Our hearts are broken by the sudden passing of our friend Klee Benally. Reflecting on Klee's life, we remember the words of Che Guevara that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.

Klee never surrendered, he never surrendered to capitalism, the media, or the forces of conformity that sought to change who he was.

PARIS -- The EVE Auction in Paris continued the auction of Hopi and Navajo sacred items for the fourth year on June 27, 2014. This video reveals the genocide denier responsible for auctioning off sacred items of Hopi and Navajo. As Alan Leroy rips the posters from the wall, Klee Benally, Dine', tells the profiteer he is committing genocide.

Benally challenges the auctions.

Responding with racism and hostility, Leroy tells Benally, "You were never killed by anybody."

Benally says the items were stolen. "The burden of proof is on you. You are committing cultural genocide."

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Jan. 5, 2024

South Africa has invoked the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice at The Hague. The appointees of President Biden, including those who callously allow lithium mining into the Paiute massacre site, are now part of a regime responsible for war crimes and genocide in Palestine.

The Washington Post documented that the white phosphorus being used by Israel in bombs came from the U.S. It is a war crime.

Director's Cut. Directed by Robert Lundahl.

Lithium in America tells the not unfamiliar story of industry and government pushing huge energy projects forward with market-driven exuberance despite local opposition and failure to consult with tribes. The film shines a light on these questionable practices as we interview leaders and members from 5 tribes with respect to 4 major projects in 3 states that are bellwethers of policy today, and which represent a common mindset and set of practices, however misguided.
