An Open Letter to Canada and All First Nation Leaders

It’s well known that Canada perpetuates discrimination against indigenous people at every level of government, but what does it mean when that discrimination causes the death of innocent people? Death that is enshrouded in bureaucracy, covered up by the government, and ignored by the so-called leaders?

Shelley Brant, from the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in southern Ontario, reaches for an answer in this open letter:

An Open Letter to Canada and All First Nation Leaders

Wednesday August 6th, 2008

The recent questionable killing of yet another First Nations man, Craig McDougall 26 by police in Winnipeg has led me to write this letter:

How many more inquiries and bodies is it going to take???? How many more unimplemented recommendations???? How many more police lies and cover-ups supported by the governments in this so called great country before people wake up to the truth????? How many more planted weapons in the media and on our own people?????

This is the list of First Nations people killed by police across Canada and some have led to inquiries and some haven’t and is probably not even a complete list:

Frank Paul, a 47-year-old Mik’maq man - Vancouver- Vancouver police officer dragged the man, soaking wet and unconscious, from the downtown holding cells and dumped him in an alley across town. - Paul had died of hypothermia accelerated by acute alcohol poisoning.

Dudley George, aged 38, - Ipperwash - Ontario - was killed by a police sniper during a Native land protest at Ipperwash Provincial Park.

Craig McDougall 26 - Winnipeg - shot 4 times by police while on a cell phone with his girlfriend.

Matthew Dumas, an 18-year-old Anishnabe, - Winnipeg - was pepper-sprayed, shot twice and killed by a Winnipeg Police officer.

Dennis St. Paul - Norway House Cree Nation reserve - Winnipeg - shot and killed by the RCMP.

Donald Miles - Winnipeg - shot and killed by police.

Howard Fleury - Winnipeg - shot and killed by police.

John Joseph Harper - Winnipeg - shot and killed by police.

Helen Betty Osbourne 16 - The Pas- police complicity in the murder case of Cree teen The Pas Manitoba.

Neil Stone child 17 - Saskatoon - inquiry was released, stating that the Saskatoon police investigation into the 1990 freezing death of the 17-year-old - Saskatoon.

Rodney Naistus and Lawrence Wegner - Saskatoon- whose bodies were also found on the outskirts of town in February, 2000

Geronimo Fobister at the Anishnabe - Ontario - reserve of Grassy Narrows

Lorraine Jacobsen 40 - British Columbia - on a Kwagiutl reserve at Alert Bay - shot and killed by police.

Gerald Chenery, a Nisga’ man - Vancouver - was shot 12 times and killed by two Vancouver cops

Michael Langan , Metis 19 - Winnipeg- Death by police taser

You stepped into Iraq with the U.S. because of a dictator who was killing his own people, yet there is no difference between mustard gas and police bullets, they are both a permanent means of death, which makes you no better!!!!!

Perhaps someone should invade Canada and come to the aid of the First Nations people in this country who are at the mercy of it’s governments and their police forces, just as Canada comes to the aid of people in other countries for the same reasons.

I will say right now that I am ashamed to live in a country so full of hatred and racism, to the point where you can’t even trust the very people who are suppose to protect you which are the police not to shoot to kill because you are a First Nations person. There is case after case after case of First Nations people being killed by police who lie and cover up their deaths, only for the ugly truth to come out later yet they get exonerated and you would like people to think these are isolated incidents. They are not, they are country wide and you turn a blind eye because it might stain your quaint reputation.

Well I am here to tell you: your secret is out and now we know why the U.N Declaration of Indigenous Rights did not get signed by Canada don’t we. It’s because in Canada we are not considered humans so therefore why should we have any rights that might empower us??????

It is quite apparent that the lives of First Nations people mean nothing in this country and I am ashamed to say it also doesn’t mean a lot to the Native leaders of this country either. If it did the people would not be left on their own to speak out on police killings or attempts, yet they remain silent, all except one group decrying the deaths of two recent First Nations men in Winnipeg.

My point???? This going on all across Canada and where is the public outcry from the First Nations leaders???????? It’s going on right here in Ontario, where is the public outcry from the First Nations leaders?????? Have we become so colonized and politicized that the human lives of our own people boil down to who they are???? Does one life means more than another????? Are we so afraid that we might not get a vote or that the government might deny us something that we can’t even speak out and stand up for what is wrong in this country together, even when life and death is at stake??????

Silence means consent as far as I am concerned and if we have lost the meaning and value of human lives, the lives of our own people then we have completely lost who we are as a people. We might as well quit the nation talk and quit the cultural talk and quit the talk about who we are as a people because they are just words, your actions as leaders of all the nations across this country tell me there is nothing left worthy of fighting for. The only things left are an illusion and come from the outside, which has no meaning when it comes to being a First Nations person in this country. I will stand here today and say that I am no longer proud to be a Mohawk woman whose leaders can’t even stand up and do what’s right for their own people and that goes for the rest of the leaders across the country too.

I hang my head in shame at both this country and the First Nations leaders it has produced who would rather be silent than stand together with their own people who are systematically being killed by the police in this country!!!!!!!!!

Canada you can take your apology and stick it where the sun don’t shine because they are just mere words that mean nothing and perhaps in another 100 years rather than do something about the deaths of First Nations people at the hands of police now, you can apologize again!!!!!!

Unrepenetent: Canada's genocide

I love Canada. Love the land. Love the people.

But I have no illusions about the government there, especially the government/church alliance.

Interestingly, the book "Thy Will Be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil" traces the roots of the US "residential" school system for Native children to a Rockefeller family initiative.

After being pushed to remote areas, it was discovered that Native people were sitting on massive mineral and oil deposits.

Thus began the US program of removing Native children from their families, punishing them for speaking their native languages, and subjecting them to all forms of abuse.

Apparently, the idea migrated to Canada.

My big essay on child pedophilia/Henry Makow essay

I am posting this with a caveat.

Some people mentioned have indeed been called into question in Canadian society for the TYPE of whistle blowing that they do. I have myself met one of them and don't hold his morality in his esteem. Kevin Annett is NOT held in high esteem by some of us women who have come into contact with him, and I have gone to the Truth Commission to tell them what happened to me when I contacted him and what happened when I met him. That jerk didn't even sell me the book!

Canada is a moral hypocrite. My story studied in any detail will tell you that. Whether my story and my son's will EVER have a happy ending is .. um .. doubtful. Now they are trying to call me schizophrenic and slap me in the hospital. The psychiatrist, who WAS moral, that we had for years is retired. The only thing standing between me and captivity at this hour is my GP, who knows the whole tale. What she can do about is .. NOTHING.

I have been fighting against government sexual abuse of young people for over TWO DECADES. I get no support and it's no damned fun. In fact, it's amazing I haven't offed myself in frustration. I met victims first in the UK, met more in the US and plenty here. The people who work in "the industry" are the worst of all.

I am convinced that until we break the hold of The Patriarchy now of this is going to CHANGE. I've resigned myself (more or less) to crone hood, and even my so-called friends who work in the social services, two of whom I helped get their jobs, are completely morally bankrupt and yet have total POWER over their clients. I asked them both to go see Kevin Annett and watch the film and BOTH refused although they work with the native community.

Bashing away at those with the power does no good. We must build real COMMUNITY, which is nearly impossible as survivors have few to no communications skills. Even the 12-step network doesn't have a fellowship for violence victims! They can't keep it together to build a fellowship. They must be brought together in other ways. Sad to say, in AA discussion of sexual abuse is STILL TABOO.

I could run a University course on what I have seen and lived, but that will never be. I can only hope that this blog retains my records of what I have figured out and for that I must rely on GOD - the only clear course that I can see at all. I wrote an entire book on my experience, my strength and my hopes . and of course, it was illegally thrown away and the perpetrated NEVER BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. So now I just blog instead. But one day, God willing my real first hand story will be told, maybe not until I am dead and gone, but hopefully one day.

Not one person who has perpetrated injustice on me or my son has even done a single day in jail. And those who could have helped us build a better life refused to do so. One name in particular still sticks in my craw.

I cry extensively every blessed day - and I get no responsible medical care despite a mandate that they do so. I am almost the Perfect Survivor, only my suicide attempt a few weeks ago has really laid me low.

IMHO, people just do not, do NOT give a shit at all.

I COULD I suppose write a magazine article-length reply to what is posted here - from my WOMAN's point of view.

One comment that comes to mind is that research shows that judges and doctors are the mostly likely to be "sex-addicted". They have no moral compass except when it comes to OTHERS.

Another is that the plan for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are just FULL OF SLEEZE. I'd like to go there and protest but I probably will be too sick and broke to get there.

Another comment is this: I call and call those lawyers who represented me in my refugee case. All refuse to call me back and help, even though they made thousands of dollars representing us. Feels REAL BAD. If you read this, you have no idea.

If you think Henry Makow or these are interested in helping me expose my story and helping us out, GUESS AGAIN. Sure would prove interesting though.

Pedophile Illuminati: Police State Pederasts...all over this world.

From RENSE.com:


When Pedophile Judges Fear Exposure

By Henry Makow PhD

5-7-8

Under a thin veneer of Law, we are governed by a secret network of traitors, pedophiles, Satanists and criminals, masquerading as prominent lawyers and judges, politicians, businessmen and police chiefs.

They are often Freemasons who derive their power from the central banking cartel based in London which controls the mass media and seeks to impose its tyranny in the guise of "world government."

If you don't believe me, you've probably never heard the names Renate Andres-Auger, Jack Cram and Bruce Clark. They are Vancouver lawyers who were dragged from the courtroom, drugged, disbarred and committed to mental hospitals when they attempted to expose this clique in the 1990's.

CITY CONFIDENTIAL

Beautiful Vancouver B.C., site of the 2010 Winter Olympics, was described by the "Christian Science Monitor" in 1997 as "a pedophiles' paradise," a place known for its "notorious sex trade," with an international reputation "as a city where it is easy to find a child for sex." In 1999, UNESCO named Vancouver one of the world's top three centers for sex trafficking, child porn and pedophilia because of "suspected judicial protection for child sex offenders."

In 1994, Renate Andres-Auger, an aboriginal lawyer and single mother of six girls, found irregularities in a land claim case that were very damning to the judicial process. She also charged certain judges and lawyers with a criminal conspiracy to aid and protect pedophiles. She and her own lawyer Jack Cram presented evidence, including photographs and eye witness accounts that two Supreme Court judges were engaged in pedophilia and were using their office to protect other pedophiles. She named the prestigious "Vancouver Club" as a center of this pedophile ring. (Kevin Annett, "Hidden From History: The Canadian Holocaust," p. 147-150)

The Judge ordered Auger removed from the court. "The sheriffs dragged Andres-Auger out of the court and you could hear her thumping down the stairs behind the judge's bench." Then the Judge ordered the sheriffs to remove her lawyer Jack Cram. Police were called to clear the courtroom of about 80 supporters. According to a press release (http://sisis.nativeweb.org/clark/cram.html), this is what happened when Cram took the cause to the public:

"One night at about 11:30 p.m., after finishing a radio interview, Mr. Cram returned home, parked his car, and while walking to his apartment building five policemen emerged out of the bushes and leaped on him. He was put in an unmarked van and as soon as they got him in they "shot him full of something" and he was transported to the psychiatric ward of Vancouver General Hospital -- as a "no information" patient.

SAVING JACK CRAM

"When the committee found out where Mr. Cram was, they had to go to Prince George, some 800 kms away, to find a lawyer who would file a habeas-corpus writ to release Mr. Cram but it was never used as Mr. Cram was again, unexpectedly, released after being held this time for 7 days.

"Mr. Cram went directly from the psychiatric ward to a meeting of the committee ... He was still under the effects of the drugs that had been administered to him up until about two hours prior to his release. But he was able to explain everything that had happened. It was two of his closest associates, one of which was the one who had bad mouthed him on TV, that signed papers to have Mr. Cram committed.


"After a trial, the court disbarred him for a year and fined him $10,000. He was bankrupt and had lost his practice. Cram moved to his ranch in Princeton, a community about 130 km north of Vancouver.


"According to Judge Gibbs, in making his recent judgment on Dr. Clark's appeal, said "after [Mr. Cram] received treatment for his paranoid-delusions mental illness, he subsequently dropped all his court cases that he had started in his delusional phase" and one of the conditions for returning to the bar after one year was that he continue to receive psychiatric treatment for that year. Mr. Cram could have been jailed for three months if he didn't receive the treatment or defaulted on paying the fine."

Renate Andres-Auger has gone underground. Law Society of BC official James Taylor, who disbarred Andres-Auger and Cram, became a BC Supreme Court judge and issued an injunction in 2002 against mentioning the pedophile charges.

Ed John, a native leader accused of using Mafia tactics, and running cocaine and child prostitution rings, was actually named Minister of Child and Family Services in the NDP (socialist) provincial government in 2000. The injunction also covered any mention of these charges.

COMMENTS ON THIS SHAMEFUL EPISODE

Deborah Wade, a founder of Amnesty International in Vancouver, said in 1999 (http://www.preferrednetwork.com/Pedophilia_In_Vancouver.htm):

"The Cram/Andres-Auger story, to this day, remains a very strange and fearful tale of alleged corruption and pedophilia in high places. It is also a story which has never yet been completely told. Perhaps if it were, along with a few other strange stories, we as Canadians would have little reason to gasp at the exposure of pedophile rings in Belgium operating in high places two years ago. The matter of cover-ups possibly existing for those in high places in Canada is becoming more and more credible as more and more people speak out."

In 2007 Anthony Hall, a professor at the University of Lethbridge, commented in "Canadian Dimension" magazine:

"No public investigation into the treatment and accusations of Andres-Auger and Cram ever took place. We can only speculate, therefore, on the circumstances behind such a dramatic collapse of dignity and due process in the criminal-justice system. Certainly it is made to seem probable that some highly placed group or individual believed that he, she, or they had a great deal to lose if Andres-Auger and Cram had been able to press charges."

Hall relates how in 1995, when lawyer Bruce Clark (http://sisis.nativeweb.org/clark/currvit.html)tried to make a legal argument on behalf of Aboriginal clients, an incident transpired in a rural B.C. court similar to when Andres-Auger and Cram tried to bring their evidence forward. Clark was taken into custody and sent to an institution for a compulsory psychological examination.

This is how dissidents were treated in another Illuminati satrap, the USSR. Granted these events took place 13-14 years ago, but you can bet they created a chill that continues today.

CONCLUSION

The Illuminati has a vital interest in using Native leadership to confiscate Aboriginal land and water, and to operate drug trafficking and pedophile rings. That's why lawyers who attempted to represent ordinary Natives incurred the wrath of these (moral) reptiles. That's when the mask slipped, and we had a glimpse of the ugly reality of our society.

Another man to watch is Kevin Annett (http:// www.hiddenfromhistory.org), a United Church (Methodist-Presbyterian) minister who was kicked out of the church for investigating systemic murder of Native children in church-run residential schools. He is leading a crusade to force the Canadian government and churches to acknowledge genocide. Canadians are outspoken about recognizing other nations' genocides.


"If genocide can happen to to Indian people today, it can happen to you tomorrow," Annett writes in his book, "Love and Death in the Valley." "Especially if you rely on the government and corporate system that has robbed them for so long."


The experience of Andres-Auger, Cram, Clark and Annett shows that when it comes to freedom, truth and justice, we live in an hypocritical and decadent society. Banker-Masonic control infects our society like a cancer paralyzing mind and spirit.

The Truth Commission update on Maissonueve (press roundup)

150 Years of Abuse, 5 Years of Truth

April 29, 2008

Funded by Ottawa and carried out by churches, the systematic assimilation of natives through residential schooling is a tragic, unsettling piece of Canadian history. As part of an out-of-court settlement that will pay out some $2 billion to survivors of the native school system, the government promised to set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to record the tragedy for the history books. On Monday, Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl announced that Justice Harry LaForme will be its chair. LaForme, a member of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation of southern Ontario, is tasked with writing the “official history” of residential schools over the course of the commission’s five-year mandate. “Ultimately, we all want to make sure we achieve a fair and lasting resolution to the sad legacy of residential schools,” he said, as quoted in a CBC News article. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will serve as a nationwide forum for former aboriginal students, church representatives, and educators to tell their stories. The aim is, in short, to educate Canadians on the impact the residential school system had on some 150,000 aboriginal, Inuit and Métis children who were removed from their communities at age six and forced to attend these schools, where they fell victim to widespread physical and sexual abuse.

LaForme’s $60-million commission will be independent from government, church, and First Nations groups, and will have “unfettered access” to all archives as it explores the 150-year history of residential schools. The task is characterized as monumental, as many former students and school employees are long dead, and many key documents and records have been destroyed. LaForme sees similarities between Canada’s Indian residential schools and South African apartheid, reports the Globe. The commission is, after all, modeled on the commission in South Africa, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, that explored that country’s policy of segragating black people from white. Strahl indicated that the government plans to make a formal apology to the ninety thousand victims and their families before Parliament breaks for the summer, reports the Post. The commission will be formally established on June 1.
