NAVAJO NATION, Window Rock, Arizona -- Vice President candidate for the Democratic Party Tim Walz stopped in Window Rock, Arizona where snipers lined the monument and three Diné citizens were brutalized by his staffers during the Harris/Walz campaign stop; 10 days before the general election.

While standing in the crowd, a Diné woman was continuously harassed by authorities and attacked by a Walz staffer, while another Diné man was brutalized and arrested. Meanwhile, Buu Nygren, President of the Navajo Nation, was getting heckled about his missing Vice President and another woman chanting for Trump in the crowd. It was clear that campaign staffers weren’t clamping down on “disruptors”, rather, they were targeting Diné people—on their own homelands—policing anyone who supports Palestine.

LAGUNA PUEBLO, New Mexico -- Interior Sec. Deb Haaland's tribe's enterprise, Laguna Industries, manufactures parts for both the ballistic missile, and parts for combat jets, including the F-15. Biden recently approved the sale of fifty F-15 jets to Israel in a $20 billion deal.

The discovery comes after Biden was protested at Gila River Indian Community, and Interior Sec. Haaland was sued by three Arizona tribes for targeting and destroying the sacred.

Laguna Industries, owned by Laguna Pueblo, is a defense contractor and produces electrical components. As a Native American owned company, it receives priority in defense contracting.
