HOT FLASH! The Infinite “Red-X” discovers Secret Instruction Manual: "Advanced Strategies on Stealing Indigenous Resources” - TWO DIRTY COLONIAL REPTILES - CHRIS “ODB” REID & ROBIN “ROTTEN EGG” AITKEN CITED AS SLIMEY “AUTHORITIES”
MNN. Mar. 4, 2008. “All the tricks of the colonists are now revealed”, sayeth the infamous Indigenous sage, Red-X. “It’s a manual on how to try to cash in on our land and resources”. It was used at Dehcho and it looks like they’re fine tuning it at Sharbot Lake too.
Here are some of the key hints on their dirty tricks and how to counter them.
Colonial Dirty Trick #1: Call it “democracy” and make sure you keep control. Invite the Indigenous to conferences on “self-governance”. Make sure they go to lots of fancy cocktail parties with open bars, with colonial big-wigs like Governor General Michaelle Jean and other “heavies. Give them tiaras to try on and a taste of “life in the fast lane”. Make sure they’re too drunk to notice they’ve sold out their people.
Colonial Dirty Trick #2. Make sure Indigenous are
outnumbered three to one at every meeting. Red-X
says, “Don’t go to Ottawa, Vancouver or Kingston or
any big city. Hold them meetings at home in your tipi,
longhouse or your condemned Indian Affairs
bungalow with the cracked window panes and
asbestos contaminated floors and walls”.
Colonial Dirty Trick #3: Put out colonial law as if it’s
Indigenous law. Ignore Indigenous legal processes.
Only look at what counts according to the colonial
Supreme Court.
The Red-X says, “Let’s take a look at how two colonial
reptiles played out the “life and death” game against
our people of the Northwest Territories”. Red-X goes
on to reveal the “Colonial Cheat Sheet” used to try to
pull the wool over our eyes.
CDT #4. Information is power - the colonists have two
control strategies: collect, horde and keep it to
themselves. When necessary they make it disappear.
The other option is to put out a whole lot of lies, like
false history and myth making. Even create "Indians"!
CDT #5. Put some “heavies” at the table. The bigger
the title, the longer the resume, the fatter, the better.
At the talks with our Dehcho brothers and sisters,
the “heavy”, Minister of Indian Affairs, Robert Nault,
said, "The signing of these agreements is an
acknowledgment of a new relationship between
the Deh Cho, Canada and the GNWT". What he
really said was, “I hope I confused you because
I’m f-king confused myself.”
Michael Nadli, a sell-out band councillor, said, "We
look forward to Phase II to begin substantive
negotiations on the more fundamental elements
of Deh Cho Governance." Translation: “I’m being
played. They’re making me read a script I don’t
understand”.
CDT #6. Use hierarchical colonial criteria with
with the colonists sitting at the top seeing
themselves with guns and money in hand.
We are supposed to be down there somewhere
out of sight. They always beat around the bush.
CDT #7. Design an extreme “offer-concession
strategy” to bowl the Injuns over if we kick up a
fuss or raise awkward questions, like, “How’re you
gonna clean up your filthy mess?” That’s when
the "operatives" throw the chair back and pull
away from the table. We can stop these sleazes
even when they threaten to take the “bribe” money
with them.
CDT #8. The colonial "hoods" will walk out if
they lose “control”. That’s when we know the
whole is falling. Translation: “We ain’t playing
with you bad ‘Injuns’ anymore!”
CDT #9. Look for weaknesses. These gangsters
may even use a “good cop” and a “bad cop” strategy to
throw those Injuns off balance. We all know there’s no
“good cop”. They’re all “bad”. They then threaten us
with illegal injunctions, jail time and law suits. At the
January 6, 2008 Kingston meeting “ODB” Reid’s
pal, “Algonquin Would-be”, Robert Lovelace, was
sent back in to talk to the Mohawks after the
“carpetbaggers” stomped off in a huff. Would- Be’s
job was to side track the Mohawks with his
“Cointelpro” charm. The next day these “air
punching” carpetbaggers disappeared to a secret
hideaway. The Mohawks found them and once
again they slithered off into the darkness.
CDT #10. The carpetbaggers don’t like the people
you bring along. They will suggest taking your
sell-outs into another room to make a deal behind
closed doors. ODB Reid was overheard telling
“Need-to-be-Algonquin-to-settle-a-phony-land-claim”
Lovelace, “The next time we should meet with
George White of Frontenac Ventures alone with
no lawyers”. They’re trying to make a deal on
uranium mining on Haudenosaunee land at
Sharbot Lake. When we tried to ask questions,
they fled again with their coat tails flapping.
CDT #11. They want targets. In the
1990 Mohawk-Oka Crisis at Kanehsatake, we
sent in different spokespeople every day. Alex
Patterson and Bernard Roy, the negotiators for
Quebec and Canada, got spitting mad. Their
threats were ignored. They picked up their toys
and left. Negotiations broke down.
CDT #12. The colonial agents stuff
their side with ‘know-it-alls. Warns the Red-X,
“This does not intimidate us. We just have
more foul smell to cut through. Just keep
telling them this is all our land, we are sovereign
and they are trespassers”.
Our Basic Way is simple: Report daily to the
community. Get their instructions. Select
new negotiators each day to avoid getting
targeted and becoming too cozy with the
adversaries.
Indigenous men cannot meet with adversaries
without consulting the women. We all have
diverse knowledge, abilities, expertise and
responsibilities. We have to use the Great
Law traditional decision making process to
bring in everybody’s ideas. Separate private
“tete-a-tetes” are meant to force us into making
secret deals with the devil.
The meetings must be 2 sided - the Indigenous
People on one side and all the pirates on the
other side - with a neutral third party approved
by both sides to mediate. This is required by
international law.
The Dehcho Coercion Process involving
Chris "ODB" Reid and Robin "Rotten Egg" Aitkin.
The “Dehcho Nation” is in the southwest corner
of the land known to the colonists as the
“Northwest Territories”. It covers roughly 210,000
square kms. There are 10 communities. The
colonial vipers wanted their land and resources
and to put a pipeline through their territory. It’s
not a place where the vipers themselves dream
of living or raising their families. But they sure
do salivate after the resources.
Red-X warns, “Watch out for “ODB”. Reid.
It is believed he was the double dipping negotiator
and lawyer for the Deh Cho [(867) 695-2355 or
(416) 466-9928]. Look out for Robin Aitken who
was the Chief Federal Negotiator from Indian
Affairs [(819) 953-1018]. Don’t let Bob Patterson
slip away. He was the Chief Negotiator for the
Northwest Territories [(867) 873-7167]. "They brag
about their prowess with Indigenous people”.
said Red-X. Check out their websites. See what
they think of us. Their using similar dirty tricks in
the current “mining and land claim strategy” at
Sharbot Lake.
The Deh Cho process started in 1998 when former
Indian Affairs Minister Jane Stewart sent in her patsy,
Dr. Peter H. Russell, to look at Dehcho “lands,
resources and governance” on behalf of industry.
She’s now trying to organize Six Nations according
to this Manual.
“Patsy” Russell teaches political science at the
University of Toronto [phruss@aol.com] and speaks
on the “Lessons of Ipperwash and Caledonia -
Learning to be Treaty People”. [This title is sooo
patronizing! Try not to barf!] He works at the C.D.
Howe Institute, a Conservative think tank, that plans
and schemes against us. He also spent time among
the Australian Aborigines. After his visits to Dehcho,
agents were sent in to start managing them. George
Erasmus, who gets put on all kinds of government
boards and commissions, was put in as chief
negotiator for Dehcho.
First there was an “Interim Measures Agreement”
signed in May 2001 to let the Dehcho take part in
their own land and resource management. Wow!
What progress! [They have been doing this for
thousands of years!]
Canada wanted an “Agreement-in-Principle” in
five years and a final agreement two years later
so that industry could get their claws on the
resources, oil, gas and diamonds and to put in
the pipeline. Dr. Russell recommended something
called “interim measures” and then an “Agreement-
in-Principle”. There’s no science behind their spin
on names for their theft!
On May 21, 2001, Dehcho, NWT and Canada signed
something else called a “Framework Agreement”
that was supposed to be based on the fraudulent
Treaty 8 of 1900 and Treaty 11 of 1921 and 1922
with Canada. If the Dehcho scrutinized these treaties,
they might find they don’t meet international law
standards.
Some other fancy names to awe us into being
coerced might include “Land Use Planning”
funded by Canada; “Interim Land Withdrawal”
to temporarily protect lands not presently needed
by industry; involve the Dehcho in the “Mackenzie
Valley Resource Management” to make them feel
important, meaning “we’ll let you talk to us but we
don’t have to listen to you”; National Energy Board,
an outsider, will authorize oil and gas activities with
a benefit plan for someone; Canada will let Dehcho
watch them turn their land into a park; and “joint
ventures projects” called “Interim Resources
Development Agreements” will let Canada and
industry steal the resources and give a few pennies
to the Dehcho.
Resources like wildlife and fish will be used,
managed and protected without specifying by
whom and at whose cost.
In August 2003 the Dehcho stopped surface
and sub-surface development for five years,
probably on the land that has no resources
that industry wanted. The mining companies,
environmental groups, prospectors and oil and
gas companies were probably involved in deciding
which 34% of the lands were withdrawn.
In the “Interim Resource Development Agreement”
of April 2003 the Dehcho would benefit only if
there was oil and gas development. Dehcho got
12.25% of the first $2 million [$250,000] that
Canada collected in resource royalties from the
Mackenzie Valley each year, and 2.45% of any
more royalties. The Dehcho could only get up to
50% each year to a maximum of $1 million. “You’ll
get an allowance if you behave yourselves”,
Canada told them. Canada will hold the balance
in trust so that they can dip into it for their own
needs. This is an old trick. At the final agreement
in 2005/06 the Dehcho got $1 million. The oil and
gas companies are taking out at least $1 million a
day if not an hour from their land.
Dehcho had to agree to issue oil and gas exploration
licenses and prospecting permits the first year and
every two years after that. Mining companies can
go to individual Dehcho communities to make separate
deals. This is all so underhanded.
Canada says they are giving the Dehcho a chance
to "hit the ground running" when a final agreement
is completed. Yes, we’d better all run away from
these salivating reptiles! This means they will give
the Dehcho an advance on their allowance which
will be deducted from the final settlement. If it doesn’t
go through, the Dehcho may have to pay it back.
In September 2004, the Dehcho sued the Mackenzie
Gas Project, suspending land, resources and
governance negotiations. In the out-of-court
settlement of July 2005 Canada agreed to pay
Dehcho $31.5 million over three years through
“program funding” and “new funding” which the
Dehcho have to get anyway. It ended up as $3.5
million per year to make it look like the Dehcho
were taking part.
The “Framework Agreement” sets out how Canada
would set up an illegal municipal government to
avoid legitimate nation to nation relations. “Yeah,
we’ll let you “regulate” your own land and water as
long as you go by our "rules”, which are in the best
interests of industry!”
The Dehcho role in the Mackenzie Valley Land &
Water Board was to bring their land and resources
under the same overall controlling regulations. We
hear they got two jobs from the oil and gas exploration.
Did ODB Reid get this for them?
Derek Neary of the Deh Cho Drum, Fort Simpson,
wrote about the distrust of federal negotiator,
Robin “Rotten-Egg” Aitken. Rotten Egg repeatedly
said that Canada doesn't have anything up its sleeve!
He said that the Dehcho made him push the
negotiations. Do we believe that? It’s always
the other way around.
An Old "Indian" Trick We Learned from a White Man:
Canada made agreements with “metis” to put
pressure on Dehcho to go along with the land
and resources giveaways. Who are these “metis?
Anybody who wishes to be native, like the “paper
Algonquins” at Sharbot Lake who are negotiating
away Haudenosaunee land? The “Congress of
Aboriginal People” CAP is the federal government
creature that signs up anyone who wants to be an
“Indian”. If this keeps up, every Canadian could sign
up and be part of this subterfuge. As Red-X said,
“They can never be Ongwehonwe!” The Red-X
advises, “Brothers and sisters, we must use our
natural world strategies against these beasts”.
