Law Enforcement's Secret Surveillance of Defenders at Thacker Pass, Peehee Mu'huh, Exposed by ProPublica and Nevada Independent 

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, July 25, 2025

THACKER PASS, Nevada -- While descendants of the survivors of the massacre of Paiutes at Peehee Mu'huh struggled to protect the sacred remains from the digging of a lithium mine, owned by Lithium Americas on Canada -- law enforcement had a spider web of surveillance.

The law enforcement surveillance of defenders of Peehee Mu'huh, Thacker Pass, began before Myron Dewey was killed, and continued afterwards.

ProPublica and Nevada Independent expose the spy trail of law enforcement and private security of Lithium Americas, which included 10 agencies.

An April 2021 meeting -- of the sheriff and a spinmaster linking the resistance to Standing Rock -- was six months before Myron Dewey was killed when a truck driven by a mining engineer hit Myron head on.

Myron was well known for his reporting and drone coverage at Standing Rock 2016--2017. Myron was livestreaming the day before he was killed near his home in Yomba, Nevada, Sept. 26, 2021. Myron was fighting the U.S. military expansion of the bombing range on his Paiute homeland. The Nevada legislators were pushing hard for the expansion, which Biden signed into law. Myron had also been delivering supplies to Thacker Pass in the months before he was killed.

“Under the Microscope”: Activists Opposing a Nevada Lithium Mine Were Surveilled for Years, Records Show, reports ProPublica and Nevada Independent.

"Officers and agents have tracked protesters’ social media, while the mining company has gathered video from a camera above a campsite protesters set up on public land near the mine. An FBI joint terrorism task force in Reno met in June 2022 'with a focus on Thacker Pass,' the records also show, and Lithium Americas — the main company behind the mine — hired a former FBI agent specializing in counterterrorism to develop its security plan."

Law enforcement engaged in a secret spy operation of People of Red Mountain, and others, defending Thacker Pass. The local sheriff feared it would be another Standing Rock. ProPublica and Nevada Independent expose the cops spy trail.

"In April 2021, Allen, then the local sheriff, and his staff met with Mark Pfeifle, president and CEO of the communications firm Off the Record Strategies, to discuss “lessons learned” from the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. Pfeifle suggested using a fake news crew and mocking up wanted posters for activists.

"Raymond Mey, who joined Lithium Americas’ security team for a time after a career with the FBI, wrote to law enforcement agencies in July 2022.

"Mey also researched protesters’ activities, sharing his findings with law enforcement. In an April 2021 update, for example, he provided an aerial photograph of the protesters’ campsite." The records indicate that the FBI was open to him attending its joint terrorism task force."

AI, Artificial Intelligence, isn't intelligence at all -- it's stealing

AI, Artificial Intelligence, isn't intelligence at all -- it's stealing

Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X have taken all public posts, photos and comments and put it in their AI machines to be mixed and thrown back up in any way they choose. Most users were unaware of this. It is a violation of the public trust.

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Updated July 23, 2025

For the billionaires, and the plagiarizers, stealing seems the easiest way to go.

Whether its lithium you're after for your sinking electric car business, or you're a stay-at-home 'reporter' stealing other peoples hard work, or engulfed in the hype of the new AI search engines, stealing seems to be the easy way.

"Everyone is doing it," says one editor, as he grabs others hard work to rewrite it.

After Exposing the Navajo Nation's Selling Aboriginal Land Claims, John Redhouse was Censored by Navajo Times

After exposing the Navajo Nation's selling its aboriginal land claims, John Redhouse was censored by Navajo Times

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, July 15, 2025

WINDOW ROCK, Arizona -- When John Redhouse, Dine', wrote about the Navajo Nation extinguishing Navajo aboriginal land claims for 86 cents an acre -- it ended his time as a columnist at Navajo Times. It was a bold move to expose it in 1981.

Dr. Jennifer Denetdale, Dine' historian, said she discovered Redhouse's column during her research for her PhD. Her comments came as Redhouse launched his new book on bordertown racism and the torture murder of Navajos in Farmington, New Mexico.

John Redhouse's Book Launch Details 'The Hate Crime Capital of the West'

Diné John Redhouse: Invasion and Genocide: The War on Native People is Ongoing

John Redhouse, Navajo and Ute, launched his new book on bordertown racism, and described how the history of the Four Corners region, with massive coal-fired power plants and oil and gas fields, ultimately led to Farmington, New Mexico, becoming the Hate Crime Capitol of the World. During book launches in Pyramid Lake, Nevada, Albuquerque and Farmington, Redhouse describes the organized resistance to the racism and torture murders of Navajos by white teenagers in the bordertown.

Cherokee Chief Hoskin Statement: Dangerous Hate Speech Targets Native Professor on Twitter/X

By Chuck Hoskin, Jr, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation
Tahlequah, Cherokee Nation, July 6, 2025

Ann Coulter’s post this evening on X that “we didn’t kill enough Indians,” is beyond abhorrent. It is dangerous hate speech designed to inflict damage on a marginalized community and designed arose support in the deepest darkest gutters of social media. Although it is tempting to decline to dignify her regressive attack on Native Americans, I cannot and will not. This is no time for timidity.

The Big 'Man Camp' of the Bordertown of Farmington

Whether it is bordertown racism, or genocide, the media is largely responsible, as it neglects, side-steps, and manipulates the truth, by both failing to show up to cover the news, and bending to the powers that control the media.

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, June 23, 2025

John Redhouse's new book documents the racism in the bordertown of Farmington, N.M., and the torture murders of Navajos by white teenagers in the 1970s. The intrinsic mix of racism continued in the decades that followed, and involved judges and their families, violence by police officers, and the heavy flow of oil, gas and coal mine workers -- producing a vile mix of one of the first huge man camps in the energy industry.

It didn't end there.

Under the banner of green, the Navajo Transitional Energy Company, a tribal enterprise, bought coal mines in Wyoming and Montana without consent from the tribal government, mines which continue to operate, and recently planned to dig into Hualapai's Ceremonial Big Spring for lithium, before a federal judge halted it.

The media tiptoes around Farmington as a base for exploitation, as it did when it failed to publish the facts of former Interior Sec. Deb Haaland's announcement here.

Flying under the banner of "green," Haaland announced that the atomic bomb industry would lead the so-called "energy transition." Haaland failed to point out that Los Alamos National Labs has already poisoned the air, water and land in the heart of the Pueblos in northern New Mexico, her mother's homeland. Another fact was missing: There is no safe way to store nuclear waste.

Haaland's announcement came with the new push for more nuclear energy, and transport and dumping of nuclear waste in Indian country. The Four Corners is now a new target for dumping and abuse, as radioactive trucks now cross the Navajo Navajo, Hopi Nation and region, and nuclear dumping continues in the White Mesa Ute community in Utah.

Now the Pinyon Plain mine is digging up uranium in the Grand Canyon and it  threatens the Havasupai aquifer. Radioactive dust spews on medicine plants and the world's tourists in the Grand Canyon.

Whether it is racism in the big man camp of Farmington, or genocide, the U.S. media is largely responsible for failing to report the truth.

The Nuremberg Trials reveal the role and responsibility of the media.

During the Nuremberg Tribunal, newspaper publisher Julius Streicher was found guilty of crimes against humanity for his role in inciting hatred and violence through his publications, which the Tribunal found contributed to the horrors of the Holocaust. His sustained and hateful rhetoric was deemed to have made such atrocities possible. He was sentenced to death and executed by hanging on October 16, 1946.
