ONTARIO TOWN DECLARES WAR ON NATIVES
The mayor of Brantford Ontario Canada, Mike Handcock has requested
military forces to silence impending Native protests. The issue is the
development of sovereign land owned by the Six Nations. Though non
Native documents foretell of an agreed land acquisition, Native history
disputes this land deal dating back to January 18, 1841. According to
Six Nations, back then the chiefs were coerced, deceived and
intimidated into signing away the land in question. This has been
common practice by settlers since time immemorial. Now, the local
government of Brantford wishes to raise the stakes by implementing the
use of Canadian military forces.
Imprisonment, violence and death have been the order of the day
when Aboriginal issues come to play as it is. After all the aboriginal
communities throughout the America’s has been the secret “third world”
since conquest. From putrid E-Coli infested drinking water to the
wholesale total disregard of treaties and business deals, Native’s have
been under siege. Yet like the situation in Burma, the world looks on
since this is just an internal matter.
The Métis of Black Tickle, Labrador only wanted clean drinking
water and a road to connect them to the Trans Labrador Highway. Their
dying community wanted just a piece of the budding tourist trade Canada
wants to foster. Their location was a perfect travel, hunting and
fishing location that would have improved the quality of this
beleaguered fishing community. But Canadian corporate interests have
other plans and relocation was the only option that was provided them.
Why couldn’t these Natives own and operate hotels, restaurants and
other tourist related interests in this pristine location? Now there is
not a peep about their plight. Another humble Native community shall
disappear from the face of the Earth.
The Western Shoshone are under siege since a gold mining company
wants to level a sacred mountain with total disregard for sovereign
land and treaties, go figure. A corporate pig farmer wants to build a
pig processing plant just outside of the Yankton Sioux Reservation in
South Dakota. With a half million swine producing hundreds of thousands
of pounds of crap they will have massive containment ponds within the
proximity of a Native school house on the other side of the
reservations borders. And what is the deal with Brazil anyway? They
used to justify the wholesale destruction of rain forests in order to
pay off this bogus World Bank. Untold Native’s were murdered in the
process. Now that Brazil has paid off their debt the Native’s are still
under siege since now the government wants to build housing tracts in
their pristine fishing and hunting land, villages and the like. There
is even a dam proposed that will displace thousands of villagers from
their native land. This is progress? Ah but who is paying attention
anyway.
Well, more people will be imprisoned and even killed in Ontario since
the Cavalry will be there to quell the Native problem with bullets.
Native’s will die protecting the last scrap of sovereign ground they
own and their bones will be crushed by bulldozers as construction of a
new condominium and housing tract is built, all in the name of
progress. And yuppers folks, it’s all about the money Paisan, it’s all
about the money.
