Human Rights Tribunals: Excessive force and murder -- San Diego Border, Standing Rock and Tohono O'odham Nation

The United States declined to respond during the tribunal today for the torture and murder of Anastasio Hernandez Rojos, who died after being kicked like a barrel and repeatedly tasered in handcuffs by U.S. Border Patrol agents at the San Diego border.

Today's tribunal was the first time the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights had taken up a case of extrajudicial killing by U.S. law enforcement. The case exposed the shadow units, the secret cover-up units concealing the crimes committed by U.S. Border Patrol agents.

Hernandez Rojas' widow Maria Puga said, “They just thought he was one more immigrant who was going to disappear. But here we are.”

KATHY PELTIER, ABOUT LEONARD PELTIER



“I just introduced myself in my language. My name is Kathy Peltier, I am enrolled member of the Navajo Tribe, I am also Dakota and Anishinaabe. I am the youngest daughter of Leonard Peltier. I was two years old at Fargo, North Dakota, at the trial, when I got to see my dad. I don’t remember any of that but I do know that we have been keeping struggling, as his kids we’ve been struggling all our lives, trying to get a release for our dad. We, our generation, we need to let people know who he is, who is Leonard Peltier. You have to go to https://whoisleonardpeltier.info .

TRUDEAU: “I APOLOGIZED FIRST!”  

POPE: “YEAH, BUT MY APOLOGY IS BIGGER THAN YOURS!”

HOW CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU

& THE POPE’S ADMISSION OF INDIGENOUS GENOCIDE CALLS FOR A

PARADIGM SHIFT.

The Pope came last July 2022. Lots of commotion. In the plane that was bringing him back to the Vatican, a young journalist from kahnawake asked him about genocide. He ended up admitting that what happened to us was genocide. As far as we’re concerned the cross on top of tekanontak mount royal is an admission of genocide. The term ‘genocide’ has legal consequences. Such as removing genocide regimes in Rwanda, Germany, Srilanka, South Africa and now Canada.

The whole legal genocidal framework of Canada has to be done away with. Only kaianerekowa can protect us. We have a way of life that is real. We don’t have an illusion of freedom. The circle of the family wampum does not allow the power of an attorney to represent us. Everyone is sovereign, tewatatewennio. No one can speak for someone else. No one can make decisions for another. There is no power of attorney.

Judge Moore’s decision recognizes our way of self-representation. We are finally able to raise the issue of the murders of our children and their disappearances. The business plan for the corporation of Canada is to carry out the genocide of the onkwehonweh, the original people of turtle island, as if we never existed.

"Today we stood strong against this Nazi oil-bought police force. They set off LRAD on us, hit us, maced us, arrested our grandmothers, and uncles, shot at our horse relatives, and set off concussion grenades, and rubber bullets into the unarmed crowd. They desecrated sacred land and destroyed our homes on tribal land. We had snipers scoping me out with an assault rifle pointed at me and my relative. Our hearts were wounded but we will regroup and keep our minds in high vibrations because it is not over.
We will stop the pipeline." Cepoalli, shared on Censored News, as it happened, Oct. 27, 2016
