ARABS:\u00a0 POWER OF INDIGENOUS CONSCIOUSNESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MNN.\u00a0 19 FEB 2011<\/strong>.\u00a0 The Kaianerekowa is the Great Law of Peace.\u00a0 It is not a religion.\u00a0 It is a philosophy of freedom meant for all.\u00a0 Over 100 million Indigenous people in the Western Hemisphere were killed in the biggest holocaust in all humanity.\u00a0 The Mohawks always peacefully resisted Canada and US colonialism and international bank directed dictatorship because we remember the genocide.<\/p>\n

According to our birthright we can never relinquish our lands and resources.\u00a0 We never have.<\/p>\n

In the past when the colonial entities murdered our chiefs, the people took over.\u00a0 The power is in the people.\u00a0 The leader is the spirit within the people.<\/p>\n

In 1990 our burial grounds and ceremonial site at Kanehsatake were going to become part of the Oka Golf Course in Quebec without our knowledge or consent.\u00a0 Two Mohawk communities, Kahnawake and Akwesasne, stood up immediately to support the resistance of our brothers and sisters.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Early on the morning of July 11th 1990 Quebec sent in a para military SWAT team.\u00a0 They opened fire on the men, women and children who were camping and peacefully protesting.<\/p>\n

A 78-day siege began.\u00a0 In August 5,000 Canadian soldiers surrounded three of our Mohawk communities, with tanks, snipers, lethal weaponry and top generals.\u00a0 They had orders to massacre us if we fired one shot.<\/p>\n

The world watched in horror as a few of us stood nose to nose with the military forces.\u00a0 We women stopped shots from being fired by anyone.\u00a0 Supporters stood ready to defend us.<\/p>\n

International pressure forced the military to pull back. On September 26th we came out to go home.\u00a0 The soldiers and cops beat us up.\u00a0 One child was bayoneted in the chest.\u00a0 We were arrested and charged.\u00a0 In the end three of our men served sentences.<\/p>\n

Afterwards we were hunted down like criminals.\u00a0 We were called \u201cterrorists\u201d and insurgents for defending ourselves.\u00a0 The Canadian government bombarded us with pacification brainwashing programs to help us get over or forget their brutality.<\/p>\n

Historically we Mohawks never cooperated with the corporations and bankers who invaded us.\u00a0 We constantly point out the illegitimacy of their existence on our land that wants to steal our birthright.<\/p>\n

Like us, the Wisconsin protesters who are being fleeced by the government, want to keep what they have.\u00a0 The government wants to bust the unions because they are a non-government alternative source of the peoples\u2019 power.<\/p>\n

A public increasingly unemployed, broke and homeless is told to obey while trillions are spent on the military complex, wars, no fly lists, spying, neighbors reporting them, scanning everything or being falsely charged with treason for uttering the truth.<\/p>\n

Our Indigenous communities are, in effect, concentration camps.\u00a0 They are controlled and protected by foreign colonists and entities through their highly paid band and tribal councils.\u00a0 We, the landowners, are the poorest of the poor.\u00a0 We never resisted for money.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tyrants are foolish to rule by fear.\u00a0 There comes a time when uncompromising anger dissolves fear.\u00a0 These disposable dictators and their puppets will all be gone.<\/p>\n

Tyranny is being challenged everywhere.\u00a0 The dictators using mercenaries to protect them and enforce their will further weakens the decaying empire.\u00a0 Their high tech death squads guard them and brutalize their people for money, not loyalty.<\/p>\n

Our philosophy instructs us to fight until we win.\u00a0 When the black belt falls and hits the ground, we must begin the resistance.\u00a0 We cannot stop until we win or we can\u2019t fight any longer because we are all dead.\u00a0 We have stood up to overwhelming odds and held them off many times.<\/p>\n

Our struggle empowered us.\u00a0 We exposed the truth, stood defiantly and maintained independence.\u00a0 We never relinquished anything above and below the ground.<\/p>\n

There were risks.\u00a0 We protected our people under the guidance of the Great Law of Peace.<\/p>\n

We never gave the dictators what they craved:\u00a0 obedience, cooperation and submission.\u00a0 We cannot because submission to anyone violates the Great Law.\u00a0 We are equal and have a voice.<\/p>\n

In the end the thugs couldn\u2019t overcome our lack of fear.<\/p>\n

The Arabs lived under the gun and are now removing their terrorists.\u00a0 They know that no one will free you but yourself.\u00a0 No one can tell the Arab tribes they cannot help each other.<\/p>\n

Awareness brought down their tyrants.\u00a0 Here on Turtle Island, the people don\u2019t see the gun yet.\u00a0 Tyrants know we have a right to freedom.<\/p>\n

Watch out!\u00a0 Indigenous consciousness is transcending military might.<\/p>\n
