Interior Sec. Haaland Speaks on Protecting the Earth at the Democratic National Convention, Apparently Forgetting that She is Destroying It

Genocide takes me many forms: Genocide in boarding schools; the production of weapons for genocide in Palestine; and the genocide of poisoning and destroying the Sacred Ceremonial Places, where the prayers and songs keep the people alive. -- Censored News

Interior Sec. Deb Haaland spoke about protecting the planet at the Democratic National Convention -- apparently forgetting her support for lithium mining into the Paiute Massacre Site Peehee Mu'huh in Nevada, and the fact that she is being sued by three Native American Tribes in Arizona for destroying the sacred.

“Let me go back to a lesson I learned in the deserts of the Southwest. We all have a role in protecting our earth for future generations," Haaland, Laguna Pueblo, told the DNC on Thursday.

While Paiute Shoshone Myron Dewey livestreamed from the bombing range of his childhood homeland in Yomba, in the Nevada desert on Saturday, September 25 -- the day before he died in a car collision on Sunday -- people around the world were reading of another exposure of the military in the Nevada desert.

It was the fact that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was targeted for kidnapping, and possibly assassination, by the CIA. Wikileaks exposed the fact that drone pilots at Creech Airforce Base in the Nevada desert had their fingers on the kill trigger, and were assassinating people around the world, without trial or jury, including children and news reporters, in reckless assassinations based on failed military intelligence.

Meanwhile, Myron was exposing the destruction from the Navy's bombing range in his homeland. In the ancestral land of the Paiute and Shoshone, in what is today known as Nevada, there are the scars, the poisons, the death trail, of the Nuclear Test Site, widespread radiation and cancer, and the reckless bombing practices and military games destroying sacred places.
