At Dinner With Hollywood's Elite, President Obama Failed Standing Rock Water Protectors and Cheyenne River Chairman Harold Frazier

Through the years, the details of the lavish dinner that Obama attended have leaked out. It was the day that Obama was at an expensive fundraiser dinner with Hollywood's elite -- and ignored Cheyenne River Harold Frazier's plea for help.

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Dec. 26, 2025

There was very little information made public at the time. During President Obama's private dinner with Hollywood's elite, Cheyenne River Chairman Harold Frazier asked Obama to intervene and prevent Standing Rock water protectors from being shot with rubber bullets, beaten, strip-searched and jailed in October of 2016.

Obama did not respond to Chairman's Frazier's plea. Obama failed to intervene and refused to stop the police violence. Two days later, law enforcement attacked peaceful water protectors in prayer with tear gas, tasers, and rubber bullets and beat them with batons.

The New York Times is quick to publish a story on the latest ruling on the Dakota Access Pipeline, claiming it is a critical energy need -- but failed to report on the excessive force lawsuits filed against law enforcement by Marcus Mitchell and Sophia Wilansky. Both were critically injured at Standing Rock defending the water from the pipeline. Their cases were heard by the federal appeals court this week.

The New York Times is now known around the world for its failed reporting and bias which enabled the genocide in Palestine.

Federal Appeals Court Heard Case of Marcus Mitchell, Navajo, Today Shot in the Eye at Standing Rock

Article by Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Dec. 18, 2025

ST. PAUL, Minnesota -- A federal appeals court heard the excessive force case filed by Marcus Mitchell, Dine'/Navajo, today. Marcus was shot and blinded in his left eye, at Backwater Bridge at Standing Rock, while protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline construction in 2017.

Mitchell's attorney Devi Rao argued that Mitchell was targeted with excessive force by officers and was not posing a threat. Rao said officers began firing without a warning. Mitchell was standing still and was not committing serious crimes when he was fired on.

Attorney Rao told the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals that Mitchell continues to suffer after being shot by officers firing 12-gauge shotguns filled with lead-filled bean bags.

"Mr. Mitchell is blind in his left eye. His senses of hearing and smell are irreparably damaged, and he has chronic and debilitating pain on the left side of his face despite many medical procedures," said Rao, an attorney with MacArthur Justice Center.

Listen: Today Federal Appeals Court Hears the Excessive Force by Law Enforcement at Standing Rock

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Dec. 16, 202

ST. PAUL, Minnesota -- The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals heard the case of Sophia Wilansky today in St. Paul, Minnesota. Wilansky's left arm was blown apart by an explosive fired by law enforcement at Backwater Bridge at Standing Rock on the night of Nov. 20, 2016. The MacArthur Justice Center filed the civil rights lawsuit, which names the law enforcement who fired at Wilansky, and those who gave the orders. 

Wilansky's attorney argued today whether she was fired on while obeying orders and dispersing. The argument focused on whether she was struck when she stopped to pick up a piece of plywood as a shield, or whether she was fired on before she stopped. Wilansky's attorney said law enforcement rapid-fired on her while she was running away. She was struck by a flash bang type explosive fired from a shotgun. Her attorney said law enforcement laughed at her after she was struck.

'The Serpents are Trying to Return, says Kahentinetha Speaking on the Mohawk Peacemaker's Way

'The Serpents are Trying to Return, says Kahentinetha Speaking on the Mohawk Peacemaker's Way

by Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Nov. 30, 2025

MONTREAL -- 'The serpents are trying to return," said Kahnetinetha, Mohawk. The search continues for their children who were murdered in residential schools and victims of the torture experiments at McGill University's hospital.

While the slick-talking politicians are among the serpents, the Peacemaker's Way of the Great Peace shows the way to Peace.

Speaking to law students at McGill University about the failing governments in the west, the collapsing economies and increased militarization, Kahentinetha points out, "The masks are coming off."

Speaking about artificial intelligence, she said, "They want to replace us with sub-humans."

There is healing through ceremonies, she said, and speaks on the effects of fear.

"We are the oldest living democracy on the planet."

"We ask for you to stand with us," she said, of the protection and caring for Mother Earth.

"We have been victims of genocide, but we are still here."

The Mohawk Mothers and supporters on the panel describe the search for graves of Native children who were victims of the U.S. CIA's MK-Ultra torture and drug experiments at McGill University's hospital.

"We want the Palestinian people to know that we stand with them." -- Leonard Peltier

ALCATRAZ ISLAND -- Leonard Peltier told the gathering at Alcatraz today that it is time to stop the killing of babies in Palestine. Peltier, speaking in a recorded statement from his home, said he was denied a pass to attend the Commemoration of the Occupation of Alcatraz today.

Calling for an end to the killing in Palestine, he said, "This is the same thing they did to us."

Peltier said women, children, babies, and unborn babies are being killed. "Everyday they are killing them, they are murdering them."

"We have to stand up and scream," he said, with the reminder that it was Biden who started this.

TURTLE MOUNTAIN CHIPPEWA NATION -- Speaking on the National Day of Mourning known as "Thanksgiving," freed political prisoner Leonard Peltier said Native people want the massacres of their people to be known.

Peltier said it is already happening again, as can be seen in the deaths of children in Palestine and the Ukraine and what they are trying to do in Iran.

"They're killing thousands and thousands of babies and young children and destroying homes.  And this is the same thing they did to us. This is why we got a day of mourning," Peltier said from his home on the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Nation.

"We've got to fight to expose these atrocities, it is not over. It's not over for us or it's not over for the rest of the world -- because once they get done with Iran and Palestine and Ukraine, they're going to move to another area."

"They want to be the super race. They want to control the whole world. And we can't let them do that. We won't let them do that," Peltier said in a video address to the National Day of Mourning.

In a separate written statement to the Day of Mourning, Peltier said, "Every day has been a Day of Mourning for a few centuries now."

"Every day has also been a victory. Every one of us is a battle that has been won."

"Our ancestors have survived the slaughter of those who sought to end us. The Trail of Tears. The Wounded Knee Massacre. The endless brutal attacks. The corrupt Washington policy meant to erase us."

Thanksgiving – Discourse Concerning Western Planting

By Steve Melendez, Paiute, American Indian Genocide Museum

Censored News, Nov. 27, 2025

The English divide and conquer plan for America was written in 1578, twenty nine years before the founding of Jamestown in 1607. This was also long before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth in 1620 and survived the winter with the help of Chief Massasoit and the Wampanoag Indians. Chief Massasoit had a son named, Metacom whose death best illustrates the guile behind the first Thanksgiving and the one celebrated 55 years later on Thursday, August 17, 1676. This is the one where Metacom’s head was brought to the Plymouth Colony entrance and displayed on a pole for over twenty years.

Mato White Plume said, "A lasting impression this film left was the shared themes of systemic confinement, and the resistance against it. Seeing these two histories laid side by side like that, it clicks. It makes the regimes of control and displacement undeniable. It was for sure heavy, but the kind of heavy that fuels the flame for liberation."

"The most powerful was witnessing the raw acts of resistance," said Mato White Plume, Organizer for Moccasins On The Move.

Now, the radioactive uranium haul trucks travel from the Havasupai's ancestral land in the Grand Canyon, from the Pinyon Plain uranium mine to the White Mesa mill, and endanger everyone on the haul route in Flagstaff and the Navajo and Hopi Nations. The deadly trucks are covered only with tarps.

Honoring the True History of the Occupation of Alcatraz

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Nov. 19, 2025

Today, we are honoring the true history of the Occupation of Alcatraz. The tipi was brought here by Robert Free of Seattle, during the early days of the Occupation in 1969.

"The tipi was put up early during the Occupation of Alcatraz Island. It remained there until the U.S. government Marshals and the FBI removed everyone 19 months later," Robert told Censored News in an interview in 2019.

"It was a place most all visitors came to rest and enjoy. It had a sweat lodge, used as needed."

Remembering those times that are now a part of history, he said, "It was the only place on the island where prisoners were allowed to grow flowers and gardens, next to a cliff with seals at the bottom."
