MNN. Feb. 22, 2013. <\/strong>How to steal our consent. According to court rulings and international law, our view and consent are required for any legal use of our land, resources and funds. The racket is to make it look like they got our consent. The ambulance chasers [lawyers] are trained to build a hall of mirrors. When consultation goes on, they make sure we do not hear, see or say anything. Three Monkeys Strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/a>

We can’t hear, see or say anything.<\/p><\/div>\n

We are overrun by chasers. The bureaucrats, politicians and corporations are trying to fill their ambulances with suffering Indigenous people whom they have maimed. Shysters chase us to represent us. Then meetings are held behind our backs with their mentors and clients on how to avoid consulting us or to twist what we\u2019ve said.<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Rezz<\/a>

Rezz Dogs!<\/p><\/div>\n

The bar associations hold seminars to train these chasers on how to help industry, government and Indigenous \u2018stakeholders\u2019 to \u201cconsult\u201d us without actually talking to us. We only find out what we supposedly agreed to when we are told to move away because industry needs the minerals under our community.<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

These teach-ins are attended by chasers, CEOs, VPs, directors, managers, mining, forestry, environment, energy and constitutional law breakers, litigators, negotiators, mediators, bureaucrats, and the \u201cVichy\u201d collaborator band and tribal councils.<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

They learn \u201cTips and Traps\u201d to watch for in their meetings with us. They are told what to avoid: meetings organized by us; meetings in our community; full advertising of the meeting; bringing our own experts; spending too much time in the community to avoid seeing our realities; making scientific evidence available to show the reality of pollution of our land, communities, water and housing; no time lines; full assessment of the consequences of development for the generations to come; letting everyone talk besides those on the band council payroll; allowing grassroots traditionals to define the issues [that\u2019s really dangerous!].<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Training<\/a>

Training band councils to organize their people.<\/p><\/div>\n

They want to shut us up. They go through the motions. They\u2019re told to always act like they\u2019re in a big hurry [to hit the jackpot].\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

When we say \u201cno\u201d, it\u2019s no, and they have to accept it. They can\u2019t start openly or covertly confusing, threatening and undermining us to get their way.<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The Crown has a fiduciary duty to take our advice on investment of our Indian Trust Funds and to report fully to us, the beneficiaries. They can\u2019t avoid their responsibilities to us without going to jail.<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

As Chuck Berry sang in\u00a0Too much monkey business<\/a><\/b> \u201cSame thing every day. Gettin\u2019 up, goin\u2019 to school, no need for me complainin\u2019, my objections overruled, ahhh! Too much money business\u201d.<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
