A video about Senator McCain's Personal Holocaust against the Human Rights
& Religious Freedom of the Dineh-Navajo in AZ. At a cost of $400 million to the
US Taxpayer. And the man claims he's "against Pork Barrel spending" ??

I do believe we have start listening and protect Ancient cultures.
As a white woman I am ashamed of my people.This is still happening around the world..just because people do get away with it.
If we have anything to learn.... is that we have to respect cultures who have a bound with the land,instaed of walking the path of greed!

I sure wish people wanting to vote for McCain instead of Obama - would stop and read how McCain treats the people here in his OWN state. Don't you dare think it'll be any different on a national level!!

This shows the real truth about the phony straight talk express crap. McCain has sold his soul to be president and I fear they are going to steal this election again, the stakes are too high for the corporations.

his is why we need to stop bleeding our country dry for illegal immigrants and take care of our own, especially our Native Americans...after all, WE displaced them into poverty and misery!

Are Cindy McCain's "private planes" buzzing the reservations? If McCain wants Native American land, he'll confi$cate it, just like any other slimey, greedy RepubliCON ... throw them all out of Congre$$ and the White Hou$e, now!

When is the attack against the Native Americans going to end? We nearly performed genocide on them while "taming the old west", and now we have the audacity to lay a finger on them or their land?? Shame on McCain and all the rest of the greedy bastards! Thanks, Alicya.
Sen. McCain's role in the tragedy and its devastating cultural, health, and enviromental impact is documented not just by the local people directly involved but by an independent investigation by an agency of the United Nations.
We can leave it to others to calculate how much money Sen. McCain has received from Peabody, Bechtel, SCE and other players in this sordid scandal. What we do know is that some of the poorest Native Americans were swindled out of vast Coal wealth and their ancestral lands, for the benefit of politically well-connected corporations. We know that it had horrendous consequences for both public health and the environment. And, we know that Sen. McCain made it happen.
It is possible - however unlikely - that no money changed hands, to buy the Senator's participation in ripping off the Dineh Navajo. If that's the case, then it nevertheless represents monumentally bad judgement, callous disregard for his most vulnerable constituents, and an ignorance of both environmental and public health issues that would have grand reprecussions if broadly applied to national policy. We know that Bechtel has a long time interest in the Senator; perhaps this was a payoff for some defense contract he was unable to secure for them.
In 1972, America [re-] elected a corrupt President SIX MONTHS AFTER the Watergate Break-in, because the news story initially remained largely confined to Washington, and thereafter endured two years of scandal and chaos as a result. In 2008, we have this medium (Internet), and vital information on public corruption no longer remains contained to one local media market. If the media look into the plight of the Dineh Navajo, and Sen. McCain's role in their destruction for profit, perhaps we might avoid a similar national nightmare in the future.

John McCain and his peers responsible for spearheading this illegal land seizure, coal seizure without payment of licensing rights, and rape of the land. A very hypocritical group of Senators,
Reed, Rockefeller,
Kennedy,
Kerry and others along with
Bill Clinton
were also investigated. However, McCain was cited as the principal spearhead as author of the laws responsible for the Human Rights Violations! A paid media blackout followed that prevented coverage of the events that displaced and killed the Dineh-Navajo by the US Press!
We need to Support a Constitutional Initiative to limit the rights of certain persons of wealth to acquire and service energy distribution, resource exploitation and mining/well digging without responsibility for the ecological consequences or human rights and property rights of the owners of these precious national resources! Their ability to buy and control a John McCain to help enhance their investments in Las Vegas, is an example of the problem - Make the Rockefellers' Monopoly pay to replace the lost resources that are leading to global warming

I have been arguing about McCain with a dear friend. She is full Native American and though I am only 1/8th, we serve together on a local council.
She has decided she likes McCain and I tried to bring this up to her but didn't have all the facts at my disposal. I am forwarding this to her.

I knew the Navajo were on contaminated land a couple of years ago, but someone had started a campaign then to help them. I am part Blackfoot and part Cherokee and it hurts to see the way the Native American is treated. I fear it will continue though until all pure Native Americans and those that are only part Native American unite and fight it together, right now, in some of the tribes, their own greed for money has caused them to kick out members of their own tribes who are less pure in blood, so there are fewer to devide casino money among-this too is wrong, too me it says that they have a white man's soul. Until we can all unite against all the wrongs done to every tribe it will continue. It is to bad that the tribes still can't get along within or without. Maybe someday it will happen.

This is a disgrace how the true Americans are being treated like throw aways. We open our arms to others who come to the United States for a better life & close our hearts to the Native Americans who have more rights & respect for the land then those who lead our country. Our government talks about human rights but I don't think they know what the definition is when it centers on money & greed. Don't even let me start on John McCain, he is a clone of Bush.

I think this "man" is particuraly(?) despicable for attacks against the Great Native Americans, shameless fodder he is. Just an errand boy for his controllers. Great info Scott!

Grow a pair McSame, be a man again , like you used to be, for the sake of the world and everything that is good and pure and WILL remain so!!!!!!

Please lets not forget that the architect of the the Trail of Tears was Andrew Cannibal Jackson who once ate potatoes that had been found cooked in the fat of the Cherokee families he burned to death in their home. Check out what other Democrat slime buckets have to NA rights up and down the country. You want to take a little peek at the Clintons' and friends?
Am I pro McCain? Hell, no. But anyone thinking that this is a reason to vote for Obama might want to think again.

As part Lakota and Arawak, I'm against any violence done on our Native cousins, my ancestors dealt with it , sadly enough.. In respect to the plight of the Navajho, I must say i've little sympathy. For too long in their history have they cow towed to white-eyes influence at the distress of their native cousins. It first started in the early 1500's when the Spanish had trekked into Arizona and New Mexico looking for Gold, The land which the Navajho have now was once Anasazi-, then Hopi until the Navajho warred against them and took over the land . When the Spanish came, The Hopi would have nothing to do with them but not the Navajo who traded information for glass beads and metal ware, aside from being their guides Jumping forward to the first World war, many Navajo fought with Americans, not the Hopi. WW2 and the American military saw the need for code breakers, the Hopi were first approached and refused to offer either men or their language to be used for the war effort but not the Navajo, They made big money from that, got rich, sold mineral rights which weren't theirs to sell, openly shared their Medicine schools and etc, which for the Hopi have always been sacred and not for sale.The Hopi have quietly referred to their business-minded cousins as Grave robbers. One has to be careful, even today, when traveling along the grand Canyon route because the possibilty of you buying a ceremonial pot that is ancient and not a copy, I witnessed that myself in 1979 and told the Navajo women so. I could feel the sacred energy of that pot and was disgusted.I warned them to pack up and return the pot to the grave from which it was stolen before ill will would come upon them
What I'm trying to say is that Karma has a strange way of kicking back , big time and for the Navajo Nation, who's so much blood on their hands, Destiny is calling them to account. When you sell your land, your soul for the bottom line, profit than this is unfortunately how Mother Nature takes her due.What goes around , comes around.Peace in Our Quest for Truth and I wish not to offend anyone by my comment but check your history and you'll see that I'm not far at all from the truth
