Mohawk Nation News: Pimp 'Canada'



PIMP “CANADA”




MNN. May 9, 2013. A beautiful Indigenous 15 year old girl did not realize for a long time she was being followed by a 60-year old man. One day she realized he was frequently on the same buses and coffee shops watching her. She contacted her mother, took a picture and reported him to the police. They could do nothing unless he said something or snatched her.
Many of the young women who are bought and sold in Canada are Indigenous, many between the ages of 10 to 17. Traffickers make $300,000 a year or more for each girl they sexually exploit. trafficking
Canada designed the child welfare, foster care and detention centers system, to create the international sex trade.  
The church and government-run residential school death camps started the child sex trade. The criminal justice system never charges or convicts the corporation of Canada or the churches for perpetrating this program of kidnapping, rape, murder and community breakdown. Corporate media promotes the image of sexually promiscuous children. 
PM Harper: "Ask me in question period so I can't be charged with living off the avails!"
PM Harper: “Ask me in question period so I can’t be charged with living off the avails!”
The policy is that an Indigenous girl with no bank account and no contacts with her family or community is a criminal, not a victim. Indigenous girls are easily moved by traffickers over the US-Canada border to disappear out of their jurisdiction.
Brainwashed by Canada, our girls are demonized to subject them to gross physical and psychological violence. We are charged when we react to this abuse. Recruiters don’t even have to use brute force. The kids are conditioned to want to please someone, crave validation and acceptance. 
The government designed a process to remove us from our communities and families and place us in care. When we object to abuse, we are placed in detention centers. There the recruiters find us and take us into the sex trade. 
In Winnipeg 70% of sexual exploitation of our youth and 50% of adult workers are Indigenous. The high rate of apprehensions of our children into the child welfare and then criminal justice system is state strategy. We end up in welfare fraud, prostitution, drug trafficking or almost any means to survive. 
Government puts health, education and family services in large urban centers where our kids have to go for services. They can’t get jobs or education and can be recruited there. Police don’t pay attention to runaways 14 years old and over. Recruiters even go to schools, which don’t protect our kids at all.

Canada’s role in the creation and propagation of the international child sexual assault and kidnapping racket is becoming more clear to the rest of the world. One of Harper’s favorite songs in high school was “Bobby Brown” by Frank Zappa, who sang: “Oh, God, I am the American dream. I do not think I’m too extreme. And I’m a handsome son of a bitch. I’m going to get a good job and be real rich.”

Mohawk Nation News 'Sell-out Syndrome'


SELL-OUT SYNDROME




MNN. May 9, 2013. An Indigenous communal society is made up of humans with familial ties. Each is free, equal and has a voice. All work together to maintain the survival of the extended family. Some are good hunters, or woodsmen, or fishermen or medicine people or tradesmen. Some plant and maintain the agriculture. Some may not be able to contribute. They still have a right to an equal share of the proceeds provided by our mother earth.

Those who take more than their share and hide it or flaunt it violate the people. Someone with a secret stash often does not do their share. They become lazy, dulling their survival instincts. Their insensitivity might endanger the rest so they are banished. In the past it was a death sentence as they could not survive alone. mole

The Ongwehonwe are equal to our surroundings, the animals, fish, winged ones, the crawling creatures, rocks, trees, brooks and earth. No one is better or less than another. No leader exists. The non-verbal communication between us and the natural world is very real.   
The invaders brought an unnatural way, a one-god, individual-ego system. We are told to forget about our ties to our people, to follow their ways, to “better” ourselves and make our own decisions to be better than everybody else. We are trained to become self important and stop thinking of being an equal member of our group. 
Bird at the top: "Get me some more worms".
The invaders convinced some of us to go to their schools and churches to be brainwashed to their ways. Some are trained to think they are better than their people. To better themselves and be accepted by the European hierarchical system they marry an invader. A good job, a 2-garage house, cars and three children shows they have “made it” in the foreign ways. Their mates are  tough harsh people who protect them from their weaknesses, especially their desire to be among their people. 

After a while these modified Indians feel a need to go back and help their people become hierarchical like them. Their people see them as betrayers and will never accept them back. These Indians falsely figured they have to lower themselves in a downward spiral to make their way back into our society. It doesn’t work that way.downward spiral
 
They can’t come back to the one mind because they accepted the programming of the dividers. As the bottom rung in the pyramid, they get the most shit on them! The traitors amongst us are playing a dangerous crap game, as Mick Jagger sings: Tumbling dice “Honey, got no money, I’m all sixes, sevens and nines. Say now, baby, I’m the rank outsider, you can be my partner in crime. You got to roll me and call me the tumbling dice.”

Gary Witherspoon 'Water and Energy: Survival in the American Southwest'


Water and Energy:
Survival in the American Southwest

Narrative on Dine' water rights and Navajo Generating Station lease negotiations


By Gary Witherspoon

In 1519, Cortez and his army of mercenaries invaded the Triple Alliance formed by the great city states of central Mexico.  His conquest of the Mexica took several years and finally succeeded as a result of an horrendous small pox epidemic that Cortez and his soldiers brought to the Indigenous population that had no immunity to it.   Professors Cook and Borah of the University of California Berkeley found in a very exhaustive study that from 1520 to 1620 a very advanced Indigenous population of 25.2 million people living in some of the largest and most beautiful cities in the world at the time was reduced to 700,000 people by the disease, devastation and terror Cortez and the Spaniards brought to central Mexico.
