MA RUSSIA DEFENDS HER FAMILY

MNN. Mar. 3, 2015. The incident in Moscow that killed Boris Nemstov reminds us of the events of one hundred years ago. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of the Hapsburg Dynasty was heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. They occupied Serbia which had always been a part of the Russian Federation. On June 28, 1914 Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were on their way to visit a hospital in Sarajevo. A young Serb shot and killed them. One month later Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. The Serbs called Mother Russia for help. Tsar Nicholas arrived, killed 300,000 Austro-Hungarians and World War I began.   Russian_bear
Events were set in motion that led to a war between Germany and her allies and Russia and its Western allies.

Throughout history, Russia, as the mother of Christianity, has constantly been attacked by the same Vatican Khazarian forces. She is continually being called upon to defend her offspring from the forces of the West that are anxious to exploit every inch of the lands they occupy.

"Hey! We only wanted one cub [at first]!"

“Hey! We only wanted one cub [at first]!”

On February 28, 2015, Nazi Opposition critic in Russia, Boris Nemtsov, was killed. The West instantly blamed his death on Russian President Putin. Like the many current “suicided” bankers, dead men don’t tell lies. Nazi corporatist, Nemtsov, signed up for such an eventuality of being sacrificed on the alter to the gods of corporate war. Those who know the history have always seen the Russians defend themselves and their families.

The Warmongering Harper government pretends to represent the people of Canada. Canadians only want peace. The Ongwe’hon:weh great law of peace is being breeched. Canada has joined the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan in economic sanctions and expulsions of Russian diplomats. Fighter jets, a naval frigate and military officers have been deployed to train Eastern Europe NATO allies to intimidate and eventually attack Russia.

We Ongwe’hon:weh continue to offer the key to replacing corporatism and war with peace, Teiohateh/Two Row. Get rid of the 51% corporate matrix dictating to 49% so war never ends. When the colonial settlers invaded Ono’ware:geh/Great Turtle Island, we did not take sides. Their greed has no part in the Peace here.

We're to lay low while they fight it out!

We’re to lay low while they fight it out!

The good people of Russia remind us of Howlin Wolf’s “Little Red Rooster”: “Oh, the dogs begin to bark now. The hounds begin to howl. Watch out, stray cat people, Little Red Rooster’s on the prowl”.

AFN INC. DISSOLVING – CANADA INC. FINISHED!

Posted on by

Please post and distribute. Nia:wen.

MNN. May 17, 2014. When the Assembly of First Nations Inc. dissolves, the corporation of Canada dissolves! The band and tribal councils are a major part of the corporation of Canada grid. Their main job is to help Canada carry out the genocide program and sign away our land and resources. They present a fake democratic front pretending to represent us.

One day we will learn that brutal visitors came and then all left!

Some day brutal visitors will invade us. They will refuse to live by the Great Peace and will leave.  

 

The current conflict within AFN Inc. is between those who want to sign away our ever growing $950 trillion Indian Trust Fund and to authorize the extraction of our resources by their puppeteers. The others want independence, freedom and to live by the law of the land. Once these “chiefs” step down, the corporate grid will disappear. Canada cannot continue the fraud of using our land and resources as collateral to raise money on the stock exchanges.

We refuse to beg for our own funds from Canada Inc. We will stand together to fight our common enemy. Canada is trying to keep control by bringing forward a back up sub-corporate entity of AFN named the ‘Confederacy of First Nations’. Both are one in the same and will dissolve with the Corporation of Canada. Canada Inc. is panicking and trying to create conflict and confusion between various corporate “Indians”.

Fleeing Babylon!

Fleeing Babylon!

The chiefs will take the moral, legal and high ground by stepping down and joining the true natural people of Great Turtle Island. It’s over for AFN Inc. and Canada Inc. The true Ongwehonwe will assert our sovereignty.

New World Son warns: “This world is just an illusion. Yes, it is. Oh Yeah. Babylon is gonna fall, is coming down!”  New World Son. Babylon is gonna fall”.

CANADA “AVENGES” MURDERED MISSING AFRICAN GIRLS

Posted on by

Please post and distribute.

MNN. May 10, 2014. The Corporation of Canada refuses to investigate the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous girls and young women in Canada. Our girls have no political value to them and an investigation into their disappearance may uncover a connection to law enforcement involvement.

Same girls captured by Boko Haram. Photoshopped.

Same girls captured by Boko Haram! Photoshop takes over the world? 

Canada is hastily sending to Nigeria a team of “avengers” to hunt down the kidnappers of 200 missing or murdered Nigerian school girls who have been captured by the Boko Haram guerillas. Harper said, in effect, “We don’t want any harm to happen to the girls who may be raped, put into slavery or prostitution”, like Aboriginal girls in Canada which he refuse to investigate. Why doesn’t he investigate the thousands of missing and murdered girls and women he’s been elected to do by his people?

Prime Minister Harper brought lying to a whole new level. He will fight such evil and barbarity. Canada, US and France are sending in advisors, surveillance, weaponry and thousands of troops to find these girls and to fight terrorism and Islamic militants in Nigeria. Nigeria is offering to trade them for releasing some Boka Haram.

The Boka Haram gang was established so that the West can go in and destabilize all of Africa, so they could have many wars to beef up their artificial economy. Nigerian leader, Good Luck Jonathan and his wife Precious are assets of the corporations registered through the Vatican. The military is trained, funded and armed with US weapons.

Historically, our Indigenous women have been targeted for elimination from the beginning of the genocide program. On October 25, 1924, the Indian Advancement Act created “Indian reservations” which are the prisoner of war camps for the Indians. The Residential Schools were to ensure they could accelerate the killing of our babies, the sterilization and elimination of our women and breakup of our clans. We were to be Christianized or killed!

The Truth & Reconciliation Commission set up by Prime Minister Harper to investigate the Residential School Holocaust concluded that the “crown” [Vatican] committed genocide under all legal descriptions. Laws against crimes of genocide.

It is time for the Crown Corporation called Canada to be tried for the crime of genocide against the Indigenous people in a non-Vatican controlled International Court of Arbitration. International Court of Arbitration.

Missing murdered: "Mr. Harper, we see you can't walk in our moccasins".

Missing murdered: “Mr. Harper, we see you can’t walk in our moccasins”.

EXTREME TERRORISM

Posted on by

mnnlogo1

 

 

MNN. Mar. 3, 2014. The shaking of the ground started by the Tyendinaga Mohawks represents all the frustrations of Indigenous people everywhere: the 900 murdered and missing girls and young women that Canada refuses to investigate, the residential school death camps that murdered over 100,000 children, the continuing medical and social experiments by Nazis on our kids, Canada’s malnutrition experiments and a long list of crimes against humanity by the illegal corporation of Canada. 

Prime Minister Harper, There will be no more murdered sisters!"

“Harper, there will be no more murdered sisters!”

The new Canada Education Act reminds us of Hitler’s plutocratic education statement: “Give me two generations of their children and I’ll have no problem”. We are being taught lies about everything such as that everything must be monetized, that the land can be owned, soon also our air and water and that whoever has the most money makes the rules.  

Mass graves of these children murdered at Canada's residential school death camps.

Mass graves found of children murdered at Canada’s residential school death camps.

Russia was ready to help the Ukraine pay off their IMF International Monetary Fund debt. This threat to the bankers caused the black serpent US/EU/NATO to kick out the elected president and install an EU puppet banker.  

Through deceptive language of legalese they have co-opted all governments worldwide to become corporations. Admiralty Law is based on Canon Law. The recent agreement signed by the Queen of England and Pope Ratzinger protects them from being charged and punished for their crimes.   

The invaders are not naturally attached to the land or the original people. Canada is a foreign corporation injected by the bankers. We have always resisted their presence. The white serpent, the Free Masons, are in every town in Canada. There are 1,240 lodges [560 in Ontario; 118 in Quebec; 54 in Manitoba; 30 in Newfoundland; 114 in Nova Scotia; 51 in New Brunswick; 15 in PEI; 58 in Saskatchewan; l49 in British Columbia; and 141 in Alberta]. Their “religion” is referred to as The Craft. Within the rituals of The Craft, human blood is required. Historically municipal, provincial and federal politicians have always been affiliated with The Lodge. Free Masons do have a “god” who is Lucifer, another word for Satan. Free Mason Whistleblower.

Our missing and murdered girls and young women.

Our missing and murdered girls and young women. Canada refuses to investigate!

To regain our freedom we must drain and eliminate this abcess from our society. We cannot coexist with this evil enterprise.  

We Indigenous are dangerous to them because we constantly advocate liberation of our land and ourselves. The Mohawks are “shaking the earth” by demanding that Parliament starts a real investigation of these murders by March 31, 2014. Canadians need to know which of their representatives are visiting the Masonic lodges. Remaining silent reveals they are members of this cult. They are evil doers who must leave Great Turtle Island.  

As Malcolm X said, “time and the truth are on the side of the oppressed”. Long live the Indigenous people. Soon these serpents will be but a blot on a page in the history book. 

When the Canadian people face this horror within their own communities, it will put an end to the bloodletting:  “Ride of the Valkyries”

‘TORONTO’ ‘ONTARIO’ ‘CANADA’

Posted on by

mnnlogo1

 

 

MNN. Nov. 19, 2013. The current dispute at City Hall is about who has jurisdiction to run the Corporation of Toronto. It sits on unsurrendered Mohawk land. Toronto is Mohawk for “where there are trees standing in the water”, Ontario [O’nia’ta:rio] is Mohawk for “large wide water” and Canada [Ka’na:ta] is Mohawk for “community”. Under Wampum 44 of the Kaianerekowa/Great Law, land and resources issues are the responsibility of the Kahonti’tiokwa:nio, the Council of Women.  

"Welcome to A'te'ron:to. You need a Two Row Wampum visa to visit."

Haudenosaunee: “Visitors. Welcome to A’te’ron:to. Have you got your Guswentha?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 1701 we invited the settlers to live with us in peace perpetually on our land, according to the Guswentha, Two Row Wampum. They agreed. Then they tried to kill and assimilate us and steal our possessions. The law of Onowaregeh, Great Turtle Island, was totally ignored. When this agreement was breached, they became illegal invaders. 

Robe: "No Council of Women is going to tell me what to do!"

Rob: “No Council of Women is going to tell me what to do!”

 

The bankers illegally set up the Corporation of Canada under the foreign Admiralty Law of the Seas to keep what has been stolen from us. The whole system of corporate governance is artificial. They are guilty of theft, murder and genocide of us and even their own people.

 

Bankers designed this hierarchical system which gives power over others. In Toronto the fight is over who is at the top of the pyramid and controls our funds and resources. In this system the bankers only need to pay off one person at the top. Rob Ford is fighting to remain at the top of the pyramid.   

Bankers put this system in every incorporated country that is part of the UN to run pretend democracies and to know who to bribe.  

Rob to Jim Flaherty: "Stop crying. You got your mansion on Mohawk land!"

Rob to Jim Flaherty: “Stop crying. ‘You’ illegally parked your mansion on Mohawk land!”

The Council of Women have the duty to notify all settlers that as their proclamation supercedes all their rules and statutes, all their settlements, developments and permits violate the Proclamation and the Guswentha.  

Women united can bring peace.

Jim, some day you’ll have to answer to the Women’s Council for trespassing! 

Going back to the land is the only way to fix the confusion. The Council of Women in each community must interact with each other. Municipal level is the most important as the children are raised there.  

The Senate should be turned into the “Council of Women” and the House of Commons into the “Council of Men”, without a hierarchy, prime minister or president. Local grassroots councils deliberate and pass their decisions up to the Councils of Men and Women. Every voice is heard. Everyone is equal. Decisions are not based on 51%, which is corporatism, not democracy. Rob Ford is being kicked out of a 51% vote system based on in-your-face bribery and corruption.

TOTALITARIAN TIPTOE

MNN. NOV. 18, 2013. The Rob Ford spoof is a mind control distraction from what’s really going on.

Methods used to control the minds of the victims.

Spoof is being used as a mind control device. 

His job is to cover the real agenda. The invaders of Great Turtle Island have been living an imitation existence called the “American Dream”, which is becoming the American nightmare. The plutocracy is firmly in charge. Whoever makes the most money makes the rules.

Etobicoke, is the western part of Toronto, where Rob Ford and Stephen Harper grew up. Etobicoke was incorporated in 1954 as “Ontario’s first planned community”. It is an experimental self-contained model for future communities.

Growing planned communities.

Growing North American planned communities.

   

The scripted Ford Show is serving someone’s purpose. Ford Nation promotes among the leaders violence, hatred, greed, control, enslavement, genocide, torture, moral degradation, prostitution, drugs and destruction of family values. Two people have already been murdered over the crack videotape, which is now in the hands of the police. 

Is Ford a trained fool or half wit, or both?

Is Ford a trained clown,  or half wit, or both?

CNN’s Anderson Cooper is coming to Toronto on November 18th to interview the crack smoking mayor. Ford’s seemingly mindless behavior is being promoted worldwide. He is systematically lowering the moral compass permanently. It must be by design!  

The handlers have trained Ford on how to play out vices, follies, abuses and shortcomings for public ridicule. It is drawing attention to the true underworld foundation of the corporatists and the government. Society is being guided gently into fascism, letting them think they are guiding themselves. This move is called the old “totalitarian tiptoe”, starting in Toronto. Bad behavior is being turned into natural behavior, which is becoming acceptable to everyone. Martial law will be needed so the people with the money can be protected. The PTB want to control everyone and everything.

Toronto is run like any private corporation. The people are being conditioned to become tolerant of the intolerable. Criminal and immoral behavior is designed to look normal and funny. Everybody forgives Ford because he is a fat clown. We are all told, “You can’t fight city hall”. “You can’t fight city hall.” Today 11/18/13 Ford physically attacked a co-councillor at Toronto. Ford attacks female councillor in the Toronto City Council chamber.

Many of us see through the window dressing and the lies. Beware, something is coming down the pipe.

IDLE NO MORE INC.

Posted on by

mnnlogo

 

 

MNN. July 16/13. Idle No More was a grassroots Indigenous movement until it got incorporated in January 2013. The owners are shareholders and are now part of the foreign corporate grid structure that controls us and our possessions. The settlers can become part of Idle No More, decolonize themselves and help stop the genocide. Idle No More is governed by the foreign corporate hierarchical structure of Admiralty Law, the law of commerce. It can get a bank account, be taken over by anybody through 51% purchase of the shares. The bankers will take control, if they haven’t already. All corporations exist to generate profit for the shareholders.

Women have everything we need. Incorporation is slavery..

Women have everything.  

Idle No More can sue, buy, sell property, make contracts, pay taxes, even commit crimes. It protects the owners from personal liability for debts and obligations. Tax receipts can be provided to foundations and government bodies for donations to their enterprise. Like all corporations, annual meetings are obligatory.

MNN is an advocate of the real law of the land, Kaianerehkowa/Great Law of Peace. We have never been idle in all our existence. True Indigenous nations are the independent sovereigns of Onowaregeh/Great Turtle Island, and keepers of the law of peace.  

All corporations are controlled by the bankers. Those who remain with Idle No More Inc. can’t fight an entity they have become a part of. It makes no sense.

It will be easier to get money from our enemies.

It will be easier to get raise funds. 

The corporate band council sell-outs are the same. They work for and get paid by the Corporation of Canada. These traitors will be brought before their people to answer for their treachery. 

Idle No More awakened settlers to the genocide. Now they can follow the white roots of peace. If their minds are clean, they can follow the real law of the land, the Kaianerekowa. They are welcome to take protection in the shade of the tree of peace with us. As the band “Show of Hands”  points out ; “When the Indians, Asians, Afro-Celts It’s in their blood, below their belt. They’re playing and dancing all night long. So what have they got right that we’ve got wrong? Seed, bark, flower, fruit. They’re never gonna grow without their roots Branch, stem, shoot They need roots” Roots

WHISTLE STOP TERROR

Posted on by

mnnlogo

 

 

MNN. July 12, 2013.  The blowing up of the train bomb in Megantic [Quebec] raised false flag questions. This event shows the destructive relationship between the corporation and the community created by the government through deregulation. The train went from Montreal, then through the Mohawk community of Kahnawake “Adirondack Junction” station, and onto Megantic. Ed Burnhardt of Chicago is the CEO of Montreal, Main and Atlantic Railroad Company. He also owns the tracks and trains of international conglomerate, “Rail World”, in Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Estonia, Poland, Ukraine, Canada and US. These cars carry mostly deadly war materials in thin easily punctured tankers.  12.5% of the shareholders in the rail company is the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, the public sector pension and insurance fund.

Kahnawake "Adirondack Junction" is to the right, just south of Montreal.

Kahnawake “Adirondack Junction” is just south of Montreal, near Lac-Megantic.

  

Indians don't want these killer steel roads.

Indians don’t want these killer steel roads.

Burnhardt is blaming a “lone gunman’, Tom Hayden, for not following regulations that don’t exist. To make a 2% profit trains are left unattended. Jovial Burnhardt joked about having to wear a bullet-proof vest to meet the horrified survivors of the bombing.  He kept apologizing, “Sorry, sorry, sorry!” He told the Wall Street Journal that not enough manual hand breaks were applied to the train before it was left unattended. “We don’t really have a performance standard to measure all our staff against.” He told the Montreal Gazette his company is not at fault. He blamed the firefighters who put out the blaze of one locomotive. He is thinking of transferring the crew to Sherbooke, 100 miles away. 

On Saturday, July 6, the train smacked into the packed gathering place in the center of town, wiping out most of the youth of the village. They were having a beer on a hot summer night. 

Burkhardt announced that his company intends to keep running freight through Lac-Megantic. “Later, we’ll clean up all the wrecked cars and rebuild tracks around the town and start to run trains through here again”. They just speed through the centre of town, like Kahnawake. The problem is that Megantic like Kahnawake don’t need the train for passengers, delivery or pick up. 

The American Association of Railroads says that it costs $1 to $3 million to build a mile of mainline rail.  The oil comes from North Dakota, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The rail barons and their accomplices deliver their goods to the east and west coasts for international distribution. Train companies are private businesses and are exempt from municipal regulations and noise by-laws. 

Rails & pipelines are major motive for genocide.

Rails & pipelines continue to be major motive for genocide.

Railways are responsible to themselves only, their own inspections, with no obligation to inform anyone about the hazardous materials, like oil, ethanol, sulfuric acid or propane they carry through our villages. 

Rural land is cheaper, without restrictions. The governments gave all our land away no charge to the rail companies, without our knowledge or consent. They do not own it. It is one of the last vestiges of colonialism. These rail families made their fortune originally in the opium trade in China. They are the “Pirates of the Caribbean”, the bankers, who continue to terrorize the world. The people of Lac Magantic will never forget their lost ones as Hank Snow reminds us; “never speak harsh words to your dear loving husband, he may leave you and never return” Wreck of the old 97

An objection has been launched for these illegal forays over our land, threatening our lives. The Council of the Great Peace is being violated. The people of Lac Megantic and others may follow the roots and sit in the protection of the shade of the Great Tree of Peace. We have been waiting for all of the people to join us.

Follow roots to tree of peace.

Follow roots to tree of peace.

  

Burkhardt in Montral Gazette

LET’S PLAY INDIAN

Posted on by

mnnlogo1

 

 

MNN. June 16, 2013.  Why do White People Play “Indian”? From  fake Mohawks at the Boston Tea Party, to Grey Owl, to Oscar de Corti, to Charlie Smoke, to all those grey-haired academics creeping around the “Indigenous” scene who suddenly “found” their Indian roots. indians band
 

Do they aspire to our third world living conditions? Being denied a voice? Losing their land to theft and pollution? Police harassment, racial profiling or sleazy sexual innuendos? Existential angst because their family missed out on the horrific residential school death camps? 

Philip J. Deloria thinks they are seeking a connection with the primal purity they think we know. “Indians are associated with the land, nature, reality and authenticity. Indians posses the ultimate meanings and truths on what America is about”. 

One man said, “They love our skin color, but hate our guts! Everywhere we turn something is named after us or our image is used, as if we are all dead and gone”. land o lake

Just saying you’re Indian won’t let you live on a reservation or open a casino. The BIA in the US and Indian Affairs in Canada decide who is an Indian. In Canada any woman who married an Indian man could become a full-fledged Indian with all the rights and benefits. But not the other way around. Band and tribal registries are inflated with names of strangers who get benefits on the basis of some vague genealogical link. 

The “crying Indian” in the 1970s was fake. Ad Men decided Italian, Oscar de Corti, was more Indian than an Indian! 

Grey Owl told the public everything they wanted to hear. Real Indigenous like Tecumseh and Deskaheh are ignored. Brooke Edwards called herself “Medicine Eagle” and ran fake Indian culture camps in Montana for $1500 for two week sessions. Cultists, con artists, hucksters, charlatans and plastic medicine people grow rich while real Indians starve to death. 

A “Rent an Indian” ad appeared on the net: “Are you embarrassed by the lack of racial diversity at your social events? Just rent an Indian and you too can look multi-cultural to your friends”, without giving up your white privilege! 

"Look at my feathers. I'm an Indian too!"

“Look at my feathers. I’m an Indian too!”

The late Vine Deloria said, “White people are so alienated from their own lives and so hungry for a real life they grasp at any straw to save themselves”. 

Janet McCloud said that even Indians sell our ceremonies for a fee. They spend 15 minutes with an elder and become official Indian representatives. Fake chiefs have signed away our land in fake treaties. Some create new tribes composed mostly of Euroamericans. 

The late Russell Means went to a school Halloween party with his son. He painted his face white and dressed up like a “white man”. The Indians laughed. The others were embarrassed and confused.  It’s a search for roots by a rootless people. It feeds on a 500-year old guilt complex. 

We Indigenous have the earthly answers. As Rex Allen sang: “.. to hear wild stories about the Indians was my biggest thrill. I’d shout and yell and holler like them. I wore moccasins on my feet” .. Son, Don’t Go Near the Indians”
