Jorge;

I have reviewed the story put together by Wab Kinew on Elsipogtog.The link you sent me is as follows

I am sorry to say that I view the story as told by Wab Kinew as lacking focus and context. I understand that in order to be an objective reporter Wab is restrained from telling the truth in a manner that we who as hard core activists can. Al Jazeera America must be seen as objective in order to continue to have access to North American markets. It is pretty clear that Al Jazeera has to be careful when it is held hostage to Canadian Broadcast system rules and regulation.

In a few sentences, the issue is about oil, the need of Americans to get foreign oil. Shale gas and fracking is about Americans taking what they need from other countries. 

Mi'kmaq Warriors denied all rights in jail, two beaten

Nineteen-year-old David Mazerolle of the Mi'kmaq Warrior Society describes how Mi'kmaqs were denied all their rights in jail and placed in solitary confinement after police brutally attacked the anti-oil and gas drilling camp in Elsipogtog, New Brunswick.

A second Mi'kmaq Warrior, Mi'kmaq Warrior Chief Jason Augustine, said he was repeatedly kicked in the head by police while down and diagnosed with a concussion.

“I was kicked in the head three times when I was taken down,” Augustine told APTN. “I wasn’t resisting arrest, I had my hands behind my back, and this one RCMP started bashing my head in.”

David Mazerolle describes the treatment in the Moncton jail in this video. "I was one of the six that got left in there."

"They left us in there with no blanket, no bed."

"After we got split up and put in solitary confinement, my buddy Aaron, as he was being transferred, got beat up while he was in handcuffs."

"They said we could talk to our lawyers, but none of us got to talk to our lawyers."

"We were just constantly in that hole."

The Mi'kmaq Warriors were denied toilet paper and toothpaste, and access to the phone and attorneys.

RCMP and snipers in Oct. 17 raid on Mi'kmaq camp.

David appealed for help for the four Warriors who remain in jail. "They are not allowed to call out."

"Help the Warriors that are still in there because they are not being treated right."

The Canadian police, RCMP, and heavily armed snipers with attack dogs stormed the peaceful anti-fracking camp at Elsipogtog on Oct. 17, 2013. Mi'kmaq women and elderly were abused and pepper-sprayed. At least two Mi'kmaqs were shot with rubber bullets. Fourteen people were arrested.

Mi'kmaq were defending their land from Southwestern Energy of Houston, which has targeted their land for fracking. Southwestern Energy has already been sued in Pennsylvania and Arkansas for fracking and poisoning the drinking water with carcinogens which caused cancer.

Update from APTN: Second Mi'kmaq Warrior beaten after arrest: “I was kicked in the head three times when I was taken down,” said Augustine. “I wasn’t resisting arrest, I had my hands behind my back, and this one RCMP started bashing my head in.”

Fracking the Mi'kmaq: Guess who owns Southwestern Energy

Fracking the Mi'kmaq

Police assault on Mi'kmaq anti-fracking camp, Elsipogtog, New Brunswick Thursday

Investors in Southwestern Energy urged to dump stocks!

Southwestern Energy, targeting the Mi'kmaq, has already been sued in Arkansas and Pennsylvania, where fracking resulted in cancers from carcinogens in drinking water. The Ottawa Citizen didn't do its homework last week and promoted Southwestern Energy's fracking, calling it "safe." Taking the typical white privilege stance -- and ignoring Southwestern Energy's cancer alleys -- the Ottawa Citizen promoted fracking in poor and First Nations communities. 

A look at Southwestern Energy's board of directors reveals they have a long history of work exploiting energy resources around the world in Indigenous areas, from Southern Africa to Australia and New Guinea. And this exploitation of Indigenous Peoples means big money for oil and gas executives.

The investors in Southwestern Energy are being urged to divest in this Houston, Texas, corporation that is now targeting the land of Elsipogtog, resulting in Canadian police attacking Mi'kmaq First Nation at a a peaceful anti-fracking camp. The heavily armed SWAT team, with police dogs and pepper spray, attacked women and elderly on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2013. 

Some Mi'kmaq from the camp remained in jail on Oct. 27, awaiting bail hearings. Tyson Peters, Mik'maq, risks losing his leg after being shot with a rubber bullet during the predawn raid by Canadian police, RCMP, Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The RCMP denied they had shot rubber bullets. 

Corporations are urged to dump stocks -- and disassociate from those investing in Southwestern Energy and their partners -- including Phillip Morris, Verizon, ATT, Century Link, Comcast (Capital Research Global); Facebook, Google, Nike, Starbucks (Sands Capitol Management) Exxon, Chevron, Walmart, McDonalds, Walt Disney, Apple, Microsoft, (Vanguard) Goldman Sachs, more. 

Southwestern Energy has already been sued in Arkansas and Pennsylvania for fracking and causing cancer due to poisoning the drinking water.

In Pennsylvania, 13 families sued Southwestern Energy. "The mining has resulted in chemicals loaded with heavy metals and carcinogens infiltrating the ground water and residents’ well water, the lawsuit states." http://www.aboutlawsuits.com/pennsylvania-lawsuit-hydro-fracking-water-contamination-12848/#sthash.FgaShBP7.dpuf

The Ottawa Citizen didn't do its homework on the cancer alleys resulting from Southwestern Energy's fracking and took the editorial stance last week of promoting fracking as safe. Taking the typical position of white privilege, the Ottawa Citizen rallied behind fracking in poor and First Nation communities.

Southwestern's board of directors, selected in May, reveal that Southwestern Energy is composed of those who have a long history of exploiting Indigenous Peoples and their lands around the world. The board of directors include John D. Gass, former vice president of Chevron, who was responsible for exploration in Angola and Southern Africa, and Chevron upstream activities in Australian and Papua New Guinea. 

Destruction of the land and poisoning of the water means dollars for those behind it. Board member Greg Kerley made 1.2 million -- which includes a $105,000 bonus -- in his position at Southwestern Energy last year. http://www1.salary.com/Greg-D-Kerley-Salary-Bonus-Stock-Options-for-SOUTHWESTERN-ENERGY-CO.html
The board is listed here: http://biz.yahoo.com/e/130524/swn8-k.html

Edward C. Johnson, of Fidelity Management and Research Company in Boston, Mass., is identified as principal owner of stocks in Southwestern Energy, in this document: http://apps.shareholder.com/sec/viewerContent.aspx?companyid=SWN&docid=5733524

The Heinz Endowment was thrown into controversy over its support of fracking. It has investments in Southwest Energy. http://www.nonprofitquarterly.org/policysocial-context/23080-fracking-down-the-house-heinz-endowment-president-resigns.html

Corporations and investors, are urged to be the first to divest in stocks of Southwestern Energy and disassociate with its investors. Let us hear from you at Censored News, and we'll place your name on our honor roll as a corporation who stands with Indigenous Peoples to protect the land, water and air and uphold the right to protection of Indigenous women and elderly.

Censored News will honor you as the first corporations to divest and stand firm with Indigenous women against police violence, and the first to stand firm with Indigenous Peoples against fracking and violations of Indigenous rights.

Terrance Nelson 'Wars will be fought over water' Elsipogtog Momentum

"Wars will be fought over water"

"The Chief of Elsipogtog First Nation has asked for calm and a cooling off period of 30 days. This is a mistake. In 30 days, Elsipogtog will have lost the momentum. In 30 days, it will have lost the attention of the world." -- Terrance Nelson

Good Morning Brenda:

Twenty-three years ago during the OKA Crisis, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, (Conservative Government operating during the summer while parliament was recessed) used 4000 Canadian Soldiers to confront the Mohawks and his lead statement consistently spoke of the rule of law. What the current Prime Minister of Canada Steven Harper is doing is the same thing and the Canadian media is playing up the burning RCMP cars in an effort to get Canadians on side with the RCMP and the "rule of law". Problem is that was 23 years ago, back then, they didn't have Censored News and they didn't have the Internet messaging. There is worldwide support for the Mi'Kmaq and the issue is water, the right of people to defend their water and their future generations who will need that water long after the shale gas has burned away.
