"Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original Americans [indigenous] the Indian was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of negroes on our shore the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society.  From the 16th century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation [US} which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalted it. Our children are taught to respect the violence which reduced a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups herded into impoverished reservations." John F. Kennedy.  JAR2.com the real leak site.

Ute at Utah State Capitol Today: Stop the Uranium Mill Poisoning our People

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 4, 2024

SALT LAKE, Utah -- White Mesa Ute rallied at the Utah State Capitol on Friday, demanding that the deadly uranium mill in their community be shut down, as the legacy of genocide, toxic dumping, and widespread cancer continues.

Rally at Utah Capitol for White Mesa Ute -- Say No to Uranium Oct. 4, 2024



We're rallying at the Capitol to demand that decision makers keep unregulated, toxic, radioactive waste out of Utah. After decades of processing low-level radioactive waste from across North America, the White Mesa Uranium Mill is expanding its operations and now accepting hazardous materials from Europe and Asia. The mill, which operates without proper precautions or regulations, emits cancer-causing gases and jeopardizes the air, water, and health of nearby residents. Join us in solidarity with the White Mesa Community and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe on October 4 at noon at the Utah State Capitol.

SAY NO TO URANIUM! PROTECT WHITE MESA UTE COMMUNITY'S HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, AND SACRED AND CULTURAL SITES FROM DESTRUCTION AND CONTAMINATION!

TWO UPCOMING EVENTS:

Friday October 4, 12 noon Rally for White Mesa in Salt Lake City, Utah

Saturday, October 12, 11 am White Mesa Ute Community Spiritual Walk and Protest Against Energy Fuels' uranium mill
