Mohawk Nation News 'I am Dekanawida'

I AM DEKANAWIDA

mnnlogo1

This important story is being republished. Please post and distribute. Nia:wen.
MNN. Feb. 23, 2014/Nov. 9, 2014. Our messenger, Dekanawida, told us this story about the White, Red and Black Serpents just before he left us. Dekanawida referred to them as serpents because they slither underneath society.
"I am Dekanawida. With the statesman o the League of 5 Nation, I plant the Tree of Great Peace".
Wampum #1: “I am Dekanawida. With the statesman of the League of 5 Nation, I plant the Tree of Great Peace”.
The  white serpent is Free Masonry. In the future it will come to Great Turtle Island. “They will befriend the Onkwehonwe who have been given the task of teaching them how to follow the the Guswentha/Two Row Wampum and the Kaianerekowa, the Great Law of Peace. After seven generations of contact, the white serpent will have us squeezed so tight against his chest we can hardly breathe.”
“Then a red serpent will apear from the North. The white serpent will be startled and momentarily drop the Onkwehonwe, who will fall to the ground like a baby and crawl to the hilly country to heal. The white and red serpents will have a fierce fight that will tear open mother earth”. The red serpent is the Bavarian Illuminati. The fight they will have is World War I. “Then the white and red serpents will lay around for a while not knowing what to do after the great battle”. Dekanawida said, ” A false message disguised as a woman will be sent to the black serpent in the south, who came and took over the red and white serpents. Then all three will work together to make continual war against every nation on earth”. This is the New World Order [NATO] carrying out its plan.
Black corporate serpent dominates and then slithers away from Onkwehonwe.
Black corporate serpent dominates and then slithers away from Onkwehonwe.
The black serpent will always search worldwide and will make war with one country after another. The black serpent will always be searching to see who is next. Then only will he see the Onkwehonwe healing in the hilly country. He will say,  “I have no fight with them!”. Then a bright light many times brighter than the sun will come from the east. “The black serpent will see the light, be fearful and swim south, never again to be seen by the Onkwehonwe”. The red serpent will become fearful of the light and crawl to the north, leaving a snaily trail behind him, never to be seen again by the Onkwehonwe”. Part of the tail of the white serpent will break off and crawl to the hilly country to heal with the Onkwehonwe. The rest of the white serpent will make a feeble attempt to swim toward the light [NASA].
The serpents will all be gone. A messenger will appear. There will be peace on earth.
The serpents will all be gone. A messenger will appear. There will be peace on earth.
Dekanawida instructed, “You must go to the hilly country. When the time comes, burn tobacco, call my name and I will return. As the Kanionkehaka, people of the flint, have kept alive the Kaianerekowa, Great Law, a great messenger will emerge from them. His words will be heard by as many as the blades of grass at the same time. We are now healing. We will soon burn tobacco and call Dekanawida by name.
AS Pink Floyd advises, take a deep breath in through your nose and breathe and exhale through your mouth: Pink Floyd. “Breathe”.

Rally for Alexi Cruz, student detained in El Paso Immigration Center

Community Rallies for Alexi Cruz,
 Student Wrongly Detained in El Paso Immigration Center

Alexi, who came to the U.S. at 14, is eligible for DACA

El Paso, TX, November 10, 2014— Human Rights Organizer, student and father, Alexi Cruz was wrongly detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after his car broke down on the side of the road in Lordsburg, NM.  Alexi was racially profiled by the Sherriff there and is currently in an  ICE Detention Center in El Paso, Texas, despite being DACA eligible, and having no criminal record.  Immigrant Rights activist, Johana De Leon from Immigrant Youth Movement (SAYM) is puzzled by Alexi’s detention and states, “Alexi is eligible for DACA and as such he is not a priority for deportation. It has been routine for ICE officials to just release DACA eligible students, not detain them and try to deport them!”
Im/migrant & Indigenous Rights supporters in El Paso are calling on the community to stand in prayer and protest against this injustice.

Rally for the Release of Human Rights Activist 
& DACA eligible student, Alexi Cruz.
Prayer by Danza Azteca Omecoatl
Wednesday, November, 12th @ 4pm
@ El Paso ICE Field Office, 1545 Hawkins Blvd.
​
Alexi, indigenous with Yaqui and Mayo roots, came to the United States from Mexico when he was just 14-years old. As transcripts show, and provided to the Department of Homeland Security, Alexi attended high-school here in the United States and is clearly eligible for discretion under DACA. According to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, issued by the Obama Administration, young people like Alexi, who came to the United States before the age of 16 are not a priority for deportation.
Alexi has always been an outspoken defender of human rights: “He’s a wonderful person, no matter where we’ve lived he’s always been out there advocating for people. In some ways he is the perfect person for this injustice to happen to, we are hoping his story reaches others who are in this same situation of detention and deportation, and that it gives them hope to keep fighting” said, Anayanse Garza, his partner of 5 years. Alexi and Anayanse have a 2-year old daughter together and are anticipating Alexi’s release from detention with community support.
RAICES, Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, has agreed to provide Alexi Cruz with pro-bono representation.
TAKE ACTION: Sign the petition: http://raicestexas.org/alexi
Call to ICE in Washington D.C. @ 202-732-3000, Alexi Cruz (A#202-034-086)

Mohawk Nation News 'Bloody Remembrance'

BLOODY REMEMBRANCE

mnnlogo1
 Mohawk Nation News
Please post and distribute. Thank you.
MNN. Nov. 10, 2014. War is the bankers’ favorite theatre. November 11th is a celebration of war. Everybody gets a day off. Commemorations are televised of the past and present bloodletting. The bagpipes blare. Why do Scottish clad men marching with bagpipes symbolize Canada in national or state memorials? People buy poppies from kids, to keep war going. Recent alleged killing of two soldiers and the gunfight on Parliament Hill were timed for effect. War is sold by the warmongers by honoring those who have murdered. Remembrance Day is the biggest propaganda campaign for the continuance of World War I. The killing fields in Europe ended but war continued.
Warmonger Stephen Harper: "Weeee! We just wiped out some Iraqi villages!"
Warmonger Stephen Harper: Canadian Forces Harper.
There never has been a reason for Canada to be in any war. The Queens Privy Council and her appointed actors run the show in the colony of Canada disguised as a democracy. Their corporate entities, such as the band councils, run all business.
Red poppies symbolize blood. European bloodlines want your blood. Wearing these means you support war and bloodletting. All wars are banker wars. They send our young people and sacrifice them without even asking their mothers. The “tomb of the unknown soldier” is getting old. It’s always been a bad act. After 100 years we’re still falling for nineteen/twenty year olds being sacrificed by their Zionist money gods.
Poppies show visible public support for and celebration of war. Since World War I has been honored and celebrated on November 11, there have been 212 wars since.
Kids. This where your poppy money goes!
Kids. This is where your poppy money goes!
The first world peace agreement was signed in Montreal by us and France in 1701. In 1710 the Iroquois Confederacy sent four chiefs to the first world peace conference in London. Then we tried again in 1923. The Iroquois Confederacy sent Deskahe to the League of Nations to teach the Great Peace to stop all war. He was sponsored by eight sovereign nations, including Iran. Britain blocked every attempt for a year and a half every time it was his turn to speak. He was blocked from entering Canada by bloodline agent, Duncan Campbell Scott. He was subsequently murdered by agents of the crown and never allowed to return to his home at Six Nations.
Peace begins with the women of the world.
Peace begins with the women of the world.
It’s time for us to talk to about world peace again and to hold the THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ABOUT WORLD PEACE. We have the formula. This time, don’t kill the messenger!
John Wesley Harding gets it right: “The messenger came with bad news from the front/Said “the soldiers are starving and their swords are all blunt/They need a show of support or some futile sign/That’s what they told me to tell you, not even the words are mine...” Don’t kill the messenger.

Mohawk Nation News 'KAHNAWAKE, P.O.W. CAMP I.R. 14'

KAHNAWAKE, P.O.W. CAMP I.R. 14

mnnlogo1
Please post & distribute. Thank you.
MNN. Nov. 6, 2014. The timeline shows no surrender, treaty or permission by Mohawks to turn Kahnawake into a reserve. Under the military Corporation of Canada Kahnawake is a “Prisoner of War” Camp without walls for the Mohawks. It was created on October 25, 1924. The Mohawk Council of Kahnawake is governed under the Indian Act, which is the original 100-year plan to get rid of the “Indian problem in Canada” [Duncan Campbell Scott]. The POW camp is run by Indian Affairs and its corporate entity known as MCK. The corporation is firmly directed by their military war room at Indian Affairs in Ottawa/Hull on the 14th floor. Canada and the POW Camps are financed by our stolen Indian Trust Funds. The military’s main job is to protect the stolen treasury.
Geronimo, one of our greatest military strategists, imprisoned for defending the land and people.
Apache Geronimo on way to his POW camp. 
The original plan was to imprison our people so we would all perish. The CEO of the corporation of Canada is the Governor-General. He needs a military title for a military corporation. Each province has a military Lt. Governor, because they also are military corporations. Canada merged the military corporation and the state in 1867. Canada is the first corporate state, ISO #1366-2:CA.
“Ordo ab chao” is the strategy used by secret societies that are controlling the power structures, to keep the people’s minds divided [51%]. After enough confusion and chaos the people will demand a government solution to the problem created by the government using their own procedures in their jurisdiction.
Canada Border Patrol beating up elderly woman, causing heart attack.
Canadian Commandos beating up elders & causing heart attacks. 
Indian Affairs’ job is to keep the Indians corralled economically and socially in our POW camps, while they enjoy the vast abundance of our land. All western European countries under Vatican rule are a party to the biggest holocaust in all humanity.
Kahnawake is one of the most in-your-face territories in the world. It is next to Montreal, one of the largest metropolises in Canada. The puppet masters have always wanted us out of the way because of location, location, location. Also, they want to totally assimilate us to get rid of the land issues, by taking away our teachings, languages, culture, so we are no longer Ongwehonwe. They shall use fear as their ally and anger as their friend when dividing the people’s minds.
Lasagna: "I don't like this part of the treatment".
Lasagna: “Let’s do this right now, soldier boy!”.
In 1990 when we objected to the expansion of a golf course, we were invaded by the Canadian army, and placed in CFB Farnham army base after our arrest. In 2008 MNN editor, Kahentinetha, was arrested and assaulted by military commandos at the border crossing to the US. In the subsequent court case, the judge ruled he could not deal with the issue because she lives in Kahnawake and is not a resident of Canada.
We have been under martial law since 1924 while they rape and pillage all of our vast lands around us. We have always been here at the fork of the rivers that come from all directions on Great Turtle Island and meet here. The Mohawk community of Kahnawake is part of the larger soveregn Kanionkehaka territory of 20 million acres.
As Frank Zappa reminds us in his epic song “Flakes”: “We just call on the phone and call up some flakes. They rush on over and wreck it some more. And we’re so dumb they’re lining up at our door.” Frank Zappa. “Flakes”.
Kahnawake was not surrendered, there is no treaty and no permission to set up reserve. http://clss.nrcan.gc.ca/data-donnees/publications/indlanhisque-hisfonterindque/kahnawake_ang.pdf

CALIF: The Power of Big Money Overcomes the Power of the People

Goliath Wins Against David on Prop. 1 

Prop. 1 Passes: The Power of Big Money Overcomes the Power of the People
Winnemem Wintu Chief Caleen Sisk
Caleen Sisk, Chief and Spiritual Leader of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, said the water bond, peripheral tunnels, Shasta Dam raise and other water projects now being planned by the state and federal governments are in in reality "one Big Project" that will destroy salmon, rivers and groundwater supplies.

by Dan Bacher 
Censored News
Proposition 1, Governor Jerry Brown's $7.5 billion water bond, sailed to easy victory on November 4, as forecasted in a number of polls. 

The election results show how the power of millions of dollars of corporate money in the corrupt oligarchy of California were able to defeat a how a grassroots movement of fishermen, environmentalists, Indian Tribes and family farmers opposed to Prop. 1. 

The Hoopa Valley, Yurok, Winnemem Wintu and Concow Maidu Tribes, the defenders of California's rivers and oceans for thousands of years, strongly opposed Prop. 1. because of the threat the bond poses to water, salmon and their culture. (http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/11/04/18763767.php)
