continue to invest its money to fight us and other indigenous people throughout the world? McGill has to divest all the money it is devoting to fight against the indigenous rights, dignity and lives here on Turtle Island and in the Middle East. We stand with the encampment and the students are here on our unceded territory with our permission. 

The Superior Court of Montreal also agree they are doing nothing illegal. We Mohawks kanienkehaka have our own legal system since time immemorial, the Great Peace, which promotes non-violent peaceful and egalitarian resolution between all peoples regaredless of their race and color. 

McGill would be better to abide by our way which is on our territory, to avoid sowing more conflict and violence as it is now doing.

As the the students resist and persist to end the wars,  Karonhiatajegeh’s Unity flag flies in the middle of it and we can hear whispers of the students saying “God Bless Louis Hall”, as we know that Karohiatajegeh hears it in the spirit world and smiles upon us. “You are you. I am me. He is he. She is she. When we put our minds together, we are  the people, all children of mother earth. We are one . Celebrate. The power of one mind, participate. The power is the people. Not the money or the war. Let’s raise our voices so they hear us. Let them roar. No more killing of our own family. Let’s give peace a berth. ‘Cause we’re all in this together. We the people of Mother Earth”.
