Minneapolis AIM spied on via Facebook by Mall of America

Censored News

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Intercept exposes how the Mall of America in Minneapolis spied on the AIM Interpretive Center, Black Lives Matter, Idle No More and others using fake Facebook profiles in a scheme known as 'catfishing.' As a result, arrests resulted from peaceful gatherings at the Mall.

The fake Facebook account “liked” Facebook groups associated with Ferguson activists, the American Indian Movement Interpretive Center, Occupy Minneapolis, SumOfUs, the SEIU Minnesota State Council, and Communities United Against Police Brutality, among others, The Intercept reports.

Jim Lukaszewski, a crisis communications expert at Risdall Public Relations, profiled efforts by mall security to carefully track political protesters. In a case study posted on the Risdall website titled “Fulminating Flash mobs,” Lukaszewski explains how mall security responded to a flash mob dance by Idle No More, a Native American rights group. “Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus were being aggressively monitored using Topsy, Monitor, and Kurrently,” the case study claims, noting that arrest kits were prepared in an area “hidden from public view to avoid antagonizing the crowd.”

Lakota warriors and allies stand in unison against police tonight, Thursday night, Feb. 28, 2013. Oglala President Bryan Brewer, still in a wheelchair after his accident, was present to support the action against the liquor profiteers at the border of Lakota land.
President Brewer vowed to shut down liquor stores in the bordertown. Read his statement:

An Idle No More style Round Dance was held during the gathering to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Wounded Knee, "Liberation Day!"
As usual, police arrived in force to protect the abusive business practices of the bar owners in White Clay, Nebraska, at the border of Pine Ridge, South Dakota.

Jerry Feaster said, "Remember these cops protect the right of the bar owners to sell alcohol not to protect the members of the community."

"This is Sheridan County Sheriff Terry Robbins (on left.) Sheriff Robbins was accused of being drunk by the Lakota warriors and relatives while performing a round dance on the north side of White Clay, Nebraska. Sheriff Robbins was on duty, operating a state vehicle, and carrying a firearm. Robbins was given a breathalyzer by his own state trooper in front of all community members present at the direct action protest. Robbins passed the breath test, but in my opinion, it was botched."
Protesters said videos posted reveal Sheriff Robbins was slurring his speech.

Our Original Seven Walkers on the Journey of Nishiyuu, when they left our community, said they would awake up the “Sleeping Giants” along the way, which means many things to us (i.e. spirit of Creation, spirit of our Ancestors, the Legends, their stories, their songs, their guidance, etc.), people who can made a difference in the world, and so on. For the JOURNEY OF NISHIYUU to have a purpose and meaning, we must go beyond just following it. We must realize that it is also our journey, a personal journey within (from the mind to the heart - the seat of the soul, as they say). To walk among those who can make a difference in the world such as our own Nishiyuu Warriors, we must wake up the Sleeping Giants (Courage, Honesty, Humility, Compassion, Respect, Sharing, Wisdom and other virtues) within each one of us.

How can we do this?

Getting ready to welcome the walkers!

I suggest that we start with something like this: Take “Courage”, for example, all throughout the day, think about what it means to you and identify the opposite of this virtue (i.e. discourage, dishearten, depress, disappoint, etc.) and how these have played into our own lives. Tomorrow we can meditate on “Honesty”, the day after “Humility” and so on. This is one way of how knowledge and wisdom grows within and gives us the courage to face life's challenges and live out our own true purpose, as instrument of the Great Spirit.

When I was young, I was taught to recognize these virtues (and their opposites) in storytelling; in the words, actions and deeds of others; and more importantly, in my own.
"Don't let Grandfather Sun catch you sleeping when he rises in the East because he won't be happy!", is a teaching that's so ingrained in my soul that, today, even at my age, I still feel guilty when I wake up past sunrise. Mastering these teachings can truly makes a difference!

So, my good friends, let’s all try this meditation exercise.

LET’S WAKE UP THE SLEEPING GIANTS within all of us and help carry out the Vision, Mission and Purpose of the JOURNEY OF NISHIYUU!!!

Aho! All my Relations!
