Demand justice for Sean Bell!
Jail racist killer cops!

Sean Bell with his fiancee Nicole Paultre

Rally and community speak-out
Today, April 25, 5:30pm
in front of Queen's DA office:
125-01 Queens Blvd
(bet. Hoover Ave & 82nd Ave)
E/F train to Union Turnpike
Called by the People's Justice Coalition

The ANSWER Coalition calls on all its members, supporters, and friends in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area to join with thousands of other people in New York City today for a mass demonstration against the outrageous acquittal of the three police officers who murdered Sean Bell. They killed Bell in a hail of gunfire the night before his wedding. This is one more example of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) being allowed to commit murder in the Black and Latino community with impunity. The police in New York operate like an occupation army granting themselves the right to function as judge, jury, and executioner. It would take days to recite all the names of those killed by police murder.

Judge Arther Cooperman, who found the police officers not guilty today, gained notoriety when he sentenced a New York man who was convicted of $22, to "15 years to life" in prison.

Our coalition stands against war and racism. The two are connected. We are fighting against racism and injustice at home, and the racist war against the Arab people in the Middle East.

Today's verdict has provoked mass outrage throughout the Black community in New York City and among all people who believe in justice. Sean Bell was unarmed as were his companions when he died in a hail of 50 gunshots. One police officer, Michael Oliver, fired 31 shots, stopping to reload in the middle before resuming to fire against the unarmed men. The movement for real change against racism and war is being built in the streets. Join us today and spread the word.

Browns Siege: Feds Say They Are Going In
Randy Weaver may join Browns at their New Hampshire home

Steve Watson
Infowars.net

Wednesday, June 13, 2007

Federal marshals have called Ed and Elaine Brown to tell them that the authorities are coming in to their property at some point soon but "do not want to kill" the Browns.

US Marshall Gary Dimartino, who previously promised the Browns that federal authorities would not raid them only for the feds to then conduct an aborted raid last week, told Elaine Brown that they were coming in.

Given that the Browns now know the marshals have no honor and they have flat out lied before, it is likely that they mean exactly the opposite of anything they openly say to the Browns.

ALERT! ALERT! OPP INVADES SIX NATIONS - AIDED BY INDIAN TRAITORS - GO
AND
WITNESS - Thursday, April 20th 2006.



WATCH FOR FURTHER UPDATES



4:20 am the OPP attacked to arrest them. They hauled first 9 off. Some protesters took the Caledonia Bridge. Reserve people arrived and repelled the cops. At least 150 heavily armed cops. They had vans, trucks, paddy wagons, ambulances (for the cops). They repelled them. The cops came back. They were repelled again. Now at 9:00 am the people have taken the land in question back. How to get there: From Niagara Falls and Toronto, take Highway 6 straight south from Hamilton to Caledonia. >From buffalo take Highway 3 west to Highway 6 and north on Highway 6 to Caledonia. From Windsor take Highway 3 East to Highway 6 and go north. These are back roads and cops are not likely to be looking at it too much.




8:30 OPP DISRUPTS PEACE IN QUIET CALEDONIA



The OPP has created an ongoing battle. They sit in their cars, give out false news reports, and wait for reinforcements to come in to squash the Six Nations people but they can't. Everyone is reporting to everyone.



All police have been chased off the perimeter of Douglas Estates for now. Cops were sneaking behind the unfinished houses. One woman went over. A women cop told her she was under arrest. "What do you mean I'm under arrest? You're violating the laws, both ours and international law". Other cops came out and wrestled her down on the ground. She fought all of them. They kneed her to handcuff her. She started booting the cops. Then other Indians arrived on the scene and chased the cops off. As they were leaving they shot her son in back with tasers. The big woman cop was carrying a big gun, something like an Uzi. "It was a big one". Those cops were fully packed, she said. They failed to arrest her because she resisted. There are 9 arrested. They're supposed to only keep them for 2 hours. 'We haven't seen them back yet". The People are shutting Caledonia down. "We are not armed. We got our land back. Were in! We're at the fire!"



At the 6th Line where the Douglas Estates comes out on the road at the entrance, out to Highway 6 that goes onto the reservation The bypass that goes around Caledonia. At the 6th line overpass, the people there had been blocking that road, they were attacked by the cops, and paddy wagons were there. They fought back. It was a brawl. People started coming from the reservation and supported them. Immediately there were hydro poles around which they threw on the road and set on fire. They are cutting off Highway 6 the main supply line that goes to Nanticoke Hydro Electric plant down on Lake Erie. It is the main transport truck road to Hamilton. This is being blocked.



Some protesters are still holding Caledonia Bridge, the main artery of
the city. It's total confusion.



If you have satellite TV, look for Hamilton CH which has a live feed.
They have helicopters filming everything.





8:00 AM



It is an ongoing situation. 9 people arrested.


There is fighting going on at the No. 6 Line Bridge. It is blocked off. The traditional Longhouse people put a fire there and the OPP pepper sprayed them. But the people started fighting back. The people have moved onto the main bridge in Caledonia. The people moved the police off the land and are going back to the main door and are still there holding on. The cops are still on the road shutting down the bypass. The OPP were chased off by the people and told to get out. OPP got off the land and are in their cars watching and waiting for "orders".



Get the news on the radio stations, newspapers, television.



7:05 am. Two snipers were chased off by the people. They have 50 cops trapped in, who can't get out. A media black out could work against them. More cops are going to come in. Indians don't have weapons but they do have tons of cameras.



In Ipperwash there was a media blackout. The only way the information got out was because some of the people told what they saw. That's why we need people in there. The police showed in that public inquiry there was a deliberate attempt to stop the press from finding out. There were attacks upon people with cameras, those who tried to get the story out. What the police learned is how to do this the right way next time. This is it. They learned all the weaknesses. We learned the invaders are
psychologically twisted people who pretend to be supporting the law. These are megalomaniacs who think they can say what the law is because they have access to guns. This time they will do it "right". The CTV have made two major movies showing what happens when these twisted personalities are allowed free reign on Indians. We get killed.



There are back room deals in police headquarters to hide the information and protect the police officers that give orders. In the case of Ipperwash, three OPP police officers died suddenly just before they were going to give evidence at the enquiry. What a strange coincidence. It is unfortunate that the poor jerks that are just "following orders" do not realize that they are putting their lives on the line. They are not at risk from Indians, so why all these coincidences?



The Six Nations people have been burning tobacco during this entire occupation for their protection. This is the only weapon that we have. We know the truth is on our side. We are calling upon the natural forces to give us wisdom and guidance through this whole siege. There are repercussions to those involved when you go against people who are innocent and justified in what they are doing. The megalomaniacs who do these kinds of things are only looking out for themselves. They are a danger to all of society. We Indigenous people are within our rights. We want Canada to obey their own laws, and to respect international norms. We want an open and fair hearing. If the colonizers think they own our land, they need to prove it. With this attack they have trashed any pretension to right and decency, democracy and the rule of law. Canada is beginning to slide quickly down the slippery slope of despotism. How can Canada decolonize. The test lies in how they feel toward people who challenge their assumptions. Are they going to use batons, guns and pepper spray? Or are they going to get out their documents and take a serious look at the evidence.



The answer is obvious. Just look at what is happening today. This is a colonial government's hard core. Canada does not believe in reasoned researched and documented solutions. We are seeing how colonial government is going to deal with any kind of questioning of their "might makes right" authority. These are the signs of how a tyrannical government is going to suppress the people from expressing legitimate dissent against a takeover by the powerful elitist interests that are involved. It appears that individual rights are being eliminated systematically all over Turtle Island. This destruction of dissent at Six Nations is done under the cover of media darkness. This is the way it will be done in the future against all people across Turtle Island. This is an experiment in police state tactics against unarmed people who are exercising our rights.



These are the lessons they learned at Gustafsen Lake in 1995 where 77,000 rounds of ammunition were shot at the Indians. In Saskatoon, where Six Indian boys were found frozen to death outside the city put there by police officers. In Winnipeg where J.J. Harper was murdered by the Winnipeg police. At Ipperwash Dudley George was murdered in cold blood by the OPP. There are over 500 Indigenous women who have "disappeared" and the police have done nothing about it. In the 1960's there was a complaint made in British Columbia because men were looking for Indian children to have sex with them in the streets. The police did nothing about it. Child prostitution is an on-going problem in Vancouver. We don't want the blood lust of Canada's police force to be whetted by spilling the blood of Indians. This vampire regime is moving in on Indians like sharks that smell blood in the water.



6:45 am





Go to Six nations. Take part in the Canadian "democratic" process. Get pepper sprayed. Get beat up. Get arrested. Get killed. No one will know what is going on. Seriously, the media black out is giving the lawless their power. They can do anything they want and who knows where it will stop. Take photos and tell your friends. We don't want another Chile. The state has been involved in murders before like Anna May Aquash. These attackers find a place where they can live out their bizarre fantasies and manias. These people have a twisted view of society and a gun is put in their hands. No psychological testing is done on these guys in police, armies, and bureaucracies. The only test for surviving is a willingness to "follow orders", not the law. These people have no concept of what the law or true democratic rule is.



6:20 AM



Cops all over the place. People are there. More people coming. Pepper sprayed. So far they let everybody go. Some might have been seized. Don't know. Canada is using Gestapo tactics instead of making things right. Canada is following big brother George bush mentality - invasion, containment, imprisonment and torture of Indigenous people and their families. Next Canada will start hunting down those who continue to protect and try to maintain the sovereignty and jurisdiction of our people. Lets not be surprised if Canada puts a deck of 52 for its most wanted Indigenous people and their friends and allies. Free land is our land that is free of Indians.





At 5:55 am this morning, Thursday, April 20th, over 150 heavily armed Ontario Provincial Police with Native mercenaries as body shields, invaded Six Nations land. Some carrying M-16's, in riot gear. 6th line is still open. The Rotinoshon'no are not fighting because they are unarmed. Tear gas has been thrown at them. Some were pepper sprayed. The traitors are the same kind of people who stabbed Crazy Horse, Geronimo, and those who fought for our sovereignty and our lives.



One bridge to the property has been closed.



Witnesses required. This will not be on the national news. Go there and see what is going on. This is a scary precedent. Take pictures. Make reports. Let the world know. Report. REPORT. REPORT. Help the people so no one gets hurt. We never wanted violence. Canada has opened to the door to covert state violence on a scale that is unprecedented in Canada. This is the end of any pretense of negotiation with Indigenous people. Theyre just going to take the land. Canada came in with armaments, guns, paddy wagons (we dont know what's in there).



Don't let Canada become another Chile. Tell the world. The
Rotino'shon: we are on our own land.

Emergency Call to Action


L.A. South Central Farm Receives
3-Day
Eviction Notice


Immediate Action Required
to Save Model
for
Post-Peak Sustainability in Cities


by
Michael C. Ruppert

March 3, 2006
1130 PST (FTW) -


In L.A.’s Havana Experiment

FTW told you the dramatic and compelling story of what 350 families have done over a 13-year period with a 14 acre plot of land in a depressed inner city.

They are feeding themselves with organically grown and healthy produce that requires zero fossil-fuel inputs and requires virtually no transportation expense.







This is being done on soil that
was once paved,
covered, depleted and ignored.






More than anything else, this is the one area of effort most essential for America’s (and the world’s) major cities to pursue

as Peak Oil takes its first deadly bites.









Two days ago the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department unceremoniously posted an eviction notice on the farm’s gate calling for the farm to be vacated by March 6th (next Monday).






That would leave current crops in the ground
to
be plowed under by a developer’s bulldozers.









The intended replacement for the farm
is a
warehouse intended to serve (primarily)
Wal-Mart.





No one has better articulated what is at stake here than USC Professor Clara Irazábal who today in an impassioned letter to LA Mayor Antonio Villarraigosa, completed after 3 AM this morning, wrote:





[T]he relevant question is not whether this urban farm should be preserved. This is the wrong question and one that diminishes the stature of your office and the trust we have invested in you.






The question is, rather, how can we best help multiply urban farms like this one throughout Los Angeles and cities of the Americas and the world. As the era of oil inescapably comes to an end, we are going to be faced with the need, whether we like it or not, to live more compactly, thrifty, cooperatively, and in more direct connection with, and responsible for, the production of our own food.






In this context, not only does the South Central Farm not constitute a backward use of land in one of the largest and more prominent and modern cities of the world.








Instead, it is a model for the future
(and the future is now), one that can support the survival of our growing urban civilization. Maintaining the South Central Farm, Los Angeles and you as its mayor have the unique opportunity to become world visionaries and trail breakers.









Although this posting may appear too late today to get people to show up for a hastily organized protest at the Mayor’s office, there are a number of things which must be done immediately to save this incredible experiment;






an experiment that is teaching us how to save
hundreds of thousands of lives:
lives of poor people;
lives of disenfranchised;
lives of those who are not fortunate enough
to move away to an already sustainable region.



The words of Mario Savio ring truer than ever.

It is time to throw our bodies into the gears of the machine and grind it to a halt. Some things are worth fighting for and if anything is worth fighting for the South Central Farm is.









If you are in Southern California
you can do something.



If you are anywhere else, what you
can do may be just as important.



In the enclosed links are a sample letter (or email) that can be sent to Mayor Villarraigoasa’s office. There are contact numbers and links for additional activism. There are also instructions on how to actually be at the farm to protest.









If a large enough hue and cry is raised from around the world to focus a laser-like beam on what is at stake here then there might be time.

There might be a window for a miracle.









I am cutting off this story now
because every minute’s delay in getting
this up on FTW’s web site is critical.

If you understand Peak oil;
if you understand the miracle that
is the South Central Farm; and if you
are committed to preparing the world
and your family for Peak Oil
then I won’t have to say more.



There will be many more battles to fight.

Let us fight the good fight here and now, today.

Were I in LA I would be there myself, willing to and encouraging others to engage in civil disobedience, to get arrested, to stop this travesty.








In a ham and eggs breakfast the
chicken
is involved but the pig is committed.










It’s time to drop everything for a moment,
as long as it takes, to struggle and to pray
for the Miracle on 41st Street.
