SPIES SPOOKED
MNN. Dec. 23, 2007. Three intrepid MNN reporters were invited to Pembroke to cover a meeting of Algonquins. It was held in the Knights of Columbus Hall, which doesn’t sound good. It was ostensibly to discuss their main current problems of illegal uranium mining and the fake “Algonquin” negotiators of their land claims. They were also battling the racist Ontario Federation of Hunters and Anglers for their hunting rights. They won a court case which was appealed successfully by another government department. All this turned out to be a front for “Operation Red Death”, known as “Red Ops”.
Mohawks were invited by the Algonquins to work with them. Both are concerned about the Ottawa and St. Lawrence River watershed which goes right by Kanehsatake, Kahnawake, Akwesasne and Tyendinaga. The big mystery is why doesn’t the health of the environment in this heavily populated area interest the Canadian government?
ACT I. OPENING. We were greeted enthusiastically by the first operative we will call “the moth”. He looked a bit like a cleric. The drummer invited us to sit in the circle. They opened the meeting in the Algonquin language. In the middle were a drum and three drummers. They were genuine. The Algonquins are mostly hunters and fishermen from the back woods.
Then along came Mike “Want-to-be-Eastwood” Swinwood who got up and started the “hootenanny”.
While we natives sat around in our plain apparel, Mike Swinwood, a non-native, who thought he was running the show, was dressed up in a cape with gold and silver rings on every finger of both hands, including his thumbs. He was wearing an unusual under garment where the sleeves had a thumb hook, like a woman’s costume. This is “Goth” wear. He looked like a character sent over by “central casting” for a failed B movie. We thought he was trying to imitate Clint Eastwood. One of the reporters was immediately suspicious of his get-up and demeanor and started giggling. The other two told her, as hard as it was, to “keep a straight face”.
We quickly saw that we had strolled into a set up, the nature of which soon became apparent, about five minutes into the performance. He was the “great white hope” and he thought we were the bit players.
A kindhearted old man who obviously had little to spare, went out and bought us coffee and donuts. The strategy is to not have coffee and food so that people will become hungry, uncomfortable and restless so that the “operative” can get what he wants.
We deduced that this operation is probably going on everywhere that corporations are trying to claim our fair land and resources. Planners want to confuse, destroy and control the legitimate debate on real Indigenous issues. It was meant to be a waste of time for the Algonquins. The orchestrators emphasized “unity”, “universalism”, and off-the-wall crackpot spirituality called “new-age-speak”. It was put out as false piety and false humility. Swinwood works closely with Father Michael Stogre who wrote “That You May believe - the Development of Papal Thought on Aboriginal Rights”. The papacy seems to think it has the low-down on everything and they are going to tell us how the world work - the Gospel according to them.
Intelligence gathering was part of it. It all goes into a data bank built on the assumption that intelligence is a rare commodity that can only be found in sacred places like the Vatican, London, Paris and Washington. He talked glibly but said nothing. He sort of skated around in front of us. We stared at him, like we were at the “Ice Capades” at the Bell Center in Montreal .
“You’re going to hear things you’ve never heard before”, said he. This is when we realized an old strategy had been repackaged. It’s called “Operation Pacification”. In the grand old Christian tradition they were presenting themselves as personal prophets of Dekanawida and they had a message for us. Get it?
Swinwood mentioned the “white buffalo calf” prophecy but did not expound on it. He said he worked pro bono with the Blackfeet in Alberta . He did not mention his foray into Akwesasne about two years ago where he held the same kind of “tent” meeting at the Akwesasne Kateri Hall. Did the Pope give him a deal? Is he getting hefty donations from the Catholic Church? Did he fall into a time machine and think he could do 18th Century conversions to save us all from hell-fire and damnation?
This was just too much. The Mohawks started laughing and giggling through the whole play. His two cohorts were Pierre Fournier and Tony Hall of the University of Lethbridge . These scam artists wanted us to give them money. His adventures among the Mohawks fell flat. Fournier died shortly after and Tony abandoned the “Good Ship Lolly Pop”. Now Swinwood says he’s devoting himself to the Algonquins [according to University of Lethbridge website he works with the Jesuits who, as we know, are the “soldiers of the Catholic Church responsible for warfare”]. How did the Algonquins get so lucky?
The whole purpose of Red Ops is to get 50 signatures from various communities so they can move forward on us. He calls it the “League of Indian Nations of North America ”. Pierre Fournier, also a non-native, claimed to have been born in the middle of a longhouse right in front of a clan mother and was therefore “sovereign” [Could he instantly walk on water?]
On one side of the circle sat Mike “Wannabe Clint” Swinwood, “Feel Good” Jane and an old man with a beard [no it wasn’t St. Nick].
The Algonquins have 9 million or more acres of unsurrendered land. Is it Indian Affairs, CSIS, CIA, MI-5, the Catholic cleric brigade or some corporate entity or a bunch nuts or all of them? Mike lives in a ritzy section of Almonte near Ottawa and no one knows how he makes a living. He works pro bono for all kinds of Indigenous groups. He did not ask the Algonquins for money because he knows they’ are poor as church mice.
ACT II. NITTY GRITTY DIRT. Then Swinwood called up Feel Good Jane to the stage. She talked about her dreams and visions which also touched on the theme of unity. She said she awoke from her dream with bruises all over the side of her body. She had one dream and promised another is coming probably in 30 days, just in time for the next meeting.
A young guy got up and reinforced the prophecy, visions and unity theme. Then a woman who said she was a “Commanche law student” got up and gave a sob story on the past hurts of the “Indians” in the U.S. and Canada , from a script. She urged us to regress and keep thinking about how bad we’ve been treated. Her intended effect was to keep us dwelling on the past and never moving forward. It’s hard to say whether she was a trainee for CSIS or the church, but we noticed she had a French-Canadian accent. Is this getting weird?
They refused to deal with the crisis at hand and never answered any questions. Instead Swinwood, known as the “asset” in the Red Ops game tried to keep the meeting on the intended agenda of pacification.
How does Red Ops work? The government or agency that has targeted a group finds a “handler” who trains and guides the “assets”. CSIS has an Indigenous sector that appears to coordinate with Indian Affairs and anybody else who wants to do us in. The asset is the point man who infiltrates the group and sets up the meetings and sends out the invitations. He brings with him his lower level “assets”. In this case there were five. Each one had a script that appeared to have been rehearsed and followed ‘religiously’. They barely noticed the Algonquins themselves.
Then each asset, on cue, by “Dirty Harry” Swinwood, waving an eagle feather, would get up and reinforce the theme of unity, prophecy, universalism and to join his movement. “Good, Bad & Ugly” Swinwood wants to represent them in their dealings with governments and corporate agencies. He needed their permission by the end of the meeting so Algonquins can put their fate into his ringed fingers. Do they think we don’t know that universalization is the “One World Order”?
Everyone sat there mesmerized and zoned out until one of the reporters got up and spoke. They mentioned basically how the Mohawks took the bull by the horns and dismantled five land claims by New York State without using lawyers. They were encouraged to use their own minds and stop relying on dirty rotten lawyers and other dubious pro bono types. Stick to Indigenous law and don’t let anyone lead us into secret deals like “side bars”, “caveats” and “without prejudice” letters.
When it was over, the guy with the beard, who appeared to be the evaluator of his protégé, Swinwood, came over and said to MNN, “I know what you did. You just undid everything” and then walked away.

Then Feel Good Jane handed out her latest slicked up and expensively made CD on the theme of universalism, bitching, crying, moaning and sad stories all meant to reinforce their agenda of sadness and no hope. The effect was to keep us thinking about the past hurt inflicted on us by sicko colonists and to keep us stuck in this zoned-out space. It’s meant to keep us from facing reality, using our minds and fighting for our rights. They’re trying to keep us “fogged up” while they rob us blind. Throughout “The “Moth” was signaling the “assets” like a maestro, thinking we did not see him doing it. They want to sabotage our momentum.
ACT III. FADE TO BLACK. Swinwood quickly left because his applecart was upset. All we could see was his poncho flapping in the wind as he flew out into the cold night air like a dirty skunk, obviously scared of running into the great Indigenous sage, Red-X, who doesn’t have a fancy house in Almonte.
He probably sped to his handlers to give them a report on “how successful the meeting was”. We are hoping this is the end of their bag of lies. We aren’t expecting it because you have to be a Christian to believe in Santa Claus. Can things get weirder? Stay tuned! FIN.
