Peabody Coal seized 1 million Navajo and Hopi artifacts from Black Mesa
Peabody Coal's Greed: Theft of Navajo and Hopi sacred items

BLACK MESA, Ariz. -- While Peabody Coal was raping Black Mesa's coal, and forcing more than 14,000 Navajos into relocation and sorrow, Peabody seized 1 million Navajo and Hopi artifacts from Black Mesa. Those artifacts are are now at the University of Southern Illinois at Carbondale.
Louise Benally, Dine' of Big Mountain, said, "They steal the souls of the ancestors that lie in the land, to violate our human rights currently. The taking out of the bones and remains of our ancestors simply points to one thing, the injustice of imperialism that has encroached on our homelands now.
"The only thing we can say is have them rebury the bones from where they took them. To steal the bones of the ancestors just point to one thing, the violation of our human rights.
"They killed the land when they mined it. It is the mind set of the colonials that does not respect the laws of nature.
"Bones need to be left alone. Everything needs to be left alone and to be replanted there. Peabody Coal Company doesn't have any respect for anything or anybody, only their greed matters," Benally told Censored News.
Peabody Coal, with the aid of attorneys and politicians, fabricated the so-called 'Navajo Hopi land dispute' in order to remove Navajos from Black Mesa and mine the coal.
Now, at the University of Southern Illinois, the Center for Archaeological Investigations says the seizure of Navajo and Hopi artifacts was funded by Peabody Coal. The university even brags about the seizure:
We are currently working on a 5.5-year project to inventory and rehouse the Black Mesa Archaeological Project (BMAP) collections. BMAP is one of the largest, longest running projects in the history of North American archaeology. Fieldwork spanned seventeen years, from 1967 to 1983, and at its peak employed more than 200 persons in a single summer. Nearly 2,500 archaeological sites were identified, and more than 200 sites excavated, on the 256-square km of Black Mesa leased from the Hopi and Navajo by Peabody Energy. Fieldwork produced more than one million artifacts, which the CAI curates along with the field notes, maps, photographs, and other associated documents. Carried out in collaboration with the Hopi and Navajo and generously funded by Peabody Energy, this project will ensure that the BMAP collections are properly curated now and far into the future.

BLACK
MESA, Arizona – Alors que la compagnie Peabody Coal arrachait le
charbon de Black Mesa, entraînant la déportation forcée de 14000 Navajos
et les plongeant dans le malheur, elle s’est emparée d’un million de
vestiges Navajo et Hopi sur le site. Ces vestiges se trouvent maintenant
à l’Université du Sud de l’Illinois, à Carbondale.
Louise
Benally, une Diné de Big Mountain, dit « Ils volent les âmes de nos
ancêtres qui reposaient dans cette terre afin de violer de nos droits de
l’homme actuellement. L’acte d’avoir sorti les ossements et les restes
de nos ancêtres révèle tout simplement une chose : l’injustice de
l’impérialisme qui a empiété sur nos terres natales.
« Tout
ce que nous pouvons dire c’est ré enterrez les ossements où ils les ont
pris. Voler les ossements des ancêtres révèle une seule chose : la
violation de nos droits de l’homme.
« Ils
ont tué la terre quand ils y ont creusé des mines. C’est la mentalité
des colonialistes qui ne respecte pas les lois de la nature.
« On
ne doit pas toucher à des ossements. Tout doit être laissé en paix et
replanté là-bas. La compagnie Peabody Coal ne respecte rien ni personne,
il n’y a que leur rapacité qui compte » a dit L. Benally à Censored
News.
Peabody
Coal, avec l’aide d’avocats et de politiciens, a fabriqué la soi-disant
‘dispute Navajo Hopi pour la terre’ afin de chasser les Navajo de Black
Mesa et d’en extraire le charbon.
Maintenant,
à l’Université du Sud de l’Illinois, le Centre pour les Recherches
Archéologiques dit que la prise des vestiges Navajo et Hopi a été
financée par Peabody Coal. L’université va jusqu’à se vanter de la
prise :
Nous
travaillons actuellement sur un projet de 5 ans et demi pour
inventorier et reloger les collections du Projet Archéologique de Black
Mesa (BMAP). Ce projet est un des plus importants, en volume et dans le
temps, de l’histoire de l’archéologie d’Amérique du Nord. Le travail sur
le terrain s’est étendu sur sept ans, de 1967 à 1983, et a employé
jusqu’à 200 personnes en un seul été. Près de 2500 sites archéologiques
ont été identifiés et plus de 200 ont été fouillés, sur les 256 km² que
Peabody Energy loue aux Hopi et Navajo sur Black Mesa. Le travail sur le
terrain a mis au jour plus d’un million d’objets dont le Centre de
Recherches Archéologiques est le curateur, ainsi que des notes prises
sur le terrain, des cartes, des photographies et autres documents
associés. Ce projet, mené en collaboration avec les Hopi et les Navajo
et généreusement financé par Peabody Energy, assurera que les
collections soient gérées de manière adéquate, maintenant et dans un
lointain futur.

Protect Holy Mount Taylor: MASE Urges Opposition to Roca Honda Uranium Mine

www.indigenousaction.org
Hello friends and allies,
Many of you are aware of MASE and the work we are doing in
northwestern New Mexico to stop proposed new uranium mines in and around
our communities. The Forest Service has just released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Roca Honda
mine, the first proposed new mine in New Mexico in more than 30
years. Aside from the environmental impacts of the Roca Honda mine,
MASE is very concerned with protecting a Native American sacred site,
Mt. Taylor, on which the mine is being proposed. Please join us and
support our efforts to stop this mine by sending in letters and comments
to the Forest Service urging them to deny the Roca Honda Mine’s Plan of
Operations. I have attached our talking points, and a letter from the
Forest Service announcing the release of the DEIS. We would greatly
appreciate your organization sending in letters and sending alerts to
your networks and membership asking them to do the same. Our talking
points are attached, but please feel free to elaborate on those points
and make additional comments.

Amis et alliés,
Beaucoup d’entre vous connaissent MASE [Alliance Multiculturelle pour un Environnement Sûr] et le travail que nous faisons dans le nord-ouest du Nouveau Mexique pour bloquer le projet de nouvelles mines d’uranium dans nos communautés. Le Service des Forêts vient de publier un Projet de Déclaration d’Impact Environnemental [Draft Environmental Impact Statement – DEIS] pour la mine de Roca Honda, la première proposition de nouvelle mine au Nouveau Mexique depuis 30 ans. A part les effets de la mine de Roca Honda sur l’environnement, MASE est très impliquée dans la protection d’un site sacré Autochtone, le Mont Taylor, sur lequel la mine devrait se trouver. Nous vous prions de vous joindre à nous et de nous soutenir dans nos efforts pour empêcher l’ouverture de cette mine en envoyant des lettres et des commentaires au Service des Forêts, demandant instamment de rejeter le Plan d’Opérations de la Mine de Roca Honda. Vous trouverez ci-joints nos points de discussion. Nous apprécierions beaucoup que votre organisation envoie des lettres et que vous envoyiez des messages à vos réseaux et aux membres de vos organisations leur demandant de faire la même chose. Nous transmettons nos points de discussions mais vous pouvez les élaborer et faire d’autres commentaires.
Nous demandons à nos alliés et à ceux qui nous soutiennent trois choses :
1) Demander au Service des Forêts de rejeter le Plan d’Opérations de Roca Honda
2) Demander au Service des Forêts de choisir l’Alternative de « Ne Rien Faire » pour le DEIS
3) Demander au Service des Forêts de publier un nouveau Projet de Déclaration d’Impact Environnemental [DEIS] vu que l’actuel projet est inadéquat

OAKLAND, Calif. – On April 22, 2013, United States District Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton from the Northern District of California has ruled against the Obama Administration’s secrecy around the multi-million dollar, U.S. taxpayer-funded Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (SOA/WHINSEC) military training school, and has ordered that access to who trains and teaches at the school be restored. Human rights activists had taken the U.S. government to court over its refusal to release the information, and won.
Read the court ruling here: SOAW.org/judgment
SOA Watch compiled the names, course, rank, country of origin, and dates attended from 1946 to 2004 for every soldier and instructor at the School of the Americas, which was renamed to the Western Hemisphere Institute in 2001. After researchers exposed cases of known human rights abusers attending the WHINSEC (despite claims that the "new" school was committed to human rights), and shared this research with Congressional decision-makers, the Department of Defense (DOD) refused to disclose any future information about students or teachers at the WHINSEC.

Mohawk Nation News 'Vigilantism'
VIGILANTISM
MNN. Apr. 22, 2013. Vigilantes take the law into their own hands, backed by militancy, bigotry and suspicion, without facts. The mainstream media unleashes propaganda to empower the mob of vigilantes.
During the Mohawk Oka Crisis of 1990, Canada and Quebec directed vigilantism against the Mohawks. On August 28, 1990 a convoy of 75 cars carrying Mohawk mothers, children and elders left the Kahnawake community on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River across from Montreal. Many were the sick and elderly. They were being removed ahead of a forewarned Canadian Army attack on Kahnawake.
Quebec Police, posing as part of the mob, forced the cars to remain on the bridge for 7 hours on one of the hottest days of the summer. On the other side of the Mercier Bridge a white crowd was being organized. Prejudice was spurred on by a local popular radio announcer, Gilles Proulx, urging people to kill “les sauvages”.
Ambulances were let through after patients were examined by the crowd. A young woman in labor had her cervix examined by the mob. When the cars started to move, the crowd pelted the vehicles with rocks while the out-of-uniform Quebec Police directed or looked on. One elderly man was killed. None were charged or went to trial.
Vigilantism is psychological warfare designed to undermine the will to fight. We were “extremists” who had to be brought under control. The issues was our objection to the town of Oka expanding a golf course over our burial grounds and ceremonial site.
Stories of violence and chaos were churned out “The government keeps you safe”. “One global government is needed”, was repeatedly screamed. “Everybody wants peace, not bloodshed”.
Real reason for false flags
We were dangerous. The kasastensera kowa sa oiera placed us on land to which we have natural ties. Our resources are needed by those trying to set up a one world government whose strength is declining. Their weakness is their dependence on the resources of the Indigenous which they have to steal. The resistance to theft imperils their future. False flags are smoke screens. Harper’s vision
In 1990 brainwashing messages were sent out all hours of the day and night. Lies about the Mohawks and nationalism were spouted on the airwaves. The target and the public were beaten into submission. The Mohawks were being prepared for the massacre that was to follow. The army landed on an offshore island to go door to door into our houses. Thousands of unarmed Mohawks young and old, women and men, girls and boys, ran over the small bridge or swam to the island. They backed and disarmed the soldiers. The military had to send in a contingent to rescue them.
The 1990 crisis was a false flag, studied by the PTB and used in the business plan for Boston. Canada held a conference in 2009 in Montreal on “Adapting to a New World Order”. As Sarah McLachlan sings: “You come out at night. That’s when the energy comes. And he dark side’s light. And the vampires roam. …you’re setting up your razor wire shrine!” Building a mystery

VIGILANTISME
BRON: Censored News
Vigilantes nemen, gerugsteund door vechtlust,
fanatisme en achterdocht, de wet in eigen handen.
Het vigilante gespuis wordt geholpen door de
mainstream media met propaganda.
Tijdens de Mohawk Oka crisis van 1990,
organiseerden Canada en Quebec de vigilanten tegen de Mohawks.
Op 28 augustus,1990 verliet een konvooi van 75
auto’s, geladen met moeders, kinderen en ouderen de Kahnawake gemeenschap van
de zuidkust van de st.Lawrence River doorheen Montreal.
Velen waren ziek en bejaard.
Zij hadden de waarschuwing gekregen dat het
Canadese leger een aanval zou uitvoeren op Kahnawake.
De Quebec politie dwong de auto’s 7 uur lang
op de brug te blijven op een van de heetste dagen van de zomer.
Ondertussen werd aan de overkant van de
Mercier brug een blanke massa georganiseerd.
Deze werden aangevoerd door Gilles Prouix,een
lokale populaire radio omroeper die opriep om de “wilden” (les sauvages) te doden.
Ambulances werden enkel doorgelaten nadat het
gespuis de patienten had
onderzocht.
Bij een jonge vrouw in barensweeën werd haar
baarmoeder onderzocht door de omstaanders .
Toen de auto’s in beweging kwamen
werden ze bekogeld met stenen
terwijl een Quebec agent in burger aanwijzingen gaf en toekeek.
Een oudere man werd gedood. Geen enkele
aanvaller werd aangeklaagd .
Vigilantisme is psychologische oorlogsvoering
ontworpen om de wil om te strijden te ondermijnen. Wij waren de “extremisten”
die onder controle gebracht moesten worden.
De kwestie waar het om ging was ons bezwaar
tegen de uitbreiding van een golfbaan over onze begraafgronden en ceremonie
site.....
.....
In 1990 werden er alle uren van de dag en nacht berichten rondgestuurd om de
hersenen te spoelen.
Leugens over de Mohawks en nationalisme werden
op de radiogolven uitgebraakt.
Hun doel en het publiek werd geranseld tot
overgave.
De Mohawks werden voorbereid op het bloedbad
dat nog moest komen.
Het leger landde op een eiland waarna ze deur
na deur de woningen binnenbraken.
Duizenden ongewapende Mohawks, jong en oud,
vrouwen en mannen, meisjes en jongens, liepen over de smalle brug of zwommen
naar het eiland.
Zij ontwapenden de soldaten. Het leger moest
hen ontzetten.
