MNN. Feb. 3, 2013. <\/strong>During the Caledonia struggle, former Prime Minister Mulroney gave Prime Minister Harper some advice on how to deal with Indians.<\/p>\n

Mulroney<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201cFirst, you gotta make those Indians look bad. Hire some top publicity firms. Put out 4 negative stories for every positive one. Say the Indians are breaking the law. Block them from arguing their case publicly. They have too many valid papers and good arguments. Lay criminal charges wherever you can\u201d.<\/b>\"Roache-Mulroney-Harper-800x582\"<\/a> <\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Harper: \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>I got that one, Brian.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/b>Mulroney<\/strong>: \u201cLie. Confuse the public. Say they have no real evidence. Suggest they \u2018might\u2019 have weapons and criminal records! The public won\u2019t read the \u201cmight\u201d. They\u2019ll just read \u201cweapons\u201d and \u201ccriminal\u201d. Make negative images so the public sees the Indians as the bad guys. Say you are \u201cdefending law and order\u201d [while you are evicting them from their legal property]. Never mind that they might only have 2 by 4s, bats or a bag of stones. Don\u2019t mention the millions of dollars you are spending on ouzies, tasers, pepper spray, ear drum splitters, M-16s, silencers and the latest in ultra high tech weaponry for the cops\u201d.<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Mulroney: <\/strong>\u201cAnnounce that you want to solve the crisis peacefully. Shut the People out of the negotiations. Deal only with those on your payroll [corporate Indians]. Let the Ministry of Propaganda [corporate media] do their job of putting out 4 bad stories for every good one. Announce that you will tour the reserves to see what the people need. [Still hasn\u2019t done that!] Appoint a known adversary of Indians [such as Mike Harris] as chair of a Commons Committee on Aboriginal Affairs. You know, someone who excuses police brutality.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Harper:\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>You are right Brian ! Mike is our man, remember he got away with the Ipperwash thing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mulroney: <\/strong>Act surprised that the protesters won\u2019t leave peacefully.\u00a0 Then surround them, point guns at them and scare them. Stop their supporters from entering or leaving the protest. If the Indigenous keep resisting, some of them and even our cops might get killed or hurt. Remember, there will be men, women and children there. Indian Affairs policy has been to absorb the Indians into Canadian society whether they like it or not. Harper, your job is to \u201cclean it up\u201d so US and foreign companies can get richer extracting their resources without paying them. You and I will load up our pockets, hahahah! The bankster\u2019s economy depends on clear cutting, mining, water diversions and generally despoiling the land.<\/em><\/p>\n

Harper:\u00a0 <\/strong>We are working on new laws right now to be rid of those pesky indians<\/em><\/p>\n

Mulroney<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201cThe Indians just want to make a stand on a principle, like land and resource rights and their poor living conditions. Tell them, \u201cYou\u2019ve made your point.\u00a0 Now go home\u201d.\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Harper:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWe know there are no leaders. We want to see who the main resisters are. We need a target, someone to shoot at.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mulroney:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u201cOur miltary needs practice so we can send them out to support American interests in the Middle East and elsewhere. We both got elected due to support from American companies. Don\u2019t bite the hands that feed us. Gotta think about our Benjamins, not the people, Stevie.\"chin\"<\/a><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Mulroney<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201cKeep saying, \u201cNo one will get hurt\u201d, if they do as they\u2019re told.\u00a0 The main resisters should be told that the cops will take them out.<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Harper<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201cThe cops don\u2019t want to do the killing!<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Mulroney<\/strong>:\u00a0 \u201cPut native cops on the front line. Mention native factionalism all the time. Let the cops beat Indian prisoners so it doesn\u2019t leave bruises on their faces. They die later of their injuries, like Lasagna of the Oka crisis. I was PM then. It\u2019s dirty work that someone has to do. Cops don\u2019t really care if they lose one of their own. Few remember Marcel LeMay who was killed at Oka? If a cop gets shot by \u201cfriendly fire\u201d, pretend it was the \u201cinjuns that done it. <\/strong><\/b><\/b>With one of your Senate appointments, put in an Indian face.\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Harper:\u00a0<\/strong> \u201dWhat happens if some of our cops sympathize with them?\u201d\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

Mulroney:\u00a0<\/strong> \u201dSay it\u2019s the Stockholm Syndrome. He\u2019s gone crazy. Then run a feature on an old anti-Indian fable. It\u2019s cowboys and Indians time again, Stevie, yee haw! hahahah!<\/em><\/p>\n

Mulroney<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThe Indians just want to carry out their original legal rights that we promised long ago.\u00a0 We have to avoid that at all cost, Stevie. \u00a0<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n

Time to feed the Masks<\/p><\/div>\n

Our amorphous source that is everywhere told us about this secret conversation on their Indigenous genocide program.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Listen to Jimi again: \u201cSome people say day dreaming is for the lazy minded fools with nothing else to do.\u00a0 So let them laugh.\u00a0 Laugh at me\u2026\u201d<\/b>Jimi Hendrix: May this be love<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
