Politicians and Cops Targeted the Sacred -- Now They Will Walk to Remember, and Protect

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Aug. 14, 2025

Deb Haaland's BIA and BLM were part of a joint terrorism task force that stalked Paiute and Shoshone as they prayed at the Paiute Massacre Site, Peehee Mu'huh, Thacker Pass. Haaland was head of the Interior Department during the years of secret surveillance. The government agencies and law enforcement met in Reno in 2022 and targeted Thacker Pass protectors, new documents reveal.

The following year, in 2023, members of the joint terrorism task force from the Humboldt County Sheriff's office joined with the company Lithium Americas of Canada, to destroy the peaceful OxSam camp, took away their Eagle Feathers, and threw their sacred items in a trash bag.

The surveillance was already underway.

In 2021, the surveillance intensified when Myron Dewey became involved, and a 'spin master' was brought in to discredit the Paiute and Shoshone peaceful protectors of the Paiute Massacre Site. The Humboldt County Sheriff said it could be "another Standing Rock." Dewey, journalist and drone pilot, was killed that year when a mining engineer hit him head-on near his home at Yomba, Nevada.

Haaland told AP she supported the mine, which is now digging into the Massacre Site in violation of all federal laws that protect Native sacred sites, the water and environment. Haaland called the lithium mine "clean energy."

Although most media failed to report it, Haaland was sued by the Hualapai for a lithium drilling permit to an Australian company to drill at their sacred water Ha' Kamwe in Arizona. A federal judge, Hopi, halted it.

Now, in August of 2025, join Hualapai, Paiute and Shoshone as they walk from Hualapai's sacred place to Peehee Mu'huh, Thacker Pass in Nevada, beginning August 26.

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 8, 2025

STANDING ROCK LAKOTA NATION, North Dakota -- In her latest podcast, Alleen Brown takes a boat ride out to Dakota Access Pipeline, and describes the leak that no one was supposed to know about -- except the court accidentally posted it online.

Alleen talks with Doug Crow Ghost, and Avis Red Bear about Dakota Access Pipeline spills, concern over the safety of their drinking water, and the secrecy that brought a jury award of more than $660 million to the pipeline, in the case of Energy Transfer v Greenpeace.

If you look at all the sealed documents online in the case, you'll see that the North Dakota District Court in Morton County, and North Dakota Supreme Court, really didn't want the truth to get out.

MNN. Stop redacting Canada’s past and current genocide policy. Redact is to remove words or information from a text before it is made available to the public. In other words. lying. The latest is Prime Minister Carney’s Bill C5, the “One Canadian Economy Act” of the colony of Canada to take indigenous land and resources without consulting us, the land owners and caregivers. We allowed them to live here by agreeing to follow the teiohateh Two Row and kaianerekowa Great Peace. They reneged on the agreement and so are now in breach of it.

Posted on August 2, 2025 by Kan1enkehaka

MNN. JULY 26, 2025. We don’t trust Canada. Prime Minister Carney’s Bill C5 is fraud. For us there is no freedom of speech in Canada. Our voices are deliberately not heard. Every person has a right to speak about the violations of their freedom of speech without all kinds of procedural rules or lack of funds being used to interfere with that right. At the end of a treaty on indigenous land transfer there is a section that specifies that only the government can buy the land. There is a reference to taxation as “property” tax. The government taxes their subjects for indigenous land they don’t own. If the property tax is not paid yearly, the government seizes the indigenous land along with any dwellings on it. All turtle island is tax free indian land. The government cannot collect taxes from an Indian. New Prime Minister of Canada Carney pushed his C5 bill through Parliament to fill the pockets of federal and provincial governments and trillionaire shysters on Wall Street.

U.N. Permanent Forum Concludes: Women's Rights and Destructive Mining among Priorities

Resounding Indigenous Women's Voices

The U.N. Permanent Forum: The Sterilization of Native American Women and Destructive Mining are Priorities in Final Report

A representative of Indigenous in Morocco said the world must hold the Moroccan government responsible for not restoring and rebuilding the schools and communities, following the devastating 2023 earthquake in Morocco. Indigenous Amazigh communities in the High Atlas Mountains continue to suffer, nearly 500,000 Amazigh continue without homes and dignity. She urged the release of Indigenous prisoners in Morocco, arrested for peaceful protest of Indigenous rights. On the final day of the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in April of 2025, Indigenous women delivered powerful statements, including global voices for midwives, and demands for justice for Native American women sterilized by the U.S. government. During the final day, the U.S. government representative criticized China for the genocide of ethnic minorities -- but he did not describe the U.S. government's own genocide.

Mohawk Nation News 'Murder Incorporated'

MURDER INCORPORATED
Posted on July 24, 2025 by Kan1enkehaka




MNN. July 24, 2025.

https://mohawknationnews.com/blog/2025/07/24/murder-incorporated/

The word “government” comes from the Greek ‘gobernado‘, which means ‘‘control” and from the Latin ‘mente‘ which means ‘the mind’. It means ‘controllers of the mind’. In a free society one should be able to say anything against the government. Government is an unnatural legal fiction that deprives all of nature and natural persons of their fundamental rights and freedoms. We are born sovereign and then the bankers impose a corporate fiction on us and we receive all capital letter identification. In legalese all capital letters mean a corporation. The kaianerekowa great peace teaches us that we are part of the whole natural system, we are the humans, that the power of the creative mind allows us to accomplish anything our mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. Then we were attacked in 1492 by the Europeans who tried to enslave us. We were not docile because we were born free. Then they tried to murder us all thinking there would be no consequences. When one deceives life balances out the deception. These invaders installed a political system controlled by violence, intimidation and death. The official “final solution to the Indian problem” to exterminate us started on October 25, 1924 with the Indian Advancement Act. The policy was to create reservations as POW camps for the ‘Indians‘ with the army now the Department of Indian Affairs standing at the gate checking each as we came and went. A blood quantum system was created whereby only the Canadian government decides who is an Indian or not. The Admiralty Laws are the only laws of ‘Canada’. Only indigenous natural ways are the laws of turtle island.

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.

It's called "data scraping" and the new AI search chats have scraped all your public posts, comments and photos on social media, and dumped them in their money-making machines. Twitter/X's Grok, an AI search, confirms that it is using copy-righted news articles. Meanwhile, authors are in court, suing over the theft of their online books. There are hundreds of major lawsuits. And the AI, artificial intelligence, data centers are guzzling water and electricity, even in desert regions, and making the water in rivers too hot for the salmon. AI is not intelligence it is theft.

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.
