Mohawk Nation News 'Cowboys and Indians'

COWBOYS & INDIANS


Please post & distribute.
MNN. FEB. 25, 2017. It’s Oscar time. The cowboys and Indians films were fascist propaganda to promote the corporate political agenda. The invaders feared us. Our existence was to be annihilated and forgotten to make way for the theft of our continent. The movie industry framed a barbarian image of us. Those films that met the regime’s needs were given prestigious award like the Oscars.
TRIBAL COUNCILS & HANDLERS IN THEIR COSTUMES AT THE OSCARS!  
Film is a political instrument. The Nazi regime realized that the public is mentally inert. They don’t have a natural language from which to develop thinking. They read that which confirms their pre-established beliefs which are created for them. Moving pictures were found to have better prospects to condition them.
Hollywood continues to promote the lone gunman, “just passin’ through,” and the solitary cop. Cowboys killing INDIANS is the image that was created of the West. We are suppose to be their subordinates. This long established false image has recently been destroyed.
Hollywood created and perpetuated the illusion of manliness as a killer of INDIAN men, women children and babies. The American dream is the corporation annihilating the onkwe’hon:weh, the natural people of great turtle island and beyond. It did not work. We’re still here.
Hollywood has to tell the truth about the greatest holocaust in all mankind, the murder of over 100 million onkwe’hon:weh, natural people of the Western Hemisphere. Unarmed Indians were killed for our land and possessions, hiding our bodies in mass graves and building cities and towns over them.
The enemy programmed “The only good Indian is a dead Indian” into their minds. Our people were put on public display in Wild West Shows before the cinema.
Movie personalities sell the product of passing false stories to the world about us. The public were made to believe it was alright to eliminate us.
Hollywood sells pedophilia, pederasty, incest, perverted sex, all forms of mental problems, murders, torture, killing nature and other perversions as being normal and to weaken our defences.
WHEN SMOKE COME OVER BIG MOUNTAIN 3 TIMES, I WILL RETURN, KEMOSABE!
Hollywood elevated and made role models of evil gangsters like Al Capone, Baby Face Nelson, Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, the Mafia, Machine Gun Kelly, Custer and many other mobsters.
We onkwe’hon:weh are part of the natural world which had to be eliminated through developing complex ways to kill and torture us, which were glorified in the movies.
Hollywood created superheroes and now military heroes to save them. The people are scared, pacified and can’t defend themselves from the truth. They are waiting to be told what to do as they are trained to be obedient. At Standing Rock they show fear because we stood up to them.
Hollywood made Americans into heroes that won World War 1 and 2. The Russians won both. Americans fear anyone who stands up to them. Their strategy is to intimidate. Hollywood creates the scenario of a rough and tough street gang bully. They are actually cowards with guns.
US policy decides what will be destroyed that goes against their fascist agenda. Fascist art and culture installs the fear, blinds the public, stirs up patriotism and keeps them silent. A few brave celebrities have spoken out and stood with us.
Hollywood thrives on making war propaganda movies. The message of the song “We are Still Here”is: “missionize, christianize, socialize, minimize, legislate, assimilate, economize, genocide:

Mohawk Nation News 'Women Titleholders Give Notice'

WOMEN TITLEHOLDERS GIVE NOTICE


Please post & distribute.
MNN. Feb. 24, 2017. The world watches in horror as the US military commit atrocities at Standing Rock to try to kill the water defenders for a private pipeline. Automatic weapons are pointed directly at us. The presence of the military force is to continue the genocide of our people. 
The kohtihon’tia:kwenio, the women title holders of great turtle island, give notice. We are obliged to preserve and protect the land for the future generations.
We are mandated to inform the invading aliens and their agents to respect our freedom to live and travel throughout our lands without hindrance.
We come from creation. We survived mass murder in the biggest holocaust in all humanity, chemical and biological warfare, starvation, physical and mental torture, lies, ignorance and genocide by statute.
The US, Canada and Mexico are fabricated private colonial corporations that are squatting on our land. They are banking “franchises” of Europe, not governments, who have illegally divided up our lands and resources. They can never become sovereign on our land.
Only we have sovereign authority. We have ancient agreements and alliances among all our people.
The Charter of the United Nations requires respect for the principles of equal rights and self-determination. Differences are to be resolved peacefully.
The franchises are violating the internationally recognized standards for respecting political rights of the People as set out in the international Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide, UN Convention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and other international legal instruments.
General Assembly Resolution 1541 [XV] requires the informed consent of the people before they are included in another state; and the International Court of Justice affirmed this principle in the Western Sahara case. We are not and will never become part of the colonial states that are squatting on our land.
OCETI CAMP AT STANDING ROCK.
According to Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Sections 1 and 2, every people have a right to a nationality. No nation can change another nation’s identity by imposing foreign legislation. Our travel, trade and commerce must be unhindered throughout the Americas known as the Western Hemisphere, which we call great turtle island.
Ignoring our perspectives on us, our land, resources, air, water and all life are universally recognized as illegal.
The squatters cannot arbitrarily turn anybody into subjects of their corporation without our knowledge or consent.
We shall freely traverse all our lands, pass and re-pass by land or inland navigation or by air onto all our territories. Taxes, duties and all fees are illegally extracted from us by these foreigners. We shall hunt and fish anywhere on our territory.
The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights provides that no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of their life or freedom. The US must immediately stop threatening, murdering and detaining us, contravening the internationally recognized principles of fundamental justice.
The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has been adopted by a majority of states. We are equal to all others and have a right to full enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms.
We demand the settler corporation immediately disarm and stop detaining, murdering, torturing, raping, robbing us, harassing and charging us in their illegally imposed Admiralty law of the seas judicial system. They must bring their concerns to the proper traditional onkwe’hon:weh governments.
WOMEN AND MEN EVERYWHERE CAN STOP THE BRUTALITY.
Torture is premeditated, systemic and scientific meant to break down our dignity, our social fabric and foment terror within the people.
Puppet tribal and band councils imposed by the corporation are treasonous.
Canada, US and Mexico and other colonial franchises must cease and desist violating the authority of the land owners of great turtle island.
Our duty is to protect our physical integrity and legal rights.
Threats, murder and torture have no place in the internal or international relations of any peoples. The principles of the great peace and teh’io:hateh [Two Row Wampum], are the true laws of onon’ware:keh;
We demand the corporation immediately vacate great turtle island. 
Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Gall and the others jumped on their horses to meet the enemy head on without fear. They fought for the generations to come.
Jimi Hendrix sings about fighting for freedom: “You got my pride hanging out of my bed. You’re messing with my life, so I brought my lead. You’re even messing with my children, and you’re screaming at my wife. Get off of my back f you want to get out of here alive. Freedom, that’s what I want now. Freedom, that’s what I need now”. http://www.vevo.com/watch/jimi-hendrix/Freedom/USQX91502874
