Three Native American Tribes are doing business with corporations responsible for war crimes in Palestine:  Israel's Elbit Systems, and the U.S. Corporations of Raytheon Missiles, General Dynamics and Caterpillar

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, May 28, 2024

TUCSON -- Native American Tribes are partnered with corporations responsible for war crimes in Palestine. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe of Montana is in a partnership with Elbit Systems, an Israeli weapons producer. Salish and Kootenai own International Towers, and in partnership with Elbit, built spy towers, known as integrated fixed towers, on the Tohono O'odham Nation.

Caterpillar, being used for the destruction of Palestinian homes, has a facility located on the Tohono O'odham Nation's Tech Park in the San Xavier District near Tucson.

Raytheon Dine' Facility, is located on the Navajo Nation south of Farmington, New Mexico, and produces missile parts for Raytheon, among the top war profiteers in Palestine.

Raytheon, and International Towers, are tenants at the University of Arizona Tech Park in Tucson.

Ofelia Rivas, Tohono O'odham, lives in the western portion of the Tohono O'odham Nation, where the Salish and Kootenai tribal enterprise constructed the spy towers. Rivas describes the militarized partnership.

Censored News

Today the BBC, and the New York Times, are called out for their bias in news reporting, supporting Apartheid and war crimes. The endless wars, which benefit war manufacturers, of the U.S. and U.K. have resulted in endless wars, killing millions of innocent people -- women, children and elderly -- around the globe.

Today in the news, Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Harsam Zarlos told the BBC, "I refuse to answer the question because I refuse its premise."

Raytheon Missiles in Tucson is among the warmakers benefitting from U.S. government contracts, and manufacturing weapons for Israel. Raytheon formed a partnership with the Israeli defense company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

Elbit, G4S, Classic Air Charter, CoreCivic and GEO Group are among the corporations profiteering and abusing human rights of migrants and refugees on the U.S. southern border, new report reveals

By Brenda Norrell

Censored News

Elbit Systems is among 23 global companies listed as profiteers abusing the human rights of migrants and refugees around the world.

Elbit is currently constructing spy towers, integrated fixed towers, on the Tohono O'odham Nation, which allows the U.S. Border Patrol to stalk the most vulnerable O'odham, including women, children and elderly.

The Israeli defense contractor Elbit is protested globally because of its border security in Palestine.

The new report, "Financing Border Wars," details the push for border walls, drones and biometrics -- including iris scans and finger prints -- which violate the international human rights of migrants and refugees. The abuse includes tracking surveillance on phones and social media.

The border industry is directly linked to global arms sales, torture in prisons, and provides facial recognition from inside vehicles at the US Mexico border.

Reuters is providing ICE with information, the new report shows.

Australia, Europe and the United States are leading the global push to profiteer from the border surveillance and detainment of migrants and refugees.

'Financing Border Wars,' points out that divestment was an important strategy in ending Apartheid in South Africa, and is now making an impact toward ending reliance on fossil fuels and big oil.

Divestment could help halt the global human rights abuses by border profiteers, the report states.

Corporations profiteering from misery in Arizona

As previously reported by Censored News, G4S, based in the UK and Europe, operates the migrant detention buses on the Arizona border. G4S has been sued by inmates in London and Australia for abuse.

G4S staff has been employed in prisons in Palestine, Guantanamo, UK and Africa where inmates were victims of torture.

GEO Group operates private migrant prisons nationwide

In the new report, G4S and GEO Group are among the 23 corporations listed as border profiteers abusing human rights. Both are leading human rights abusers in detention and imprisonment, facing allegations of violence and abuse.


Core Civic, formerly Corrections Corporation of America, operates private for-profit prisons in the U.S. and is listed among the 23 profiteers.


Currently, the ICE contracted facility in Eloy, Arizona, has failed to provide COVID-19 safety, as the virus rampages through for-profit prisons, news reports reveal.
https://americanindependent.com/dhs-inspector-general-report-covid-safety-violations-ice-for-profit-prison-corecivic-immigration/



Wackenhut once employed security guards at Peabody Coal on Black Mesa. Then Wackenhut split into two companies for maximum profiteering from misery. Wackenhut Transportation gained the contract on the Arizona border to transport detained migrants. GEO Group now operates migrant prisons for profit nationwide. A second company, CoreCivic, which changed its name from Corrections Corporation of America, operates private migrant prisons for profit in Arizona. In Eloy, Arizona, the coronavirus has rampaged through the prison due to company failures. Both GEO and CoreCivic are listed in a new global report exposing 23 companies profiteering and violating the human rights of migrants and refugees. Read more at Censored News.

The report points out abuses by U.S. Border Patrol agents, who have killed migrants on the Arizona border, and poured out life saving water.

In Australia, migrants have been transported out of the country to Nauru and Papua New Guinea for processing.






Elbit's contracts, destruction and surveillance


The Israeli defense contractor Elbit is already operating spy towers on the Nogales, Arizona, border region, and tracking travelers with border tower surveillance.


Elbit's $145 million contract was granted by U.S. Homeland Security during the Obama administration in 2014 and then continued during the Trump administration.


The U.S. contract award was increased in 2019 to include the Tohono O'odham Nation and was celebrated in Haifa, Israel.

The Tohono O'odham Nation government approved the spy towers on its sovereign land. The towers, however, continue to be opposed by traditional O'odham.

The Gu-Vo District opposed the spy towers by resolution, stating the construction would destroy O'odham burial places and violates the O'odham way of life.

Classic Air is former CIA subcontactor

Classic Air Charter transports migrants for ICE. It is a former CIA subcontractor that provided rendition flights to destinations of U.S. torture.

Classic Air Charter, based in Florida, has been transporting migrants under U.S. contract from the Texas border; Mesa, Arizona and elsewhere.
https://documentedny.com/2018/07/13/former-cia-subcontractor-deports-immigrants-for-ice/

Currently, Classic Air Charter, under U.S. government contract, is arranging all deportation flights in the Americas -- including migrants and refugees who
are considered high risk and non-cooperative, according to news reports.
https://capitalandmain.com/classic-air-a-link-in-the-international-deportation-chain-forced-to-pay-back-wages-to-workers-0112

Migrants have been subjected to abuse and violence on these flights, the report states.




Facial recognition at US Mexico border


Among the abuses that the public has not been aware of is the vehicle facial recognition on the US Mexico border, carried out by cameras of the controversial Oak Ridge National Labs in Tennessee, the report reveals.

Oak Ridge is the top secret lab that began plutonium research in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project.


Reuters providing ICE with info
.


The report states:

A media multinational, Thomson Reuters is best known as the parent company of the press agency, Reuters. It is less well-known that its portfolio also includes legal and datacollection and analysis software and services.

Thomson Reuters has earned millions from contracts with CBP and especially ICE, in particular through its subsidiaries Legal West and Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS). Most of this comes from giving ICE access to databases with public and proprietary information, license-plate scanning data and real-time jail-booking data.

TRSS was contracted, for up to $3.4 million, to ‘help ICE monitor ‘possible threats’ against the agency’s officials’ ...

Reuters was exposed in an NBC investigation in 2018.

Divesting

The new report reveals that in Europe, financers have pulled out of financing for both Elbit and G4S, and dis-invested, because of human rights violations.

'Financing Border Wars' reports that the Norwegian Pension Fund, Danske Bank and the French investment firm AXA, have halted financing for Elbit.





In 'Financing Border Wars,' the Transnational Institute, TNI, describes the human rights abuses and their corporate funders.

The report also describes corporate border abusers in Ireland and Italy -- as well as Lockheed Martin weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and UAE.

The report states:

The Smart Borders sector encompasses the use of a broad range of (newer) technologies, including biometrics (such as fingerprints and iris-scans), AI and phone and social media tracking. The goal is to speed up processes for national citizens and other acceptable travellers and stop or deport unwanted migrants through the use of more sophisticated IT and biometric systems. Key corporations include large IT companies, such as IBM and Unisys, and multinational services company Accenture for whom migration is part of their extensive portfolio, as well as small firms, such as IDEMIA and Palantir Technologies, for whom migration-related work is central. The French public–private company Civipol, co-owned by the state and several large French arms companies, is another key player, selected to set up fingerprint databases of the whole population of Mali and Senegal, reports TNI.

The most prominent examples of direct human rights abuses come from the corporations involved in detention and deportation. Classic Air Charter, Cobham, CoreCivic, Eurasylum, G4S, GEO Group, Mitie and Serco all have faced allegations of violence and abuse by their staff towards migrants.

The report investigates five key sectors of the expanding industry: border security (including monitoring, surveillance, walls and fences), biometrics and smart borders, migrant detention, deportation, and audit and consultancy services. From these sectors, it profiles 23 corporations as significant actors: Accenture, Airbus, Booz Allen Hamilton, Classic Air Charter, Cobham, CoreCivic, Deloitte, Elbit, Eurasylum, G4S, GEO Group, IBM, IDEMIA, Leonardo, Lockheed Martin, Mitie, Palantir, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Serco, Sopra Steria, Thales, Thomson Reuters, Unisys.
The Vanguard Group owns shares in 15 of the 17 companies, including over 15% of the shares of CoreCivic and GEO Group that manage private prisons and detention facilities.

Other important investors are Blackrock, which is a major shareholder in 11 companies, Capital Research and Management (part of the Capital Group), with shares in arms giants Airbus and Lockheed Martin, and State Street Global Advisors (SsgA), which owns over 15% of Lockheed Martin shares and is also a major shareholder in six other companies.

Facebook

Facebook board member had contract with ICE to track migrants and their relationships, NBC news reported in 2018.

"Palantir, whose chairman, Peter Thiel, is one of nine members on the board of Facebook, took in more than $4.9 million from ICE on May 30, part of a $39 million contract that began in 2015. According to a government database search, the contract goes toward “operations and maintenance” of Falcon, Palantir’s proprietary intelligence database that tracks immigrants’ records and relationships."

Israel's Black Cube spies hired to suppress news articles, as Israel gains U.S. border contracts

Black Cube spies were hired to halt news stories, at the same time that Israeli companies are receiving U.S. border contracts -- including Elbit Systems' contract for spy towers on sacred land of the Tohono O'odham Nation -- and Trump's border wall prototype.

By Brenda Norrell
Censored News

Israeli intelligence 'Black Cube,' is tracking journalists and trying to halt news articles in the U.S., writes Julian Assange on Twitter today, with a link to The New Yorker magazine's new exposures.
It is important to those who live on the US Mexico border, including the Tohono O'odham Nation, who are now facing the Apartheid Israeli contractors hired to build the spy towers by Homeland Security during the Obama Administration.
Now, Trump wants an Israeli firm to build his border wall.
"An Israeli company, Elta North America, (a subsidiary of the Israel Aerospace Industry) was one of eight companies awarded a massive sum to produce a prototype for the wall that the U.S. intends to build along the U.S.-Mexico border," Telesur reports.
Israel's contracts from U.S. Homeland Security, at the United States southern border, including the spy towers on sovereign Tohono O'odham land, are one of the most censored articles in the U.S. by the media.The exposures of Israeli intelligence Black Cube spies posing as friends, and attempting to halt news stories, was exposed by Ronan Farrow in The New Yorker.
Harvey Weinstein set out to suppress allegations that he had sexually harassed or assaulted numerous women. He hired private security agencies to collect information on the women and the journalists trying to expose the allegations, The New Yorker reports.
"One of the investigators pretended to be a women’s-rights advocate and secretly recorded at least four meetings with McGowan. The same operative, using a different false identity and implying that she had an allegation against Weinstein, met twice with a journalist to find out which women were talking to the press."
Assange said today, "Weinstein hired ex-Mossad agents at Israeli intelligence company 'Black Cube' to infiltrate accusers & quash stories,"
Censored News continues to expose breaking news from the Tohono O'odham border, where U.S. contracts are being awarded to Israeli companies engaged in Apartheid in Palesine.

Israel’s Elbit Systems plans spy towers on sacred land at the border, where O'odham ancestors are buried.
Ofelia Rivas, O"odham, exposed Elbit Systems plans on Tohono O'odham land, and her home community's fight against the Israeli spy towers. Elbit is responsible for the genocidal security surrounding Palestine, and drones globally.
The Gu-Vo District opposed this proposal from the beginning, and the United States ruled it could care less.
Gu-Vo, in the western most district of the Tohono O'odham Nation, told the U.S., prior to the assessment, "The Gu-Vo District opposes these proposed tower sites to protect cultural sites on the holy mountain now called the Ajo Mountain Range. The mountain holds human remains of our people and also places of our cultural practices (medicine bundles) home and home of the ceremonial deer and bighorn sheep and mountain tortoises that are protected under the Endangered Species Act."
"The United States government military forces, the border patrol, have not been forthcoming with impact information, such as health effects and have deliberately misinformed the people regarding the immediate environmental impacts such as the roads they will build on the mountain and installation of electrical power lines to the sites as well as that these proposed tower sites will have a 25-year or longer impact on the mountain, the animal and plant life and the O'odham lives."
"The Gu-Vo District communities landscape have already been greatly impacted by numerous unauthorized roads and destruction of our mountains and hills of great significance to the O'odham way of life. Our future generations will face more restriction to live on our original lands as our rights as original Indigenous peoples continue to deteriorate."
"These U.S. proposed towers also are not on the border but in our communities and on the border of the Tohono O'odham Nation reiterating discrimination and deliberate attack on the O'odham," said Gu-Vo District.
Rivas, O'odham living on the border and founder of O'odham VOICE Against the Wall, describes the him'dag, way of life. "The O’odham way of life is based on the land that has held the remains of our ancestors since the creation of this world. The O’odham did not migrate from anywhere according to our oral history. Our creation tellings record our history and teach the O’odham principles of life. The survival of O’odham today is based in our him’dag."

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is accepting critical comments until May 16 on a project of vital concern to the Tohono O'odham Nation. Your support is welcome and may be significant.

The CBP currently proposes building 15 surveillance towers near the United States – Mexico border on the Tohono O'odham Nation. These towers would be built by Elbit Systems, an Israeli corporation responsible for apartheid security in Palestine.

Seven of these towers would be in the district of Gu-Vo (Big Pond), the westernmost district of the Tohono O'odham Nation. The Gu-Vo Governing Council said No to the proposed construction of these Integrated Fixed Towers (IFT) in the Gu-Vo District, respecting its members desire to preserve and protect Gu-Vo District sacred burial sites and ancient community sites, as well as its current communities and future generations.

Six of the proposed towers are in or near communities. Of the two that are adjacent to the United States/Mexico International border, one is on a sacred burial place and ancient village site and the other is in Ali Jegk (Little Clearing) community.

The other five are along the western boundary of the Tohono O'odham Nation and Organ Pipe National monument which is not along the International Boundary, as can be seen from the map in this article: http://www.bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2015/09/us-israeli-pact-targets-traditional.html.

We urge you to leave comments opposing the building of these IFTs at this website: http://www.cbp.gov/about/environmental-cultural-stewardship/nepa-documents/docs-review. (Click on “Draft Environmental Assessment for Integrated Fixed Towers on the Tohono O’odham Nation in the Ajo and Casa Grande Stations’ Areas of Responsibility, U.S. Border Patrol Tucson Sector, Arizona” for directions to properly register comments.)

There are four main points to make in your comments:

Respect the Gu-Vo District position of NO IFTs whatsoever.

Respect the Gu-Vo District's actions to protect and preserve sacred places, ceremonial places and burial place and ancient village places.

Respect the authority of Gu-Vo District as O'odham authority, voice of O'odham Communities and community members.

Respect the Gu-Vo District's efforts to protect future generations.​

Remember that the deadline is May 16, so please act quickly. UPDATE 5/20/16: the deadline has not been extended but comments should continue to be submitted.

Thank you!

The news in Indian country remains censored and distorted, as reporters stay home and plagiarize, and fail to show up to cover news stories. Censored are issues that conflict with the agenda of media owners and the US government.

We begin with this breaking news from Eagle Pass, Texas:
.

Eagle Pass, Texas: Native Groups Lead Action against Coal Mine

"Native American Groups gathered for a historic rally and march to protest the open-pit coal strip mine in Eagle Pass, Tex. The protesters called on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers  to rescind the mine’s permit, halt expansion and protect the land from further destruction.The project, owned by Dos Republicas Coal Partnership, mines lignite coal, which is transported by train from Maverick County across the border to be burned in a Mexican coal-fired power plant. The mine began operating several months ago, despite widespread local public opposition, and is harming the ancestral homelands of many Native groups and damaging sacred lands and more than 100 archaeological sites." http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2016/04/eagle-pass-native-groups-lead-action.html

In breaking news, the new Goldman Environmental Prizes reveal Newmont mining in Colorado beating unconscious an Indigenous grandmother protecting her land in Peru from gold and copper mining.
This is the same Newmont mining protested by Western Shoshone for mining and desecrating their sacred land.
Earlier, Wikileaks exposed the formation of a five country coalition to push mining in Peru, at the same time Indigenous were being beaten and killed defending their land from mining.
The US Ambassador reported directly to US Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, according to leaked cables.
Hillary's Ambassador and the Canadian Ambassador met with Newmont and other mining companies to orchestrate mining as Indigenous were dying.

Border Drones are Big Flop, audit says

By Brenda Norrell
Censored News
English and Dutch

TUCSON -- The border drones are a big flop, says a new audit. As homeless children sleep on the streets of America on freezing nights, the US is spending millions on worthless drones and spy towers that do not work. But that doesn't discourage the United States government from wasting more money, now billions, on drones and spy towers for the southern border which are worthless.

US spy tower on sovereign
Tohono O'odham land near Sells,
Arizona

After Homeland Security realized that the first spy towers on the Arizona border didn't work, what did they do? They funded another round of worthless spy towers. This time, the US gave the contract, not to a US company, but to Elbit Systems, the Israeli defense contractor responsible for the Apartheid security surrounding Palestine.

One stretch for worthless drones is the border south of Tucson. The drones are a common sight in the Tucson skies. They are the ones that look like fake planes. Meanwhile, the US is continuing to build surveillance towers, spy towers, on sovereign Tohono O'odham land. On the western side of the Tohono O'odham Nation, those US spy towers are pointed at the homes of traditional O'odham. The Israeli Apartheid company Elbit now has the contract.

Anyway, if you have the stomach for it, you can read below more about how much money the US is wasting on drones, as revealed in a new audit, and the two spy tower contracts. But don't worry, the war profiteers in Israel and the US are still making millions. Boeing made a billion on the first worthless spy tower contract.

Meanwhile, Israel's Apartheid security contractor Elbit is in San Antonio, Texas, working with the Brazilian Navy stationed there.

Tucson- De drones aan de VS grenzen zijn een grote flop, zegt een nieuwe audit.

Terwijl dakloze kinderen in de vrieskou op de straten moeten slapen, spendeert de VS miljoenen dollars aan waardeloze drones en spionnentorens.

Maar dat ontmoedigt de regering van de Verenigde Staten niet om nog meer geld, nu miljarden te verspillen aan waardeloze drones en spionnentorens voor de zuidelijke grens.

Wat deed Binnenlandse Veiligheid nadat zij zich realiseerden dat de eerste spionnentorens op de grens met Arizona niet werkten? Zij financierden een volgende tour van waardeloze spionnentorens. Dit keer ging het contract niet naar een Amerikaans bedrijf, maar naar Elbit Systems, het Israëlisch beveiligingsbedrijf dat verantwoordelijk is voor de beveiliging van de Apartheid rond Palestina.

De grens ten zuiden van Tucson bestaat uit één lijn van waardeloze drones.

Dagelijks de drones in de lucht te zien is al ‘doodgewoon’ boven het grensgebied van Tucson.

Het zijn die drones die eruitzien zoals speelgoedvliegtuigjes.

Ondertussen blijft de VS surveillance torens bouwen op het soevereine Tohono O’odham land.

Aan de westkant van de Tohono O’odham natie staan deze spionnentorens gericht op de huizen van de traditionele O’odham.
