MNN: DIRTY TRICKS

MNN. Feb. 22, 2013. The Infinite Elder “Red-X” found the Secret Instruction Manual on “Stealing Indigenous Resources”. Here are some of the colonial strategies.
A Red-X disguise.
A Red-X disguise.
Colonial Dirty Trick #1: Call it “democracy”, 51%, and you will keep control. Organize fancy cocktail parties with open bars, colonial big-wigs like the GG and other heavies, and pretty girls to entertain whoever they need to. Give the band and tribal councils tiaras to try on and a taste of “life in the fast lane”.  Get them too drunk to notice they’ve sold out their people. 
CDT #2: Outnumber the Indigenous 3 to 1. Keep them away from their home. Red-X said, “Hold them meetings at home in your tipi, longhouse or condemned bungalow with the cracked window panes and asbestos contaminated floors and walls”. 
CDT #3: Put out colonial law as if it’s Indigenous. 
CDT #4: Collect, horde and keep information. Put out lies, false history and myth making. Create new “Indians” that will go along with the land and resource giveaways that don’t belong to them [CAP]. 
CDT #5: Put some heavies at the table, with big titles, long resumes to confuse everybody. Give scripts to the band council to read that they don’t understand. 
CDT #6: Use hierarchical criteria with the colonists setting up at the front. 
CDT #7: Offer a concession to bowl over the Injuns. If they fuss, throw the chair back and leave the table. Take the bribe money with you. 
They are so stubborn.
Don’t have to listen to this.
CDT #8: Say, “We ain’t playing with you bad Injuns anymore”.  Walk out to keep control. 
CDT #9: Use “good cop” “bad cop” strategy to throw those Injuns off balance. [They’re all bad.] Threaten them with illegal injunctions, jail time and law suits. Then sidetrack them with “Cointelpro” charm. Move the meeting place and don’t tell them where. 
CDT #10: Break them into 2 groups and meet them separately. When they complain, leave. 
CDT #11: Targets are needed. Demand one speaker, not different ones every day. Otherwise, pick up the toys and leave. 
we're going.
We’re going.
CD #12: Stuff colonial side with “know-it-alls” to intimidate them. They’ll keep saying this is their land, they are sovereign and call the colonists trespassers. Walk out! 
Red-X advises, “Try not to barf!” 
How to counter Dirty Tricks: report daily to community, select new negotiators each day; don’t allow private ‘tete-a-tetes’ for making secret deals; international law requires a neutral 3rd party mediator approved by both parties. 
Don’t fall for “interim measure”, “agreement-in-principle”, “interim land withdrawal”, which don’t meet international law standards and don’t make sense. 
Come on, Injunsl, we didn't mean it.
Injuns, you’re not supposed to leave!

As Red-X said, “They can never be Ongwehonwe! We must use our natural world strategies against these beasts”. 

Red-X wonders who wrote this manual. It reminds him of the Monotones song:Book of Love “Tell me, tell me, tell me, oh, who wrote the book of love? I’ve got to know the answer. Was it someone from above?” all seeing eye
