Mohawk Nation News 'Rocket Man'


Posted on September 27, 2017

Please post and distribute.
MNN. Sept. 27, 2017. North Korea defeated and shamed the U.S. “sore losers” in a war in 1953. Name calling is laziness of the mind, like throwing garbage at each other. The bullying by the US President at the UN reflects the low mentality of his mainly white trash supporters. The football players refuse to support the flag that represents racism and the US Republic of War.

STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK MY BONES …
As Kim Jung Il pointed out, name calling is a symptom of fear. Trump threatens to send the sons and daughters of the Blacks, Latinos, natives and poor whites to do his dirty deeds. 

WHITE HOUSE STAFF WRITING UP THE PRESIDENT’S DAILY DIATRIBE.

WHITEHOUSE SPEECH WRITERS: “WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH!”
Trump’s cohort, prime minister Trudeau, announced at the UN he is not going to stop the continuing genocide of the onkwe-hon-weh, the original people of this land.

STROKING ANOTHER BABY!
Trudeau trying to force us to become slaves owned by the corporation of Canada without our knowledge or consent. The military is setting up two new teams to reinforce the divide and conquer strategy of the onkwe-hon-weh. 

NOW FOR MY NEXT INSULT. IT MIGHT  HURT YOUR FEELINGS AND HUMILIATE YOU.
We think Donald Trumpmust must have had a flash back when calling Kim Jung Il “Rocket Man”, just like Elton John sang: “And I think it’s gonna be a long long time. ‘Till touch down brings me round again to find, I’m not the man they think I am at home. Oh no no no I’m a rocket man…”

Big Mountain -- Elders Now Silent as Drilling Begins


Big Mountain - Elders Now Silent as Drilling Begins


Big Mountain Dineh Kept Land Pristine an Extra 40 Years, Now the End

Written by Bahe Y. Katenay, September 2017
Sheep Dog Nation Rocks

 "Seven new drill sites for water, at the heart of Big Mountain, might now set the stage for what is to come, the final phase of the energy wars, the Four Corners National Sacrifice Area, and the corporate war machine of the US’s dying wish to win the world."
