Leaders from 11 Native American tribes stormed out of a meeting with US federal officials in Rapid City, South Dakota, to protest the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which they say will lead to ‘environmental genocide.’
Native Americans are opposed to the 1,179-mile (1,897km) Keystone XL project – a system to transport tar sands oil from Canada and the northern United States to refineries in Texas – for various reasons, including potential irreversible damage to sacred sites, pollution, and water contamination.
Although the planned pipeline would not pass directly through any Native American reservation, tribes in proximity to the proposed system say it will violate their traditional lands and that the environmental risks of the project are simply too great.

Arizona police stalking activists: Chilling effect on human rights

Report author Beau Hodai: Chilling effects of US police spying

By Brenda Norrell

TUCSON – While violent crime soared in southern Arizona and the economy was collapsing, police were spending enormous amounts of time and money to spy on human rights activists, primarily by stalking them on Facebook and placing an undercover police officer in Occupy Phoenix, a new report reveals.
Phoenix based law enforcement were the pivot point of this circle focused on spying on human rights activists in southern Arizona. The Tohono O’odham Police and Tucson Police were among those tracking Native American human rights activists, including Navajos and Tohono O’odham. Read more: http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2013/05/tohono-oodham-and-arizona-police-stalk.html
The facts and documents were exposed when DBA Press and the Center for Media and Democracy released the results of a year-long investigation: “Dissent or Terror: How the Nation’s Counter Terrorism Apparatus, In Partnership With Corporate America, Turned on Occupy Wall Street.”

Beau Hodai, author of the report, told Censored News, “The most shocking thing to me was the depth of intelligence sharing between publicly-funded ‘counter terrorism’ personnel and private corporations, banks and ALEC. I suspected that this had occurred, but I did not realize how intensive these public-private relationships were. I certainly did not anticipate that, as records show, intelligence gathered by an undercover officer who had infiltrated Phoenix activist groups was most likely being shared with these private interests.”

 

 Hodai said he hopes the report and year long study will bring about awareness and change.

“We are now living in a time where many Americans — if not most Americans — expect that all of their telecommunications (both phone and email) are being monitored, or collected in some way. In fact, those who believe this are correct. In light of this reality, we have seen many people adopt an attitude of, ‘well, I’ve got nothing to hide, so I don’t care if I am monitored.’”

“Nevertheless, the persistent notion that someone is constantly listening in causes a chilling effect in that many people no longer express themselves as freely as they otherwise would. This restraint — this self-imposed censorship — only serves to stifle free discussion of ideas — especially ideas critical of government and the policies that have resulted in this restricted state of communication. What can result is a state where people hesitate to voice their mind. A state without such free discourse is no longer a functioning democracy.”

“So, that’s the danger. What I’d like to see this: More people becoming aware of what is happening to them and passing information they gather on to others. I’d like to see people learning about their local fusion centers and the activities of these centers. I’d like to see people submitting public records requests and Freedom of Information Act requests with agencies engaged in these fusion centers. We have it within our power to audit the activities of these agencies — and we should exercise these abilities before we lose them. We can use the information we gather to challenge those leaders who continue to push the nation down this road we are on. Education seems to be the key.”

As the ATF was running AK47s to the cartels in Mexico, and homicides soared, Phoenix law enforcement focused on Occupy Phoenix, essentially a handful of people camping.
The absurdity of this spying on activists is magnified by the reports on the obsession of Phoenix area law enforcement with Rev. Jesse Jackson and his visit to Occupy Phoenix.
A Starbucks barista busted the Occupy Phoenix police infiltrator, but there is nothing funny in the pages of police spy documents as law enforcement sought to make criminals of Native American human rights activists, struggling to protect their homelands from destruction and exploitation, and their people from abuse.
The sinister underlying reality reveals the priority of law enforcement in southern Arizona, a priority that allows real crime to proliferate.

The report reveals how federal and state law enforcement monitored Occupy Wall Street activists nationwide. However, the bulk of the report details how counter terrorism personnel engaged in the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center (ACTIC, commonly known as the Arizona fusion center) monitored and otherwise surveilled citizens active in Occupy Phoenix, and how this surveillance benefited a number of corporations and banks that were subjects of Occupy Phoenix protest activity, the report states.
“While small glimpses into the governmental monitoring of the Occupy Wall Street movement have emerged in the past, there has not been any reporting — until now — that details the breadth and depth of the degree to which the nation’s post-September 11, 2001 counter terrorism apparatus has been applied to politically engaged citizens exercising their Constitutionally-protected First Amendment rights,” the report states.
The report reveals for the first time:

·         How law enforcement agencies active in the Arizona fusion center dispatched an undercover officer to infiltrate activist groups organizing both protests of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the launch of Occupy Phoenix and how the work of this undercover officer benefited ALEC and the private corporations that were the subjects of these demonstrations.

·         How fusion centers, funded in large part by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, expended countless hours and tax dollars in the monitoring of Occupy Wall Street and other activist groups.

·         How the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has financed social media “data mining” programs at local law enforcement agencies engaged in fusion centers.

Anishinabe Terrance Nelson: White privilege and tabloid journalism

Anishinabe Terrance Nelson: White privilege and tabloid journalism

By Terrance Nelson

First Nation Roseau River Anishinabe 

May 24, 2013

Terrance Nelson’s response to article ‘Beyond the Pale,’ by Charlotte Allen, in Weekly Standard:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/beyond-pale_724717.html

Charlotte, your Geography is wrong. The Gateway pipeline is not in Alaska, it is in Canada. The speech I delivered to the White Privilege Conference was one hour long. Your article reduces my speech to one paragraph. As dismissive as your comments maybe at least you acknowledge that I received standing ovations.
The Weekly Standard is not much of a Standard if it allows tabloid journalism. Serious journalists check their facts even in Opinion pieces.
To dismiss the over 600 murdered and missing indigenous women in Canada or to dismiss the environmental devastation in the Tarsands of Alberta is denying the American public the truth.
Canadians purchased $2.5 Trillion worth of American exports in the last ten years.
Perhaps, you missed that fact in my speech. The WPC people are allowing Americans to hear a view that is not normally heard in the United States.
My speech was video taped. The Weekly Standard needs to publish a retraction on some of your incorrect facts.
Canada sends the United States over 2 times more oil than Saudi Arabia and hydro electric generating dams in northern Quebec power up 120 million Americans on the eastern seaboard. I would think that more Americans need to hear about issues in Canada. The Cree in Quebec and the Cree in Alberta who send you electricity and oil have issues with the government of Canada that could impact trade. To be dismissive of those concerns is your right, the WPC organizers however are not so dismissive and are taking their responsibility to be informed seriously.
Perhaps the Weekly Standard could do the public a favor by giving others the opportunity to counter your biased article.

Terrance Nelson

I made a fifteen minute speech in 2009 in Calgary to 4,000 First Nation people as a Candidate for National Chief. I got a standing ovation. Too bad, that I began to campaign six weeks before the election when the winner had been campaigning for two years. Only the Chiefs got to vote not the people. 

The writer takes personal attacks on people and uses that to make her points, she doesn’t do research but if people what to research issues on Canadian Indigenous people, you may begin by reading a recent paper by Douglas Bland.

I don’t take attacks on me personally, the more important issue for me is to get attention to the conditions faced by our people. The writer resorts to attacking the messenger and not paying attention to the message. We lose valuable time if we try to defuse personal attacks, we need to stick to the message.

 Some of the information from the Douglas Bland paper, released May 1st, 2013.

The warrior cohort
The young warrior cohort is here to stay. By 2017, about 42 percent of the First Nations population on
the Prairies will be under the age of 30, over twice the 20 percent in the non-Aboriginal community.
Many young Aboriginal people are disadvantaged by circumstance, government policies, band
mismanagement, negative leader models or parental choices. They tend to be poorly educated and
unskilled.

To reduce the feasibility of an uprising in the First Nations, Canada needs educational and employment
policies that immediately transform future First Nations cohorts aged 15 to 24 into productive, self-
reliant people.

May 2013 Douglas L. Bland
 

FIRST NATIONS:
OUR DISTANT PARTNERS
T he social legacy of Canada’s Aboriginal policies and of Aboriginal people’s social choices
presents to Canadians – Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal alike – a looming, self-reinforcing
danger. The thousands of disadvantaged Indigenous people of the past are being reinforced by
the frustrated and marginalized children of the present who will, in turn, become the ever-larger lost
generation of tomorrow. That the Idle No More movement of 2012-2013 has been driven primarily
by the mobilization of Aboriginal youth, many articulate and creative, others angry and disconnected,
is a perfect illustration of the cumulative effect of Canada’s inability to ensure full Indigenous
participation in its wealth and quality of life.
The challenge for Canadian and the Aboriginal communities’ formal and informal leaders is to rescue
today’s Aboriginal youth from the negative social effects of Canadian realities and the shortcomings
of Indigenous governments and, at the same time, prevent conditions from disenfranchising future
generations of First Nations youth. There is no either/or choice in this situation.

Expectations raised by legal victories and government announcements
seem to lead nowhere or fall away. As the frustrations of unfulfilled expectations rises, anger in the
communities – especially among young people – festers and grows.
 

The internal disputes in the AFN and the assertive behaviour of a number
of Manitoba chiefs continued after the Ottawa meetings. In Winnipeg
in June 2012, the tone and mood was still pessimistic and aggressive. On
announcing his candidacy for National Chief of the AFN, Terry Nelson urged
the chiefs to use the resources on their lands as the means of empowering
their communities. When, he declared, the world understands that the First
Nations “and not the immigrants are the real owners of all the natural resources wealth in Canada
[then we] will begin to have an independent First Nations foreign policy that is not tied to Canada.”
(Terrance Nelson, Toronto, 17 July 2012)

Other leaders have echoed Nelson’s powerful rhetoric. Their common expressions are anger and
frustration boiling up from a deep sense of betrayal and unfairness.

About 615 First Nations in Canada, situated as “bands,” live on some 2,720 reserves across the country.
Each Nation is self-defined and more or less governed in traditional ways but subject to the Indian Act
nonetheless. AANDC officials oversee in various degrees the administration of these reserves.
Approximately 700,000 individuals identify as First Nations people out of a total Canadian Aboriginal
demography of 1,172,790 people that includes Métis and Inuit….The Aboriginal population grew by 45 percent
between 1996 and 2006 compared to 8 percent in the non-Aboriginal community over the same
period. By 2017, about 42 percent of the First Nations population in the prairies will be under 30 years
of age (YOA) compared to less than 20 percent in the non-Aboriginal community in Canada. (StatsCan,
91-552-x, 07 December 2011)

Illicit drug use is also widespread on many reserves. Media reports in 2012, for
instance, confirm that the situation is so severe that some reserves have made
declarations of emergency to draw attention their situations and request aid
for their people. “In 2009, the Nashnawbe Aski Nation … representing 49 First Nations in northern
Ontario declared an emergency over its entire territory.” (Postmedia News, 23 February 2012) Leaders
in the Cat Lake First Nation in the same region declared an emergency in January 2012, saying it
suspects that “400 of its 600 residents were hooked on Oxys [Oxycontin pain medicine].” (CBC News,
16 April 2012) Community drug epidemics bring with them violent attacks on individuals, robbery,
and spousal and child abuse. (Winnipeg Free Press, 16 April 2012)

Violent crimes rates: Aboriginal, 319/1,000 compared to 1/1,000 in the non-Aboriginal
population;
• Homicide: 8.8/100,000 compared to 1.3/100,000;
• Spousal abuse: 21 percent compared to 6 percent.
• These and other Aboriginal-on-Aboriginal crimes are visited mainly on young people: 461/1,000
for the 15-34 YOA cohort and 192/1,000 for those over 34 YOA.

Overwhelmingly in Canada, the non-Aboriginal community enforces the Criminal Code on the
Aboriginal community. Incarceration rates are as remarkable as they are constant. For example, in 2007-
2009 “Aboriginal adults accounted for 22% of admissions to sentenced custody, while representing
3% of the Canadian populations.” (StatsCan, 85-002-x, Volume 29, No. 3, July 2009. p.5) In the
same period, 17 percent of all male inmates in provincial/territorial custody were Aboriginals. More
than 18 percent of female inmates were Aboriginals. (The Globe and Mail,
27 September 2012) The federal system kept pace with provincial counts.
During the same period approximately 18 percent of all male prisoners and
25 percent to 30 percent of all female prisoners were Aboriginal. (Ibid, p.9;
See also Winnipeg Free Press, 03 March 2011)

A disproportionate number of youth entering the correctional system in
Canada are Aboriginal. A 2010-2011 study reported that Aboriginal female
youth comprised 34% of all female youth in the correctional system, while
Aboriginal male youth made up 24% of all male youth in the correctional
system. By contrast, about 6% of both male and female youth in the general
population are Aboriginal. (StatsCan. SC 85-002-x 2012: updated October
2012)

The greater tragedy for these young people is that whenever they are mixed in
with the older prison population they are soon recruited by Aboriginal gang
member in prison. As police officials understand, “If you’re not a member of
a gang when you go to jail you will be when you come out. Many prisoners
simply cannot survive jail life without the protection of a gang.” (Yahoo News,
March 15, 2010.)

On release from prison most of these young people migrate
into criminal gangs and other harmful (to themselves and society) anti-social situations. (MLI. Wilner,
October 2010; Confidential interviews Winnipeg 2009-2010; and “the Nelson Files.”)
These consequences have their own debilitating economic and social effects on individuals and First
Nations communities as well as on the wider Canadians society. The disproportionate number of
incarcerated Aboriginal people symbolizes the accumulated social penalties that flow from Aboriginal
poverty, poor education, failed families and communities, and from closely related drug use and
criminal activities on- and off-reserve. (CPAC, 12 October 2012)

In Manitoba, Aboriginals represent 15 percent of the provincial population but 71 percent of the all
prisoners. In Saskatchewan, the ratio is 79 percent out of 15 percent of the provincial population.
And in Alberta, the ratio is an astonishing 80 percent out of 11 percent of the people.

In a recent report (2010), the federal Correctional Investigator noted that “[I]n the Prairies [Aboriginal people]
comprise … a staggering 60 percent of offenders.” As well, “Aboriginal women are even more over-
represented than men in the criminal justice system, representing 30 percent of women in federal
prisons.” This report attributes these statistics to “systemic discrimination and attitudes based on
racial and cultural prejudice, as well as economic and social deprivation, substance abuse and a cycle
of violence across generations.

THE SECOND DETERMINANT:
THE WARRIOR COHORT
A s history and the daily news illustrate, wars, rebellions and major criminal activities rely almost
exclusively on males in the 15-29 YOA range. The greater the availability of young men as
recruits (willing or not), the more feasible the opportunity and the lower the costs of launching
an uprising. These correlations play out in wars between nations and in the ugliness of armies
composed of “child soldiers” (Dallaire, 2010).
When they checked the “robustness” of their vast data files, the Collier research team confirmed a
statistical “extreme selectivity” to the size of the young male cohort in states relative to the risk of
conflict. The team assumed, moreover, that this selectivity occurs because “some young men have
both an absolute advantage and a taste for violence.” (Collier et al, 2009, p.16)
The First Nations demography aligns well with this problematic population.
The median age in this community is 25 YOA compared to 43 YOA in
Canada’s non-Aboriginal population. Approximately 20 percent (2006) or
157,000 people – male and female – fall into the First Nations 15-24 YOA
range. Moving the statistics for males into the broader 15-34 YOA (warrior
cohort) range produces several thousand more potential recruits for any
active endeavour. Removing the male prejudice in describing young warriors
(or “young thugs” in the criminal context) adds tens of thousands of young
women to the combative force. (StatsCan, 91-552-x, 07 December 2011 and
StatsCan 97-588-XIE, 09 September 2012)
Offsetting this phenomenon is the fact that young Aboriginal women are more
likely to complete high school and/or college/university and thus develop
more stable lives than men or women who do not. Gender differences in
educational success and other socially positive attributes are, moreover,
important contributing factors to the unease and unhappiness among young
Aboriginal males in 2013.

Of course the writer doesn’t do any research on the issue, she simply uses emotion to justify her view of the WPC. Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to make a presentation that was one hour long. The respect and attentive manner of the people in the room was greatly appreciated. IF you are now starting to get the attention of the New York Times, people like me who have gone to Iraq and Iran are going to cause Homeland Security to monitor your organization and that is precisely why articles like this are printed. The powers that be want to shut the door on asking questions. You cannot be allowed to question.

I am attaching this to my email list which a lot of BCCs. My emails go all over the world, some may not get to see the link to the article but I will attach it anyway and ask the BCCs if they cannot get the link to contact me directly. I will sent the article to them.

Haudenosaunee statement on tribal councils

Greetings from the Chiefs, Clanmothers, Faithkeepers, and people of the Haudenosaunee Six Nations Confederacy, People of the Longhouse.

The Grand Council of Chiefs would like to take this time to remind its citizens of the Haudenosaunee position on imposed elected Band and Tribal councils and our proposed remedy to standardize governance within the domain of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

From the moment elected councils were imposed in our communities, its primary intent was to abolish the strength and national character of our traditional governments and to assist in the enfranchisement and assimilation of the Haudenosaunee into the national fabric of both Canada and the United States. It has since been the position of the Haudenosaunee that elected councils imposed by either Canada or the United States, exist outside the Circle Wampum. No one person or nation can bring into the Circle another form of governance without the full expressed acceptance of the Grand Council.

The Circle Wampum makes the line between traditional councils and elected councils clear and distinct; the traditional councils are the original governments of the Haudenosaunee communities/nations handling national affairs, while the elected councils are imposed systems of the Indian Act in Canada and Federal Indian Law in the United States for the administration of colonial policies in each community. Within recent years however, these elected councils have begun commandeering the distinct symbols, philosophies, and national character of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy–thus misrepresenting themselves to external agencies and the limiting the significance of the Haudenosaunee as an original Indigenous system of governance.

Whether it is reference to the Two Row Wampum, treaties, nation-to-nation relationships, or the subtle implication that these elected councils are somehow synonymous with the Haudenosaunee Confederacy or the Traditional Councils; this ambiguity has now perpetuated a false impression and confusion both externally and internally that elected councils are actually a part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy.

Most recently, these elected councils have endeavoured into the international arena, a domain populated by nations and states, through a formal entity called the Iroquois Caucus, National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), and The United Southern and Eastern Tribes (USET). Since 1977, the Haudenosaunee have pioneered the indigenous presence at the United Nations and other international venues, leading towards the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; a presence the Iroquois Caucus, NCAI, and USET endeavours to supplant by perpetuating itself as the legitimate voice of our communities internationally and will act in the interest of their colonial masters Canada and the United States.

The Grand Council of Chiefs feels that it can no longer remain acquiescent on this matter and must insist that the appropriation of the Haudenosaunee national character cease. Furthermore, the Grand Council of Chiefs must relay to its neighbours that the Iroquois Caucus and its tributary elected councils, along with both the NCAI and USET, do not represent the Haudenosaunee or it’s member nations. While the Grand Council of Chiefs feels that it must be firm on this matter, our council reminds elected councils of the Haudenosaunee remedy to standardize governance in our communities under the Kaianere’ko:wa (Great Law of Peace).

In 1991, the Haudenosaunee Chiefs outlined its prerequisites to begin meaningful dialogue on how we can all live by the principles and laws of the Kaianere’ko:wa, within the Longhouse of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. At that time, Haudenosaunee Chiefs asked the elected councils to respect and recognize its authority over eight political areas it historically claims jurisdiction over. While we understand that at this time Canada and the United States only recognize the legitimacy of elected councils, we feel this will never change so long as our own people wilfully accept this colonial imposition. The Grand Council of Chiefs remains steadfast to this necessary show of good faith and is prepared to begin the necessary work to help decolonize the political structures in each of our communities.

This issue is challenging in many ways because of the personal impact this has on individuals who have a heartfelt connection to the Haudenosaunee and wish to express it in ways that they think is helpful. What is not realized is that by representing the Haudenosaunee within colonial constructs it furthers the colonial agenda of Canada and United States. The elective systems are foreign entities that are colonizing the culture by misappropriation. Placing our teachings, laws, and symbols within the colonial construct of the elective band council system is morphing decolonization into a meaningless apparition of cultural revitalization and transformation.

The Kaianere’ko:wa is based upon inclusivity, peaceful coexistence, and strength through unity ­ bound by laws that ensure a democratic and consensual decision-making process. The Grand Council of Chiefs makes no judgments of the moral character or sincerity of those individuals who currently serve as elected councillors, but we do encourage them to bring their gifts, skills, and dedication back into the canoe and take shelter beneath the Great Tree of Peace. Bound together by the good tidings of peace and power, we can be stronger than ever.

DOUBLE JEOPARDY

Posted on May 23, 2013

MNN. May 22, 2013. Canada and Israel are “bosom buddies” settler colonists. Both exist by dispossessing or displacing Indigenous people for our land and resources. They call their autocratic governing systems “liberal democracies” which have no accountability for their theft and crimes against humanity. These bogus corpo-nations dominate by organized state terrorism.

Netanyahu to Harper: “I told you not to brag about our relationship!”

 

Both want to head or be a major part of global military empires. Canada would be the leader in extracting stolen Indigenous resources. Israel threatens a nuclear holocaust using weaponry “made in America” with Canadian resources. Israel constantly threatens to annihilate the Indigenous Palestinians. Canada punishes the Palestinians for resisting genocide by threatening boycotts and withholding aid. 
Our land and resources are being driven into the marketplace. Like a dishonest used car salesman, Prime Minister Harper travels the world “fencing” stolen Indigenous property. We pay Canada’s bills from our stolen, ever-growing $110 trillion Indian Trust Fund. Until recently no one knew about our secret account. Now the world watches while Canada tries to distribute it among the money greedy international bankers that are the shareholders of the Corporation of Canada and owners of Israel. The bankers need Canada’s massive deposits of indigenous natural resources to fund their continued theft of Palestine, which is also unsurrendered Indigenous land. 
Harper wants to personally break up the natural communally held Indigenous land into individual plots. Multinational bankers want access as soon as possible.   

Charles: “I’m here only for the money!”

Harper announced he is is calling an election for October 25^th  to continue his fake majority. He wants to install a longtime bloodline lay-about thief, Prince Charles, to “govern” Canada as a “regent”! This mocks Middle Eastern dictatorial kingdoms overseen by lifetime control puppets.   
Extensive bribery systems like the corporate band council “Injuns” allow capitalist development for the benefit of a few.
Canada and Israel could not exist without attacking resistance through repressive by-laws and military enforcement. Gross violations of human rights do not concern them. They deliberately drive down the standards of living of their native targets to live a hand-to-mouth existence.  
The over-sized egos of these despots remove them from reality. Their one-man rule “kingdoms” are run by rampant, blatant corruption. Security is a prime obsession. Sheik Harper is rumored to wear a bullet-proof bra! 
Our safeguards are to hold our lands collectively; do away with the corporate tribal and band council control grid, confront evil and shake off the fear. As Tom Petty sang: Well I won’t back down, No I won’t back down. You can stand me up at the gates of hell But I won’t back down” I wont back down

Statement from Leonard Peltier on Oklahoma Tornado Tragegy

Statement from Leonard on the Oklahoma Tornado Tragedy

Friends, Relatives, Supporters, and to the People of Oklahoma,

There are so many things in life that we question. We think that life isn’t fair. We wonder why so many innocent people have to suffer and what the lesson is, in all of this. I am thinking of the many, many people who were devastated by the tornado that ripped through Moore, Oklahoma, leaving so many families homeless and taking the lives of the 24 people, including those innocent little school children and their teachers who so bravely tried to protect them.. My heart goes out to the families as they try to make their way through this. At this time , there are no words that can reach the depth of their hurt.

From where I am, I offer my humble condolance and hope that in some way, they can hear the good words that our people offer as comfort, and that they see through their tears, the hands reaching out to help them. I offer my prayer for Creator to guide them and comfort them now, and in the days to come. I know that from my Nation of people, we wrap our arms around you and extend words of encouragement.

I am standing with you.

Pilamiya! Mitaku’ oyasin.

Mohawk Nation News ‘Designer Terrorism’

DESIGNER TERRORISM

Posted on May 22, 2013

Peace at last!

MNN. MAY 21, 2012. The word government means; to control (govern) the mind (mente), this action is terrorism.   Canadian Prime Minister Harper’s job is to continue using this terrorist strategy. A terrorist attack, demonizing tactic or friendly dictator is a scripted performance. Terrorism is the constant use or threat of violence to intimidate, create fear and submission. Actors or agents provocateurs are often used to set up directed attacks to demonize, assault and bring us under control.

The Corporation of Canada commits acts of unlawful violence and war. The formula is similar to criminal organizations and protection rackets, both have a chain of command and conspiracy cells. Opponents are legitimized so armed force can be sent in against civilians. Mental and physical violence are designed to frighten, kill innocent people and intimidate the population. The public is subjected to political, violent and psychological repercussions. 

Harper: “Duffy, Flanagan, Wright, Wallin, Ford, Brazeau – let’s go for it!”

The government runs a protection racket called “regulatory capture”, where an agency created to protect the public interest, instead advances the corporate interests of the sector they are regulating.  Government threatens imprisonment, property confiscation or damage if the people do not pay them for “protection”. Police enforce this “tax grab”. Corporate agents divide up the geographical, business or transaction territories. Officials demand bribes to look the other way, extort kickbacks or give campaign contributions for favors. Mainstream media is the ministry of propaganda in the corporate government and reinforces terrorism.  
Canadian terrorism is warfare against unarmed Indigenous people. Canada refuses to deal with unresolved political differences with the true land, resource and fund owners. Canada dominates through its military and threat institutions like child and social welfare, education, jails, courts, employment system, all funded by the bankers. Indigenous complain about oppressive by-laws, criminal procedures and enhanced military powers, like in Oka in 1990. Tactics include increased intelligence and surveillance and permissive interrogation and detention policies.

Even powerful dictatorships like Canada need more than fear. Psychological terrorism is manufactured to make the people give in to the government demands.  The government always act like victims of terrorism when in fact they are the terrorists. Terrorism is made up fiction by the fascists running US and Canada. In the end the terrorists will be exposed for who they are, no matter how many mass shootings or bombings they do against us, the people.  

Watch out for Indigenous WMD!

Canada steals power by promising false security. They threaten to destroy businesses, kidnap children through Child Welfare, or send the victim to prison. Hillary Clinton admitted that Al Quaeda was a CIA creation. The media have convinced the People that their enemy is the elusive and imaginary Al Quaeda. Then the state legitimize killing its own citizens, at will. The more elusive or imaginary the government created foe or terrorist, the better for getting public support. As Conway Twitty sings; ” People see us everywhere. They think you really care. But myself, I can’t deceive, I know it’s only make believe.”Only make believe
