Mohawk Nation News 'Stand Up For Creation'

STAND UP FOR CREATION

Please post & distribute.

MNN. Nov. 16, 2016. Only right and wrong exist in life. We live for the generations here, those in the past and those still to come. Money grabbers live in the moment. Everybody has a choice, the ability to reason. If they don’t use it, they face the consequences for their actions.

The more force used against the people, the more power the people and their supporters have. Unity of the people to protect our mother is happening everywhere. Everybody is waving the warrior flag because they want to unite and resist the corporation.

After Dekanawida’s journey was complete he left behind the covenant on peace and the defense of the peace to protect the innocent. onkwe’hon:weh were charged with spreading the good message and using the psychic force that comes with having a good mind.

The 300 demonstrations today in the US shows that everyone wants to stand up for creation. They want freedom and to exercise their power.

Creation is helping us, just like the water we are safeguarding which is shaping our course for us. The police and military are shaping their attacks in relation to a foe they don’t understand. To them we are unpredictable. We keep changing the situation, while their situation is static. When necessary nature makes us modify our tactics.

Were they really dropping this on the water protectors?

Our enemies will be subdued without fighting them. Their cities are standing with us. They are overthrowing their own kingdom.

We will capture our militarized opponents without fighting or destroying them.

We will remain like a great river that stays the course or adjusts its flow. We have form but they can’t see it. We have no leaders for them to overcome, no one is in charge, no one is ordering us or lining anybody up to attack.

Onondaga Rally: "Do you drink, eat, breathe and walk upon the land? This is your fight!"

Elder at Onondaga Rally: “Do you drink, eat, breathe and walk upon the land? Then this is your fight too!”

We are adapting and not afraid of the battles. We will defeat those who have already lost. And then they will come and join us. We will all stand up against their war machine with the truth.

A Tribe Called Red sing about today’s despair that faces everybody:

Showdown at Standing Rock.

Trump parade of bad nuclear ideas No. 1 -- Revival of Yucca Mountain Nuclear Dump

.

In memory Corbin Harney, Western Shoshone

By Beyond Nuclear
Censored News

The President-Elect Donald J. Trump parade of bad nuclear ideas has already begun. Bloomberg News reports that "Trump advisors eye reviving Nevada nuclear waste dump."

Over the past 30 years, since the "Screw Nevada bill" of 1987 was initially rammed through Congress, more than a thousand environmental, environmental justice, and public interest groups, representing every state in the union, have successfully staved off the proposal to open a national high-level radioactive waste dump at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, located on Western Shoshone Indian land.

In 2009-2010, President Obama declared the Yucca dump "unworkable" -- although scientifically unsuitable and environmentally unjust would have been better -- and wisely cancelled the project. U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), long-serving U.S. Senate Democratic Leader, devoted his career to de-funding and blocking the Yucca dump.

But both Obama and Reid are leaving office in January. The likes of U.S. Reps. Fred Upton (R-MI) and John Shimkus (R-IL), on the U.S. House Energy & Commerce Committee, have long sought to revive the Yucca dump, on behalf of the lobbyists from the nuclear power industry. Now the President-Elect Trump administration seems amenable to "screwing Nevada," all over again, despite the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future's clear recommendation that radioactive waste dump siting must be "consent-based."

What can you do?

Contact your two U.S. Senators and your U.S. Representative (both those currently serving, and/or taking office in the new Congress in January). Urge them to keep the Yucca nuclear waste dump dead. You can phone your Congress members via the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

You can also consider attending the Dec. 2-4 national grassroots radioactive waste strategy summit in Chicago. If you can come, please register ASAP (Beyond Nuclear serves on the planning committee for this event).

You can also attend a Webinar, sponsored by Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS), re: Irradiated Nuclear Fuel, to be held on Thursday, November 17, 2016 from 8 to 9:30 PM Eastern time. The presenters will be Dr. Gordon Thompson of Institute for Resource and Security Studies (IRSS), and Donna Gilmore of San Onofre Safety. They will discuss: High Burnup Irradiated Nuclear Fuel; Aging Irradiated Nuclear Fuel; Characteristics and Dangers of Storage Pools and Casks; Robust or Hardened On-Site Storage; and Reprocessing. To register for the Webinar, please go to:

https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4295273338593027843

Please note that this Webinar is being conducted in preparation for the Chicago strategy summit in early December. If you are unable to attend the live Webinar, a recording will be made available in the near future. Recordings of two previous Webinars will also be made available in the near future: the first, held on Nov. 3rd, was conducted by Diane D'Arrigo of NIRS, giving an Introduction to Nuclear Power and the Uranium Fuel Chain; the second, held on Nov. 10th, was conducted by Karen Hadden of SEED Coalition in Texas, Dr. Arjun Makhihani of IEER and Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear, both based in Takoma Park, MD, discussing Centralized "Interim" Storage (de facto permanent parking lot dumps) and Irradiated Nuclear Fuel Transport Risks (Mobile Chernobyl). Watch the Beyond Nuclear weekly email bulletin for an announcement on how to view these recordings, as well as for further updates on the Yucca dump, centralized interim storage (de facto permanent parking lot dumps), Mobile Chernobyl risks, etc.

To learn more about all these issues, see the various sub-tabs under Beyond Nuclear's Radioactive Waste website section.

Mohawk Nation News 'Where is Crazy Horse?'

WHERE IS CRAZY HORSE?

Posted on November 15, 2016

Please post & distribute.

MNN. NOV. 15, 2016. Crazy Horse said, “We did not ask you white men to come here. Creation placed us here as our home. You had yours. We did not interfere with you. We do not want your civilization”. We have many non-native supporters who are standing with us to fight against the greed of the corporation and their devastation of our land.

At Standing Rock we are exercising the energy that honors our life, our land, the mysterious sound that comes from our ancestors, which we are to transmit to our future unborn children. We honor them by not violating creation’s truth. This is an ongoing revolution for those of us with onkwe’hon;weh blood running through our veins who must follow the original instructions to survive and co-exist. This protection of the environment is not just for ourselves, but our friends and allies.

Thieves have taken our possessions and our ability to take care of it. We are not thieves. We have a right to defend ourselves and follow our original instructions. Fear is drowning out the people’s ability to think. Many don’t want to hear something they might have to do something about.

"Solar energy? How are they going to sink a test well on the sun?"

Enough of our bones have been thrown into the dust of our mother and trampled over by the invaders. We will not let them continue to desecrate our bodies.

Our right to ownership of our property, freedom of speech and association, to personally communicate with each other and being monitored is all against international law and the law of the land, kaia’nere:kowa [the creat peace].

This brutality against us and our mother are being orchestrated by the corporation and their investors to take our resources to fuel their war business plan, which violates the kaia’nere:kowa.

In the US the Patriot Act and in Canada Bill C-51 are created to allow anyone who goes against the corporation to be sent to a private prison with no trial or phone call, to turn everyone into prisoners of war like the onkwe’hon:weh [natural people of the land].

Those who do not stand up for their own mother earth are complicit in its destruction.

Johnny Cash sings about Pima Ira Hayes who died over the water issue: “Down the ditches thousands of years the waters grew Ira’s peoples crops. Til the white man stole their water rights and the sparkling waters stopped … his land is just as dry and his ghost is lying thirsty in the ditch where Ira died”. [Ballad of Ira Hayes]
