Statewide Day of Action to Decry Texas
Anti-Immigrant Agenda
Dozens of Texan Cities to Fiercely Oppose and Condemn Anti-Immigrant proposals that Hurt Texas

El Paso, TX /Southern New Mexico- Border Network for Human Rights will hold a March and Rally on Wednesday, March 25th, 2015 starting at 11:00 a.m. this actions are part of the Statewide mobilizations convened by Reform Immigration for Texas Alliance (RITA) to repudiate the anti-immigrant agenda being discussed at the Texas Legislature. Proposals like HB11 in the House and SB3 in the Senate not only aim to undermine the trust communities currently have towards law enforcement agencies, but also attempt to hurt Texas economy and values leaving thousands of students without access to in-state tuition.

While our state is moving forward with policies that would deploy hundreds DPS personnel for the vague cause of “securing the border”, dozens of cities will join us around the state in a Statewide Day of Action to make sure that immigrant and border voices are heard loudly and clearly in Austin, in that sense BNHR reiterates its opposition to any proposal that endeavors to injure the great state of Texas.

WHAT: March and Rally Opposing Texas Anti-Immigrant Agenda
WHERE: March starting at 11:00 a.m.  (Starting Point at 1000 Chihuahua Street)
                    Rally starting at Noon at Cleveland Square Park (510 N. Santa Fe St)
. WHEN: Wednesday, March 25th, 2015

The Border Network for Human Rights, founded in 1998, is one of the leading human rights advocacy and immigration reform organizations located at the U.S./Mexico Border. BNHR has over 7,000 members in West Texas and Southern New Mexico.

Description

The Native American Youth Awareness Forum on Nuclear Issues will bring together Native American youth together with elders active in nuclear issues surrounding the Nevada National Security Site (formerly the Nevada Test Site) to communicate the history and values of tribal involvement around the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS).
Who should attend: Native American youth in high school, college or considering college with an interest in helping the people carry on the work of protecting the land and people of the Great Basin from nuclear threats and hazards?
What to expect: The event is intended to immerse the participants in the history of U.S.. nuclear development and its impacts upon Native Americans living in communities surrounding the NNSS. We will share our experiences and responses to the adverse health consequences known to be plausible from exposure to radiation in fallout from nuclear weapons testing.

Native American Youth Forum on Nuclear Issues
From Ian Zabarte, Newe Sogobia (Western Shoshone)

Het ‘Native American Youth Awareness Forum’ zal Native Amerikaanse jongeren samenbrengen met oudere activisten over de nucleaire kwesties die de Nevada National Security Site (voorheen de test Site), omringen.
Zij zullen praten over de geschiedenis en waarden van tribale betrokkenheid rond de Nevada National Security Site (NNSS).

Native Amerikaanse jongeren uit het secundair onderwijs en studenten van de universiteiten, die mee willen werken tegen nucleaire bedreigingen en gevaren voor de bescherming van het land en het volk van de Great Basin.

De bedoeling is om de deelnemers bewust te maken van de geschiedenis van de nucleaire ontwikkeling in de VS en de impact hiervan op Native Amerikanen die in de gemeenschappen leven rond de NSS.
Ervaringen en response zullen gedeeld worden op de negatieve gevolgen voor de gezondheid, waarvan bekend is dat ze te wijten zijn aan blootstelling aan straling in de fallout van de testen van nucleaire wapens.
Er zal een Native Amerikaans perspectief geboden worden voor de ontwikkeling van de geplande hoog -actieve opslagplaats voor kernafval op de Yucca Mountain.

Mohawk Nation News 'Colonial Hangover'

COLONIAL HANGOVER

Posted on March 24, 2015
mnnlogo1
Please post & distribute. Nia:wen.
MNN. 24 Mar. 2015. What happens to plutocrats and their followers when colonialism is over? A great big hangover. After centuries of oppression these parasites suffer in agony from dehydration, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, hyper-excitability and anxiety. They can’t live without preying on us, our lives and blood anymore. Their fake matrix is falling apart and can’t sustain them. They need pacified and scared slaves to operate. The beast of war is hysterical and waging last ditch colonial wars to continue their deadly illusion.
Wow! Heard the pyramid disappeared.
“Ow! I’m out of colonies, honey. Have you got anymore aspirin?”
The West is suffering the morning after hangover. They can’t live without colonialism. They have nothing without stealing and making everybody else do the work. They will do anything to stay in the old game. France, England, Spain, Holland, Portugal and Germany are the biggest predators. They rampaged, raped and pillaged Ongwe’hon:weh [natural people of the world]. They have everything through blood lust, warmongering and chaos. Now the colony of the US is colonizing Europe. Russia is once again in the middle of their fascist aspirations.
'I won't be around, but think, Billy - you will see the end of this race in your lifetime!'The oligarchs have less and less compliant slaves. The victims are finding they can protect themselves by disappearing, missing work, low job performance, reduced productivity, poor achievement and less spending.
Some complications of colonial hangovers are collective amnesia about their brutal colonization tactics. Their control mechanisms are disappearing because their underlings who do all the work are being rendered irrelevant. Bankers who know all the inner workings of the matrix are disappearing. Scientists who develop all the weapons of genocide are being eliminated.
China and Russia are on the ascendency, throwing a wrench into the plans of the West. They do not follow the pyramidal power structure of the Vatican controlled West. Russia is preparing for nuclear war because they have seen these people at their worst in two world wars. We as Kanion’ke:haka/Mohawks thank the Russian people for ending the banker created World War I and World War II. Nia:wen kowa!up in smoke
Jigosaseh, the mother of nations, warned Dekanawida about the dangerous man who eats humans and stands in the way of peace. Dekanawida said that it is each ones duty to bring such evils to an end so that all people may go about from place to place without fear.
As the Irish Rovers sing about their hangover that the oligarchs will be feeling. “Could have been the whisky. Might have been the gin. Could have the 3 or 4 six-packs. I don’t know. But look at the mess I’m in. My head’s like a football. I think I’m gonna die. Tell me, me oh me, oh my. Wasn’t that a party”.
