Rage and Fury Sweep Mexico, the World:  Justice for Ayotzinapa

Swelling outrage over a police massacre and the forced disappearance of scores of students swept Mexico and the world this week.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators demanded justice for six people killed September 26 and 27  by municipal police officers and paramilitary gunmen in Iguala, Guerrero, as well as the safe return of 43 Mexican students from the Raul Isidro Burgos Rural Teachers College of Ayotzinapa reported kidnapped and disappeared by the same aggressors.

“Your dignified rage is our rage,” stated a communiqué from the general command of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN), shortly before 20,000 masked Zapatistas staged a silent march October 8 through the streets of San Cristobal de las Casas in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas.

Mohawk Nation News 'Wisconsin Whitewash?'





WISCONSIN WHITEWASH?

Please post and distribute. Nia:wen.
MNN. Oct. 8, 2014. Blue Skies Inc. is holding a supposed “Truth Commission on Indian Boarding Schools” in Wisconsin on October 22 to 24, 2014. The U.S. is exporting its genocide program. The holocaust of Great Turtle Island is well known. Over 150 million Indigenous people were eliminated. Canada is a well-known police state that mistreats indigenous people. Dictators of corporate countries are sending their police and government agents to study how Canada and US committed the “perfect crime” and think they got away with it. They’re here to refine their own procedures and take them back to their homelands. Somebody has to do the dirty work. These henchmen will be probably done away with too.
"South Africans studied Canada's system of genocide to set up their apartheid".
“South Africa studied Canada’s system of apartheid. We can do better!” 
Corporate tribunals and commissions are set up where the scoundrels sit as commissioners and judges to hear and record our horrid death camp experiences. They listen, discuss and then secretly perfect the recipe for mass murder to be carried out in other corporate police states. South Africa studied Canada’s blood quantum legislation in their Indian At and developed apartheid from it. South Africa no longer follows  the apartheid program. Canada continues.
"Herr, Hitler. It works! Canada showed us the perfect holocaust!"
“Herr, Hitler. CIA said Canada can teach ISIS the perfect holocaust!”
We speak of our experience so that Indigenous people worldwide will escape the same tragedy.
UN Agenda 21 meets all the criteria for the crime of genocide. The shareholders/perpetrators want a full-proof recipe for murder, to continue the genocide and no person to be held responsible.
Agencies, foundations and corporations masquerading as countries are registered with the Vatican. They operate under many corporate fronts to carry out skullduggery on the poor and down trodden. Controlling the economy and setting up brainwashing schools to pass as education are all part of the agenda.
Outright murder, diseases, epidemics, prisons, death camps, direct attacks and supplying weapons to both sides are some of their tactics. Being the master means wanton lying, killing and manipulating the world. It’s all going to backfire. Even amongst their own people the brainwashing is failing.
We're here. The genocide was not so perfect.
“The Buck stops here!” 
Time and time again these mass murderers have been tried and convicted. Punishment is forthcoming. We Indigenous need to get past the horror stories. We should collect funds at these meetings to sue the Vatican for genocide of Indigenous people of Great Turtle Island. The only non-Admiralty court is the international Court of Arbitration in The Hague. Commissioners and judges, how much money can you give us to do this? Canada’s newest class of millionaires are the 630 corporate Indian Chiefs in Canada. They work every day to implement the Indian Act genocide policies. Brothers, can you spare a dime?
Blue Skies Inc. of Britain is not the same blue skies that Willie Nelson sings about: “Blue skies smiling at me. Nothing but blue skies do I see. Blue days all of them gone. Nothing but blue skies from now on.” Sing it, Willie! Willie Nelson. “Blue Skies”.

Most of us live lives sanitized from the torture in Mexico. Once you have seen the torture, or the photos of this torture, these bodies remain imprinted on your mind forever. Please remember the students disappeared and murdered by police in Guerrero, Mexico. 

The tortured and murdered children of Indian boarding schools in the US is the subject of the upcoming Tribunal in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Oct. 22, 23 and 24. Govinda at Earthcycles and I will have live video and print coverage of the Tribunal. Torture and murder are easy to turn away from -- we are hoping you will not.

Bill Means, Lakota, brother of Russell Means, opens the Tribunal on Oct. 22. Speaking of the history on the first day are Loretta Metoxen, Oneida historian, David Tucker, Oneida-Menominee historian, Melinda Young, Lac du Flambeau historian, and Terrance Nelson, Anishinaabe and Grand Chief of Southern Chiefs Organization in Canada.

On the second day, Oct. 23, there is witness testimony and a discussion of recommendations for reconciliation and restoration of Indigenous Children's Rights. On the final day is a press conference and summary of the Tribunal.

Remembering the children who never came home

CARLISLE, Penn. -- Most American Indian children in US boarding schools were kidnapped, stolen from their parents. At Carlisle Indian Industrial School, Native American children were part of the US experiment which became the prototype of the boarding schools that followed. Across the US, Indian children were forbidden to speak their language, which carried their songs and ceremonies. Their hair was cut in an attempt to cut the Indian-ness from them. In boarding schools, children were routinely abused, beaten and sexually abused. Many were tortured and locked in cellars. Some were shot trying to escape. Many died of malnutrition and pneumonia. Others died of tuberculosis and genocide: Children with TB were housed with healthy children, producing the rampant spread of tuberculosis.

The young boys who survived were militarized, made into US soldiers. The Carlisle school eventually became an Army War College and finally the US Army Campus. At Haskell, the unmarked graves in the marsh tell the rest of the story. Many of the children who died, or were murdered, were buried in unmarked graves without gravestones. This pattern of genocide was repeated in Australia and Canada. In Canada, at the residential schools operated by churches, there is new evidence that children were raped and murdered.

Carlisle was built on the premise of a prison.
At Carlisle, Richard H. Pratt designed the school, based on his experience at St. Augustine prison in Florida. "Kill the Indian, and save the man," Pratt said, stating his theory of education. "The children arrived in Carlisle on October 6, 1879 and soon the assimilation began. The boys were dressed in military uniforms, the girls wore Victorian style dresses. Both male and female were forced to have their hair cut, which to the Lakota the cutting of the hair was symbolic of mourning." http://native-american-history.suite101.com/article.cfm/carlisle_indian_school#ixzz0RTJ9nQLX
The tombstones tell the story, the children quickly began dying.
An unknown number died after returning home and a generation of American Indians suffered from childhoods of abuse, deprived of the love of their parents. At Carlisle, there were 10,000 Indian children in the boarding school between 1879 and 1918. There are 186 graves that are marked with tombsones.
An unknown number of children were buried without markers.
In the cemetery, names remember the children of Carlisle
