Thank you Grandma Gordon, 91 years old, for sharing this message for the people with Censored News, written with your own handwriting!

By Seneca Hawk Elder Edna Gordon

Broomstick Revolution with Harvey Arden should be out soon. We also have speak in October. I speak to all people to read the Censored News, to become alert to the events affecting our people of all Nations.

Survival on the Pathway to Peace
The Fundamental Roots of Peace is to abide by our Naturalistic Way of Life to fulfill the Creation Law for Peace and Survival.

Spiritual Earth Connection

Our Ancestors possessed the greatest insight for survival. They looked to the Great Spirit, source of All Life, and to the Earth as their Mother, dependant on Nature to Survive.

We Honor our Homeland Heritage by Birthright and our Naturalistic Way of Life for Peace and Survival.

Crossroads of Peace

Today, in this Progressive Era, we are still striving to maintain our Naturalistic Way of Life, yet, moving along with the Law of Changes.

Sacred Fires of Peace

Since the Equality of Life is the Basic root of Freedom, we need to revive the old, ancient trails that paved the Wilderness for Democracy.

Freedom of Life’s Choices

Sovereignty is our Freedom to Live in Harmony with Nature and the Laws of Creation are the Guidelines to Honor the Unity of One Body, One Heart, One Mind and One Spirit.

--Seneca Hawk Elder Edna Gordon

Terrance Nelson: Iran, Oil and the US Bloody Legacy

Terrance Nelson responds to Professor Sadiq Rahimi's article on the upcoming First Nations delegation to Iran. After Nelson, former Chief of Roseau River in Manitoba, announced the visit to Iran in October, with Dakota Chiefs, Canada quickly closed its Iranian Embassy.

Rahimi calls his own article, "Terrance Nelson's courtship with the Iranian Republic."
"What Nelson is attempting can have serious publicity and security implications for the Canadian government, both at home and internationally. Nelson is a popular leader among some disaffected aboriginal groups, and has repeatedly proven himself to be no stranger to either politics, controversy or militant activism. 'There are two ways to deal with the white man,' he says, 'you either pick up a gun, or you stand between him and his money.'" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sadeq-rahimi/terry-nelson-iran_b_1900389.html

By Terrance Nelson

The article seems straight forward but unfortunately it makes me the
issue. Rahimi is a University Prof and he is Iranian. I tell Iranians
here in Canada that even if they themselves are not big fans of the
Iranian government, remember, 567,000 Iraqi children died in the first
five years of the United Nations economic sanctions. The question for
the Iranians in North America is how many millions of Iranians are
going to die in the war against Iran.

Not too many people who read the Huffington Post article will open the
links that will give them an understanding of the issues.

I attach once again information that is clear, I have stated time and
again, a war against Iran is economic suicide for the United States.
If Israel bombs Iran, Israel will do more damage to the United States
than any terrorist has ever done. This will not be a cakewalk. Mission
Accomplished, I don't think so.

What I ask Americans is, how many Americans have been killed in the
last thirty years by Vietnamese. Once U.S. soldiers stopped killing
Vietnamese in their own lands, there has never been any killing of
U.S. soldiers by Vietnamese. They have never travelled to the United
States to kill Americans in their own home. So what right do claim
that allows us to be in some other people's land killing them because
they don't do as we tell them? This is about oil, it always has been
about oil.

Listen Tiokasin Ghosthorse: Eradicating Ecocide

First Voices Indigenous Radio
Program:
FVIR
Thursday, September 20, 2012
POLLY HIGGINS is a lawyer who has dedicated her life to one client - Mother Earth. (www.pollyhiggins.com)
Polly is a barrister, author and creator of new laws to protect the Earth. Polly has proposed that Ecocide is the missing 5th Crime Against Peace, to sit alongside genocide as an international crime throughout the world.
We spend this hour about ERADICATING ECOCIDE (www.thisisecocide.com>. There are already four international Crimes Against Peace. They are: Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, War Crimes, and Crimes of Aggression. There is a missing 5th Crime Against Peace: that crime is Ecocide, including Cultural Ecocide of Indigenous peoples.
Non-ascertainable Ecocide: where the consequence, or potential consequence, is destruction, damage or loss to the territory per se, but without specific identification of cause as being that which has been created by specific human activity.
Examples of non-ascertainable ecocide affecting sizeable territories include:
*hurricanes
*tornadoes
*rising sea levels
*tsunamis
*volcanic eruptions
Ascertainable Ecocide: where the consequence, or potential consequence, is destruction, damage or loss to the territory, and liability of the legal person(s) can be determined.
The destruction of large areas of the environment and ecosystems can be caused directly or indirectly by various activities, such as nuclear testing, exploitation of resources, extractive practices, dumping of harmful chemicals, use of defoliants, emission of pollutants or war.

Mohawk Nation News 'Freedom to lie, Freedom to kill'

 
FREEDOM TO LIE. FREEDOM TO KILL.
 
MNN. Sept. 19, 2012. To Americans freedom of speech means the ruling masters train their people to be abused without complaining. They are unnatural, living a decaying life on top of steel, concrete and glass. Their put-down culture is to deceive and insult each other on a road paved with trickery and twisting of reality. Their most dangerous obstacle is the truth, which they set out to kill at every turn.
As the Muslim riots demonstrate, when natural people are unfairly insulted, they seethe with anger. The filmmakers of “Innocence of Muslims” insulted natural people, who are proud and stand up for their dignity for the sake of their children.
Humiliating Muslims in grotesque disrespectful cartoons to bring them under control is called satire and free speech. Muslim resistance is labeled as crazy and hysterical. We have a right to defend our integrity. We won’t stand being lied to about ourselves.
The US talking heads say, “Sorry!” for the fall out over the ridicule. Sorry does not exist in Mohawk, a natural language. It is an invented English word. Once said, we are forced to submit and to forget the wrong.
Forgiveness is another invention. We are supposedly a better person by forgiving someone who has harmed us.
A wrong does not magically fly away. The injustice should not have been done in the first place. In our way, the wrong doer faces their victims, takes full responsibility and makes it right to their full satisfaction.
The ugly truth about the biggest holocaust in all humanity of our people has been hidden. The liars’ club say because of freedom of speech they can lie to our faces while stealing our possessions.
Fictional films, books and stories about us are aimed at killing us one way or another. Every time an Indigenous woman is found dead, the media immediately spins propaganda that she was a “street worker”, to demean the character of all our women. To control us, they need to create an inferiority complex.
Ridiculing us for entertainment is an old strategy. Our women and children were murdered, their skin taken to make hats and leggings for themselves as a joke. The need to belittle and undervalue is the foundation of US comedy, to make people laugh at the horrible suffering of others. Their culture is designed to induce self-hatred and depression and selling products to cure it.
The tactic is to make us dislike ourselves and our own people by shaming us and attacking our self-esteem. Their education system tries to emotionally manipulate our children to accept abuse and say nothing about injustice.
Muslim resistance is threatening to expose this tactic. Americans and their Western partners fear revelation and answering for their reprehensible atrocities.
We are angry at the attempted continuation of their genocide. The ruling class don’t know how to deflect this anger. We refuse to exist in a contrived state of self-deprecation for the purpose of helping them deal with their anxiety over their brutality to us.
Colonial brats can be comforted by the words of songwriter Carol King: “And It’s too late baby. Now it’s too late. Though we really did try to make it, something inside has died and I can’t hide it. And I just can’t fake it.”

Project Gunrunner enters Oz phase with Attorney General denial

Project Gunrunner enters Oz phase with Attorney General's denial





ATF Project Gunrunner brochure, revised in 2008.

By Brenda Norrell
Censored News

http://www.bsnorrell.blogspot.com


TUCSON -- US Attorney General Eric Holder claims he didn’t know about Project Gunrunner‘s Fast and Furious. Maybe these reports will jog his memory.

There’s the Department of Justice report in 2010 which states that Project Gunrunner began in Laredo, Texas, during the Bush administration in 2005.
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/OIG_report.pdf

There’s the brochure of the assault weapons of Project Gunrunner published in 2008, circulated by an Arizona police officer, and exposed by Anonymous Lulzsec hackers:
http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2012/06/project-gunrunner-collapsed-media-cant.html

Perhaps Holder was sequestered in a monastery, and didn’t know about Project Gunrunner’s Wide Receiver, as exposed by Arizona Daily Star, with weapons flowing out of Tucson in 2006.

Perhaps the Attorney General isn’t lying. Maybe he just doesn’t know much.

Here’s the simple version: The ATF supplied drug cartels in Mexico with assault weapons. It was done under the guise of weapons tracking to see who would buy and use those weapons. Of course using those weapons meant people would be murdered with them. Lots of people were murdered. The US funded drug war in Mexico turned into one of the bloodiest wars of assassinations, torture and dismemberment.

The bottom line is people died on both sides of the border because of those weapons. No one cared until a white Border Patrol agent was murdered near Nogales, Ariz., with one of those weapons. An ICE agent, Jaime Zapata, was also murdered in northern Mexico with one of those weapons, but no one seemed to care much about that.

Maybe Holder can remember it now.

If not -- lets all click our heels together and visit Oz.
