Followup on Obama’s “Final Solution”

Response to Mentally Challenged Americans (who do not understand the Constitution of the United States of America)

My statements and video regarding President Obama’s “Final Solution” to the “Indian Problem” have generated a lot of response, about 10 to 1 in agreement. So, this message is directed at the 10% of our readers who do not yet understand our history and the significance of President Obama’s statements.

While many people point out the President Obama was referring to the Tribes of Palestine or the Tribes of Israel, or just using the word willy-nilly; we disagree. The ONLY “Lines of Tribes” in America are those of the American Indians.

Other people have pointed out that President Obama has spoken to Indian groups and invited “Native Journalists to the White House” and Tribal Councils to the inauguration. Below is a common response that I will address.

With all due respect, why would Obama invite his newly adopted Crow parents to the White House for the Inauguration? Why would he invite a team of Native journalists to accompany him the week before the Inauguration? If he was going to dissolve the sovereignty, why did he invite all of the tribal councils to meet with him in Washington? Why didn’t he just ignore them like every other politician has ever done?

I am not saying he is NOT going to dissolve sovereignty, I am just curious. I am going to forward this on to one of the Native journalists, Jodi Rave, who was on that traveling team with Obama and ask her what she thinks. I think she will have better insight into these questions than I will. And in the meantime, I think it is better to know the answers to those questions before one spreads hate and dissension. I have seen radical activists make things worse because they assumed it was better to go full steam ahead into attacks. It is toooooooo early in the game to make these assumptions. I am not saying ignore it, I am staying, watch and wait. Its very early in the game.

In the meantime, here is her blog from her trip. There is a lot amount of stuff about the Crow tribe participation. Start from the bottom up. http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=59108769417&h=dSZGc&u=xl_MP

Dear C.R. and others yet sleeping,

It is evident that you have not read, or at least not understood, Einstein’s definition of Insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

As a Lakotah/Dakota and Crow Indian, I don’t have the time, nor the desire to explain colonialism to you. I will point out the insidious and self-destructive nature of the colonized mindset.

Those “Natives Journalists” mentioned above who were invited to Washington, D.C. are part of an ongoing conspiracy to sell out the American Indians. The Tribal Councils invited by Obama are also known as the “Tribal Government” or, in a more sophisticated society, “Colonial Puppets” and “Vichy Indians.” “Native American” is U.S.A. “Newspeak” term used to identify all its indigenous prisoners which include, but are not limited to, the Marshall Islands, Palau, Micronesia, American Samoa, Aluetes, Inupiats, Yupiks, Hawaiians and American Indians.

You say “watch and wait.” While you and the rest of the World have been watching and waiting, these “Natives” are, and have been, aiding and abetting the continual loss of our People, our Land, our mineral rights, and our water rights. And all along, the government denies us redress as in the Cobell case. (http://www.indiantrust.com/)

The history of the U.S.A.’s genocidal policies spans all 43 past presidents. How can we be expected to trust the 44th president?

George Washington…
In 1779, George Washington instructed Major General John Sullivan to attack Iroquois people. Washington stated, “lay waste all the settlements around…that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed”. In the course of the carnage and annihilation of Indian people, Washington also instructed his general not to “listen to any overture of peace before the total ruin of their settlements is effected”. (Stannard, David E. AMERICAN HOLOCAUST. New York: Oxford University Press, 1992. pp. 118-121.)

In 1783, Washington’s anti-Indian sentiments were apparent in his comparisons of Indians with wolves: “Both being beast of prey, tho’ they differ in shape”, he said. George Washington’s policies of extermination were realized in his troops behaviors following a defeat. Troops would skin the bodies of Iroquois “from the hips downward to make boot tops or leggings”. Indians who survived the attacks later re-named the nation’s first president as “Town Destroyer”. Approximately 28 of 30 Seneca towns had been destroyed within a five year period. (Ibid)

Thomas Jefferson…
In 1807, Thomas Jefferson instructed his War Department that, should any Indians resist against America stealing Indian lands, the Indian resistance must be met with “the hatchet”. Jefferson continued, “And…if ever we are constrained to lift the hatchet against any tribe, ” he wrote, “we will never lay it down till that tribe is exterminated, or is driven beyond the Mississippi.” Jefferson, the slave owner, continued, “in war, they will kill some of us; we shall destroy all of them”. (Ibid)

In 1812, Jefferson said that American was obliged to push the backward Indians “with the beasts of the forests into the Stony Mountains”. One year later Jefferson continued anti-Indian statements by adding that America must “pursue [the Indians] to extermination, or drive them to new seats beyond our reach”. (Ibid)

Abraham Lincoln…
In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln ordered the execution, by hanging, of 38 Dakota Sioux prisoners in Mankato, Minnesota. Most of those executed were holy men or political leaders of their camps. None of them were responsible for committing the crimes they were accused of. Coined as the Largest Mass Execution in U.S. History. (Brown, Dee. BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE. New York: Holt, Rinehart, Winston, 1970. pp. 59-61)

Theodore Roosevelt…
The fourth face you see on that “Stony Mountain” is America’s first twentieth century president, alleged American hero, and Nobel peace prize recipient, Theodore Roosevelt. This Indian fighter firmly grasped the notion of Manifest Destiny saying that America’s extermination of the Indians and thefts our their lands “was ultimately beneficial as it was inevitable”. Roosevelt once said, “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn’t like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth”.

In Gaza, the reported statistics are 65% unemployment and an average life expectancy for males of about 73 years. On the Pine Ridge Sioux Indian Reservation, the unemployment rate is over 80% and the average life expectancy for men is just 44 years, lower even than Haiti. This county, Shannon, is the poorest in the U.S. What the government has done to the Indians is a holocaust worse than what the Nazis perpetrated. In 1492, it is estimated that the Indian population was between 12 and 20 million. By the 1900 census, this figure had been reduced to 250,000 full-bloods. Now there is even less. An extermination rate both greater in absolute numbers and percentage population than what happened to the Jews and Gypsies in Germany.

Yet this extermination is celebrated in the media and movies with notions of “manifest destiny”, “westward expansion” and the totally inaccurate portrayal of Indians as savages. Clearly the European invaders were the savages!

Need I say more on this?

Now, it’s not just the American Indian I am concerned about, it is ALL Americans. You should be alarmed with Obama’s economic and financial planning which will guarantee that you and yours will soon be reduced to the same abject poverty we have been enduring for more than a century. Welcome to the U.S.A Reservation!

Obama Announces “Final Solution” to the “Indian Problem”

The inaugural address is THE most important speech a President EVER makes. Billions of People look at it. The speech is written over a period of many weeks by a whole team of writers. It is edited and re-edited. Each word and each phrase is scrutinized so as to not offend anyone. Click to View the VIDEO.

“For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and non-believers.” He has placed our successful AND peaceful way of life and Spirituality into the category of “Non-Believers!”

Then he uses the phrase “the lines of tribes shall soon dissolve.” What does he mean? Certainly, NOT the tribes of Israel. Who, but the American Indians are referred to as Tribes? We are the ONLY ones.

Obama’s “Final Solution” to the centuries-old “Indian Problem” is total dissolution. Click to View the VIDEO.

Means Files Injunction in Fish-in

Text of Federal Injunction Filed in Rapid City on October, 14, 2008

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

Plaintiff Russell Means now moves this Court to enter a preliminary injunction to stay the two state court actions presently pending against Mr. Means (State v. Means, Citation No. K243509, pending in the Circuit Court for the State of South Dakota, and State v. Means, No. 08-16162, in the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court for the County of Pennington in Rapid City, South Dakota), on the grounds that Mr. Means can establish a likelihood of success on the liability of his claims that the two state court actions violate treaty rights between the United States and the Lakotah Sioux Nation, and that Mr. Means will suffer irreparable harm if the two state court actions are not stayed.

In support hereof, Mr. Means relies on the Verified Complaint filed herewith and the reasons set forth below.

There are currently pending in the state courts of South Dakota two criminal actions against Mr. Means which violate treaties between the Lakotah Sioux Nation and the United States and which hence violate the Constitution of the United States. Mr. Means has established a likelihood of success on the merits.

The Lakotah Sioux Nation has entered into two Treaties with the United States which establish the controlling law in this matter.

On September 17, 1851, the Lakotah Sioux Nation, among other Indian Nations, entered into a Treaty with the United States known as the Fort Laramie Treaty. (Attached to the Verified Complaint is a Exhibit A is a true and complete copy of said Treaty.)

Article V of the 1851 Treaty provided in pertinent part: It is, however, understood that, in making this recognition and acknowledgment, the aforesaid Indian nations do not hereby abandon or prejudice any rights or claims they may have to other lands; and further, that they do not surrender the privilege of hunting, fishing, or passing over any of the tracts of country heretofore described.

Thus, by the 1851 Treaty, the Lakotah Sioux Nation retained the right to travel over the land where Mr. Means received the ticket, and the State of South Dakota lacked authority to impose any restrictions upon Mr. Means’ right, and retained the right to fish in the area where Mr. Means is charged with fishing without a license.

In 1868, the United States entered into another Treaty with, among other Indian Nations, the Lakotah Sioux Nation. (Attached to the Verified Complaint as Exhibit B is a true and complete copy of said Treaty). By this treaty, the United States, among other binding promises, recognized the Black Hills as being set aside for exclusive use by the Sioux people.
Article 17 of the 1868 Treaty provided:
It is hereby expressly understood and agreed by and between the respective parties to this treaty that the execution of this treaty and its ratification by the United States Senate shall have the effect, and shall be construed as abrogating and annulling all treaties and agreements heretofore entered into between the respective parties hereto, so far as such treaties and agreements obligate the United States to furnish and provide money, clothing, or other articles of property to such Indians and bands of Indians as become parties to this treaty, but no further.

Thus, the 1868 Treaty did not abrogate any of the sovereignty and land agreements of the 1851 Treaty.
“All courts, state and national must take judicial notice and be governed by a Treaty of the United States as a law of the land.” United States v. Rauscher, 119 US 407, 419-20 (1886)(Emphasis added). See also Maiorano v. Baltimore & O.R.R.Co., 213 US 268 (1909)(“Treaty, within limits of treaty making power, by express words of Art. VI, cl. 2, is Supreme Law of Land, binding alike national and state courts, is capable of enforcement, and must be enforced by them in litigation of private rights.’”)

Since a Treaty is the Supreme law of the land, this Court must both take judicial notice of, and apply in this case, the 1851 Treaty which prohibits this state from restricting Mr. Means’ right to travel over the land at issue since he had a Treaty right to travel over the land.

The State of South Dakota had no power or authority to impose limitations upon Mr. Means right to travel freely over the area in question. The State of South Dakota had no power or authority to impose limitations upon Mr. Means right to fish in the area in question.
Mr. Means has also established irreparable harm if the requested relief is not granted. A violation of a Constitutional provision per se constitutes irreparable harm. This is an issue of public importance which requires this Court’s intervention.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that this Court Court grant him the requested relief.

Criminal Indictment for Fish-in at Sheridan Lake

APNewsNow.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) American Indian activist and actor Russell Means has gone to court over a Black Hills fishing protest.

Prosecutors charged Means for fishing without a license after an August protest at Sheridan Lake. Means responded by filing a federal lawsuit, asking for a preliminary injunction. He argues that the charge is a violation of the 1851 Fort Laramie Treaty.

Means makes the same argument about his January citation for driving with a suspended license in Tripp County. Under the treaty, Means says the Sioux did not surrender their hunting, fishing and traveling privileges in western South Dakota to the federal government.

Information from: Argus Leader, http://www.argusleader.com (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) APNP 10-15-08

Ignoring decades of fishing rights cases AND the Treaty of 1868, Larry Long, South Dakota Attorney General, has indicted Russell for his non-violent act of fishing at Sheridan Lake in August. This is an outrageous and desperate attempt to usurp the jurisdiction of the Federal Government in Treaty Issues.

Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868,

‘The exclusive right of taking fish in all the streams, where running through or bordering said reservation, is further secured to said confederated tribes and bands of Indians, as also the right of taking fish at all usual and accustomed places, in common with citizens of the Territory, and of erecting temporary buildings for curing them; together with the privilege of hunting, gathering roots and berries, and pasturing their horses and cattle upon open and unclaimed land.’

1942 United States Supreme Court Ruling, “Viewing the treaty in this light we are of the opinion that the state is without power to charge the Yakimas a fee for fishing.”
