Advanced Strategies on Stealing Indigenous Resources\u201d
\n\u2013 TWO DIRTY COLONIAL REPTILES \u2013 CHRIS \u201cODB\u201d REID AND ROBIN \u201cROTTEN EGG\u201d AITKEN CITED AS SLIMEY \u201cAUTHORITIES\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MNN.<\/strong>\u00a0Mar. 4, 2008.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cAll the tricks of the colonists are now revealed\u201d, sayeth the infamous Indigenous sage, Red-X. \u201cIt\u2019s a manual on how to try to cash in on our land and resources\u201d. It was used at Dehcho and it looks like they\u2019re fine tuning it at Sharbot Lake too. Here are some of the key hints on their dirty tricks and how to counter them.<\/p>\n

Colonial Dirty Trick #1.<\/strong>\u00a0Call it \u201cdemocracy\u201d and make sure you keep control. Invite the Indigenous to conferences on \u201cself-governance\u201d. Make sure they go to lots of fancy cocktail parties with open bars, with colonial big-wigs like Governor General Michaelle Jean and other \u201cheavies. Give them tiaras to try on and a taste of \u201clife in the fast lane\u201d. Make sure they\u2019re too drunk to notice they\u2019ve sold out their people.<\/p>\n

Colonial Dirty Trick #2.<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure Indigenous are outnumbered three to one at every meeting. Red-X says, \u201cDon\u2019t go to Ottawa, Vancouver or Kingston or any big city. Hold them meetings at home in your tipi, longhouse or your condemned Indian Affairs bungalow with the cracked window panes and asbestos contaminated floors and walls\u201d.<\/p>\n

Colonial Dirty Trick #3.<\/strong>\u00a0Put out colonial law as if it\u2019s Indigenous law. Ignore Indigenous legal processes. Only look at what counts according to the colonial Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

The Red-X says, \u201cLet\u2019s take a look at how two colonial reptiles played out the \u201clife and death\u201d game against our people of the Northwest Territories\u201d. Red-X goes on to reveal the \u201cColonial Cheat Sheet\u201d used to try to pull the wool over our eyes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CDT #4.<\/strong>\u00a0Information is power \u2013 the colonists have two control strategies: collect, horde and keep it to themselves. When necessary they make it disappear. The other option is to put out a whole lot of lies, like false history and myth making. Even create “Indians”!<\/p>\n

CDT #5.<\/strong>\u00a0Put some \u201cheavies\u201d at the table. The bigger the title, the longer the resume, the fatter, the better. At the talks with our Dehcho brothers and sisters, the \u201cheavy\u201d, Minister of Indian Affairs, Robert Nault, said, “The signing of these agreements is an acknowledgment of a new relationship between the Deh Cho, Canada and the GNWT”. What he really said was, \u201cI hope I confused you because I\u2019m f\u2014king confused myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Nadli, a sell-out band councilor, said, “We look forward to Phase II to begin substantive negotiations on the more fundamental elements of Deh Cho Governance.” Translation: \u201cI\u2019m being played. They\u2019re making me read a script I don\u2019t understand\u201d.<\/p>\n

CDT #6.<\/strong>\u00a0Use hierarchical colonial criteria with with the colonists sitting at the top seeing themselves with guns and money in hand. We are supposed to be down there somewhere out of sight. They always beat around the bush.<\/p>\n

CDT #7.<\/strong>\u00a0Design an extreme \u201coffer-concession strategy\u201d to bowl the Injuns over if we kick up a fuss or raise awkward questions, like, \u201cHow\u2019re you gonna clean up your filthy mess?\u201d That\u2019s when the “operatives” throw the chair back and pull away from the table. We can stop these sleazes even when they threaten to take the \u201cbribe\u201d money with them.<\/p>\n

CDT #8.<\/strong>\u00a0The colonial “hoods” will walk out if they lose \u201ccontrol\u201d. That\u2019s when we know the whole is falling. Translation: \u201cWe ain\u2019t playing with you bad \u2018Injuns\u2019 anymore!\u201d<\/p>\n

CDT #9.<\/strong>\u00a0Look for weaknesses. These gangsters may even use a \u201cgood cop\u201d and a \u201cbad cop\u201d strategy to throw those Injuns off balance. We all know there\u2019s no \u201cgood cop\u201d. They\u2019re all \u201cbad\u201d. They then threaten us with illegal injunctions, jail time and law suits. At the January 6, 2008 Kingston meeting \u201cODB\u201d Reid\u2019s pal, \u201cAlgonquin Would-be\u201d, Robert Lovelace, was sent back in to talk to the Mohawks after the \u201ccarpetbaggers\u201d stomped off in a huff. Would- Be\u2019s job was to side track the Mohawks with his \u201cCointelpro\u201d charm. The next day these \u201cair punching\u201d carpetbaggers disappeared to a secret hideaway. The Mohawks found them and once again they slithered off into the darkness.<\/p>\n

CDT #10.<\/strong>\u00a0The carpetbaggers don\u2019t like the people you bring along. They will suggest taking your sell-outs into another room to make a deal behind closed doors. ODB Reid was overheard telling \u201cNeed-to-be-Algonquin-to-settle-a-phony-land-claim\u201d Lovelace, \u201cThe next time we should meet with George White of Frontenac Ventures alone with no lawyers\u201d. They\u2019re trying to make a deal on uranium mining on Haudenosaunee land at Sharbot Lake. When we tried to ask questions, they fled again with their coat tails flapping.<\/p>\n

CDT #11.<\/strong>\u00a0They want targets. In the 1990 Mohawk-Oka Crisis at Kanehsatake, we sent in different spokespeople every day. Alex Patterson and Bernard Roy, the negotiators for Quebec and Canada, got spitting mad. Their threats were ignored. They picked up their toys and left. Negotiations broke down.<\/p>\n

CDT #12.<\/strong>\u00a0The colonial agents stuff their side with \u2018know-it-alls. Warns the Red-X, \u201cThis does not intimidate us. We just have more foul smell to cut through. Just keep telling them this is all our land, we are sovereign and they are trespassers\u201d.<\/p>\n

Our Basic Way is simple: Report daily to the community. Get their instructions. Select new negotiators each day to avoid getting targeted and becoming too cozy with the adversaries.<\/p>\n

Indigenous men cannot meet with adversaries without consulting the women. We all have diverse knowledge, abilities, expertise and responsibilities. We have to use the Great Law traditional decision making process to bring in everybody\u2019s ideas. Separate private \u201ctete-a-tetes\u201d are meant to force us into making secret deals with the devil.<\/p>\n

The meetings must be 2 sided \u2013 the Indigenous People on one side and all the pirates on the other side \u2013 with a neutral third party approved by both sides to mediate. This is required by international law.<\/p>\n

The Dehcho Coercion Process involving Chris “ODB” Reid and Robin “Rotten Egg” Aitkin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cDehcho Nation\u201d is in the southwest corner of the land known to the colonists as the \u201cNorthwest Territories\u201d. It covers roughly 210,000 square kms. There are 10 communities. The colonial vipers wanted their land and resources and to put a pipeline through their territory. It\u2019s not a place where the vipers themselves dream of living or raising their families. But they sure do salivate after the resources.<\/p>\n

Red-X warns, \u201cWatch out for \u201cODB\u201d. Reid. It is believed he was the double dipping negotiator and lawyer for the Deh Cho [(867) 695-2355 or (416) 466-9928]. Look out for Robin Aitken who was the Chief Federal Negotiator from Indian Affairs [(819) 953-1018]. Don\u2019t let Bob Patterson slip away. He was the Chief Negotiator for the Northwest Territories [(867) 873-7167]. “They brag about their prowess with Indigenous people\u201d, said Red-X. Check out their websites. See what they think of us. Their using similar dirty tricks in the current \u201cmining and land claim strategy\u201d at Sharbot Lake.<\/p>\n

The Deh Cho process started in 1998 when former Indian Affairs Minister Jane Stewart sent in her patsy, Dr. Peter H. Russell, to look at Dehcho \u201clands, resources and governance\u201d on behalf of industry. She\u2019s now trying to organize Six Nations according to this Manual.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatsy\u201d Russell teaches political science at the University of Toronto [phruss@aol.com] and speaks on the \u201cLessons of Ipperwash and Caledonia \u2013 Learning to be Treaty People\u201d. [This title is sooo patronizing! Try not to barf!] He works at the C.D. Howe Institute, a Conservative think tank, that plans and schemes against us. He also spent time among the Australian Aborigines. After his visits to Dehcho, agents were sent in to start managing them. George Erasmus, who gets put on all kinds of government boards and commissions, was put in as chief negotiator for Dehcho.<\/p>\n

First there was an \u201cInterim Measures Agreement\u201d signed in May 2001 to let the Dehcho take part in their own land and resource management. Wow! What progress! [They have been doing this for thousands of years!]<\/p>\n

Canada wanted an \u201cAgreement-in-Principle\u201d in five years and a final agreement two years later so that industry could get their claws on the resources, oil, gas and diamonds and to put in the pipeline. Dr. Russell recommended something called \u201cinterim measures\u201d and then an \u201cAgreement-in-Principle\u201d. There\u2019s no science behind their spin on names for their theft!<\/p>\n

On May 21, 2001, Dehcho, NWT and Canada signed something else called a \u201cFramework Agreement\u201d that was supposed to be based on the fraudulent Treaty 8 of 1900 and Treaty 11 of 1921 and 1922 with Canada. If the Dehcho scrutinized these treaties, they might find they don\u2019t meet international law standards.<\/p>\n

Some other fancy names to awe us into being coerced might include \u201cLand Use Planning\u201d funded by Canada; \u201cInterim Land Withdrawal\u201d to temporarily protect lands not presently needed by industry; involve the Dehcho in the \u201cMackenzie Valley Resource Management\u201d to make them feel important, meaning \u201cwe\u2019ll let you talk to us but we don\u2019t have to listen to you\u201d; National Energy Board, an outsider, will authorize oil and gas activities with a benefit plan for someone; Canada will let Dehcho watch them turn their land into a park; and \u201cjoint ventures projects\u201d called \u201cInterim Resources Development Agreements\u201d will let Canada and industry steal the resources and give a few pennies to the Dehcho.<\/p>\n

Resources like wildlife and fish will be used, managed and protected without specifying by whom and at whose cost.<\/p>\n

In August 2003 the Dehcho stopped surface and sub-surface development for five years, probably on the land that has no resources that industry wanted. The mining companies, environmental groups, prospectors and oil and gas companies were probably involved in deciding which 34% of the lands were withdrawn.<\/p>\n

In the \u201cInterim Resource Development Agreement\u201d of April 2003 the Dehcho would benefit only if there was oil and gas development. Dehcho got 12.25% of the first $2 million [$250,000] that Canada collected in resource royalties from the Mackenzie Valley each year, and 2.45% of any more royalties. The Dehcho could only get up to 50% each year to a maximum of $1 million. \u201cYou\u2019ll get an allowance if you behave ourselves\u201d, Canada told them. Canada will hold the balance in trust so that they can dip into it for their own needs. This is an old trick. At the final agreement in 2005\/06 the Dehcho got $1 million. The oil and gas companies are taking out at least $1 million a day if not an hour from their land.<\/p>\n

Dehcho had to agree to issue oil and gas exploration licenses and prospecting permits the first year and every two years after that. Mining companies can go to individual Dehcho communities to make separate deals. This is all so underhanded.<\/p>\n

Canada says they are giving the Dehcho a chance to “hit the ground running” when a final agreement is completed. Yes, we\u2019d better all run away from these salivating reptiles! This means they will give the Dehcho an advance on their allowance which will be deducted from the final settlement. If it doesn\u2019t go through, the Dehcho may have to pay it back.<\/p>\n

In September 2004, the Dehcho sued the Mackenzie Gas Project, suspending land, resources and governance negotiations. In the out-of-court settlement of July 2005 Canada agreed to pay Dehcho $31.5 million over three years through \u201cprogram funding\u201d and \u201cnew funding\u201d which the Dehcho have to get anyway. It ended up as $3.5 million per year to make it look like the Dehcho were taking part.<\/p>\n

The \u201cFramework Agreement\u201d sets out how Canada would set up an illegal municipal government to avoid legitimate nation to nation relations. \u201cYeah, we\u2019ll let you \u201cregulate\u201d your own land and water as long as you go by our “rules\u201d, which are in the best interests of industry!\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dehcho role in the Mackenzie Valley Land & Water Board was to bring their land and resources under the same overall controlling regulations. We hear they got two jobs from the oil and gas exploration. Did ODB Reid get this for them?<\/p>\n

Derek Neary of the Deh Cho Drum, Fort Simpson, wrote about the distrust of federal negotiator, Robin \u201cRotten-Egg\u201d Aitken. Rotten Egg repeatedly said that Canada doesn’t have anything up its sleeve! He said that the Dehcho made him push the negotiations. Do we believe that? It\u2019s always the other way around.<\/p>\n

An Old “Indian” Trick We Learned from a White Man: Canada made agreements with \u201cmetis\u201d to put pressure on Dehcho to go along with the land and resources giveaways. Who are these \u201cmetis? Anybody who wishes to be native, like the \u201cpaper Algonquins\u201d at Sharbot Lake who are negotiating away Haudenosaunee land? The \u201cCongress of Aboriginal People\u201d CAP is the federal government creature that signs up anyone who wants to be an \u201cIndian\u201d. If this keeps up, every Canadian could sign up and be part of this subterfuge. As Red-X said, \u201cThey can never be Ongwehonwe!\u201d The Red-X advises, \u201cBrothers and sisters, we must use our natural world strategies against these beasts\u201d.<\/p>\n
