2005-08-10 "Iraqi MP defends Lucifer" by "News24"
[http://wwrn.org/articles/18208/?&place=iraq&section=other]
Baghdad, Iraq - The devil looked in on Iraq's parliament on Wednesday when a member of parliament upbraided Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari for speaking ill of Lucifer.
Kameran Khairi Said, a Kurdish MP and a member of the minority Yezidi community that worshipped the peacock angel, also known as Lucifer, angrily interrupted the prime minister during a parliamentary debate.
"Mr Prime Minister and ministers, my speaking out might seem strange to you, but we feel insulted when you repeatedly use the expression in your speeches and statements 'God protects us from the devil'.
"Each time the word is pronounced, my colleagues turn towards me as if I were a representative of the devil."
Yezidis followed a pre-Islamic religion, which some believed was founded in the 12th century by Sheikh Uday bin Masafel al-Amawi, although many scholars traced its origins to the Zoroastrian religion of ancient Persia.
Sheikh Uday was born in Damascus, but died in the town of Lalish, in northern Iraq, where his tomb had became the Yezidis' holiest shrine.
The community was still largely based in the foothills, north of Iraq's main northern city of Mosul, and in the Sinjar Mountains on the border with Syria.
But, followers of the faith could be found throughout the Kurdish diaspora, in neighbouring Syria and Turkey as well as the former Soviet republics of the Caucasus, or in Germany and Britain.

Position of authority -
Said said: "There are 600 000 to 700 000 Kurdish yezidis and they feel insulted whenever you use that phrase and we call on all those in a position of authority to take account of this."
The Yezidis did not believe in heaven or hell, and did not regard Satan as evil. In fact, they worshipped him - but dare not say his name.
Three of Iraq's 275 MPs belonged to the sect whose members did not marry outside the faith. There were also two Yezidis in the 111-seat regional Kurdish parliament.
Jaafari said he meant no harm in using the expression, common among Muslims.
He said: "When we use this expression it is not to insult you or to provoke a minority.
"Even if religions are different, all agree on the need to respect one another, especially in this forum where respect for others is essential. But one must also respect the majority and the majority is Muslim."

Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs
[http://www.mohawknation.org]
The official, long-standing indigenous Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs (MNCC) represents the Sovereign Nation of the Mohawk (separate from the US or UK). The Mohawk Nation Council is an ancient democratic government, that was in operation centuries before European contact.  The Mohawk Nation and the other member Nations of the Confederacy including the Oneida, Onondaga, Cayauga, Seneca and Tuscarora, have built a government whose principles are based on peace and the participation of its citizens. It is sometimes referred to as a participatory democracy. The Mohawk and other Haudenosaunee Nations consider their government to be a gift of the Creator.

2007-06-18 "Anti-whaling ships to fly First Nations flags" from "CanWest MediaWorks Publications Inc." [http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=2d5e108b-c832-4e6a-afe0-95358b6ce598&k=51740]
After being stripped of registration papers and prohibited from sailing under the Canadian flag earlier this year, two of the world’s best-known ocean warriors found a friendly port of call in the Mohawk community of Kahnawake today.
The Farley Mowat and the Robert Hunter – two ocean-going vessels operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Authority, an international anti-whaling group  –  will travel under a First Nations flag and with registration paper’s signed by one of  Kahnawake's three longhouses when they set sail for Antarctica later this year.
At a signing ceremony today, Paul Watson, captain of the Farley Mowat, was presented with the papers for his ship and the Robert Hunter, as well as with two Five Nations Iroquois Confederacy flags, a purple flag with symbols representing the Mohawks, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca and Cayuga.
Watson said the ships will set sail from Australia for Antarctica in November where the crews will try to prevent Japanese whaling ships from killing whales.
"It's a real honour to have the Mohawk flag flying on these ships," said Stuart Myiow of the Mohawk Traditional Council, the longhouse that drew up the registration papers.

The Mohawk and Iroquois Nations have flagged two anti-whaling ships to sail from Australia to Antarctica in November. My interest in the story has to do with the flags. The ship’s captain was presented the Flag of Five Nations and the Mohawk Nation flag, along with registration papers. The brief article indicates the Canadians stripped their flag from the vessels, but doesn’t tell why. [ ... ] I am not aware of any other ships sailing under the flag of an Indian nation. If you know of any, please let me know.

Tolowa (Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’)

Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’ population is 1,400+ citizens.


Smith River Rancheria of Tolowa Dee-ni’ Indians
[http://www.tolowa-nsn.gov]
140 Rowdy Creek Rd. Smith River, Ca 95567
[707-487-9255]
The citizens of the Smith River Rancheria are a nation of Dee-ni’ known today as the Tolowa Dee-ni’. They are governed under the Smith River Rancheria as a Federally Recognized Nation. Their Administration Office named the K’vsh-chu Administration Building is located in Smith River, California in the Pacific Northwest.


Homeland
Taa-laa-waa-dvn (Tolowa-Ancestral-Land)
With the imposition of a line at the 42nd Parallel dividing the State of California and the Oregon Territory the Taa-laa-waa-dvn was broken in two parts. The Taa-laa-waa-dvn was further colonized later with its division into four (4) county governments as follows; Coos County in 1853, Curry County in 1855, Josephine County in 1856 and Del Norte County in 1857. The Oregon Territory would not join statehood until 1859.

History
2011-03 "The Tolowa (Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’)" by Loren Me’-lash-ne Bommelyn
[http://www.tolowa-nsn.gov/tribalculture]
[begin extract]
The Dee-ni’ Holocaust began in California in 1851. On September 20, 1848, The first Governor Peter Burnett and followed by Governor John McDougal of California sponsored the California Holocaust with Burnett’s campaign, “That a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct…” and with the appropriation of one-million-four-hundred-thousand (1,400,000) dollars to pay vigilantes to destroy them. The California Holocaust spread to the Rouge River in the Oregon Territory from Yreka California. In 1853, The Yreka Herald reported; “We hope that the Government will render such aid as will enable the citizens of the north to carry on a war of extermination until the last redskin of these tribes had been killed. Extermination is no longer a question of time – the time has arrived, the work has commenced and let the first man who says treaty or peace be regarded as a traitor.”
The expansion was organized by mercenaries at Jacksonville Oregon, with their slogan, “The only good Indian is a dead one”, that rang across the land. The mercenaries raked life in the Rogue Valley and moved on to all of the rivers flowing into the Pacific and then to include the entire seaboard back to California. The Mii~-xvsh-xay suffered huge casualties defending the Dee-ni’. The population plummeted from thousands of individuals to a mere few hundreds. The Dee-ni’ Holocaust ended at the mouth of the Smith’s River in 1856 with the execution of Xvsh-xay-yu’ leading the resistance.  And thus began, the Ethnic Cleansing of the Dee-ni’.
The surviving Dee-ni’ populous was divided at the State line of California and the Oregon Territory and was driven onto separate concentration camps. Dee-ni’ were detained on military concentration camps at the Klamath River Reservation and Wilson Creek in California. These Dee-ni’ were re-named the Smith River, Lagoon and Tolowa, to include a few. Dee-ni’ married to Pioneers managed to remain on the in the Oregon Territory at locations like Agness, Gold Beach, Harbor and Port Orford. One-thousand-eight-hundred-thirty-four (1,834) Dee-ni’ were driven far north of the Taa-laa-waa-dvn and imprisoned in a foreign land. The Dee-ni’ were imprisoned on the Coast Reservation in the Siletz Valley to live with multiple Non-Dee-ni’ Tribes in Penutian speaking country. The Federal Government re-named these Dee-ni’ in general, the Chetco and Tututni among other names.
Several Ratified and Un-ratified Treaties were negotiated during the Dee-ni’ Holocaust. The Xaa-wan’-k’wvt (How-on-quet) Treaty negotiated by Xvsh-xay-yu’ K’ay-lish in 1855 on the Smith’s River allowed an enduring number of Dee-ni’ to remain in the Taa-laa-waa-dvn in California, while facing Ethnic Cleansing. For the next fifty (50) years the predators of the Dee-ni’ were never charged or brought to justice for their murder, bludgeoning, poisoning, kidnapping and rape of the Dee-ni’. The scalping of the Dee-ni’ continued.
Towns across the state offered rewards from five (5) dollars for a severed head to twenty-five (25) cents for a scalp. Dee-ni’ scalps were taken and sold to the state through 1895. In this face of adversity the Dee-ni’ endured.
They rebuilt their lives from the ashes of the burned ruins that included Cushing Creek, Elk Creek, Gasquet, Lake Earl, Nii~-lii~-chvn-dvn, Pebble Beach, Srdvn-das-’a~ (The-Island), Yan’-daa-k’vt and Wagon Wheel. They returned to hold ceremonies upon the plank floors in charred remains of their once great named Dance Houses.
The seventeen thousand (17,000) acre Smith’s River Reservation was established in 1862 honoring the promises made under the Xaa-wan’-k’wvt Treaty and the flooding of Fort Terwer. In 1868, the valuable lands of the Smith’s River Reservation were abandoned by the U.S. Government following the death of K’ay-lish in 1866 and for the benefit of the insatiable settlers of the Smith’s River Valley. The Dee-ni’ again became landless in their own land and many were driven to the Camp Gaston concentration camp on the Hoopa Valley Reservation. Yet again, some Dee-ni’ managed to hide out in the Taa-laa-waa-dvn while others escaped Camp Gaston and illegally returned home. 
During the 1880s several Dee-ni’ received scattered Public Domain Trust Allotments across the Taa-laa-waa-dvn. The Dawes Act of 1887 was designed to break up the Indian lands on the reservations. The Act allowed Natlh-mii~-t’i to homestead Indian lands for free. The purpose of the Act was to force assimilation and acculturation upon the Indians to “civilize” them. Once the reservation lands were busted up, the Dee-ni’ were allowed to legally leave their concentration camps in California and Oregon in 1902. More Dee-ni’ moved out and returned to the Taa-laa-waa-dvn. The Natlh-mii~-t’i complained that the Dee-ni’ were returning to their ‘former haunts” and needed to be dealt with. This dilemma further divided the Homesteaders and the need for the indigenous Dee-ni’ to eek out an existence. The Rancheria reservation system was created in California following after the Spanish Large-Land-Grant Rancho system where Small-Land-Grants or Rancherias were set aside on their Ranchos for their Indians slaves to live on.
Under the Landless California Indians Act of 1906 the one-hundred-sixty (160) acre Smith River Rancheria was finalized for the use of the Dee-ni’ in 1908. The small size of the land provided only some Dee-ni’ parcels of Assignment Land leaving the rest to fend for themselves. As the Final Solution, the Federal Government forced Termination upon the Dee-ni’ in 1960. Termination split up their land base and dissolved the Dee-ni’ Government for the next twenty-three (23) years. This action left only one Dee-ni’ Land Allotment of 1881 in Trust at Nii~-lii~-chvn-dvn on the Smith River. In 1983, the Tillie Hardwick Case reversed Federal Termination and restored the Tolowa Dee-ni’ and Federal Government relationship under the Tribal Government of the Smith River Rancheria.

Information
"Tolowa" [http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/~survey/languages/tolowa.php]:
Tolowa is the southernmost language within what is usually called Oregon Athabaskan. Tolowa is very closely related to Chetco, its neighbor immediately to the north in Oregon; the two together are regarded as a single (Tolowa-Chetco) language. This is in turn related, if not as closely, to the Rogue River Athabaskan varieties spoken north of Chetco, and more distantly to Upper Umpqua, the northernmost of the Oregon Athabaskan languages. The traditional area of Tolowa speech is in Del Norte County from Wilson Creek (south of Crescent City) north into Oregon. In pre-contact times, within what is now California there may have been as many as 2400 speakers of Tolowa itself (Gould, Richard A. 1978. Tolowa. In Robert F. Heizer, ed., Handbook of North American Indians, Vol. 8: California, 128-136. Washington: Smithsonian Institution). Today, there are only a few first-language speakers of Tolowa, but there is an active movement to revitalize the language (Golla, Victor. 2011. California Indian languages. Berkeley: University of California Press).
Map of Tolowa speaking areas (Drucker, Philip. 1937. The Tolowa and their southwest Oregon kin. University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnography 36:221-300)

The broader Athabaskan language family is spoken across North America with concentrations in western Canada (Dëne Suliné, Sarsi, Slave), Alaska (Ahtna, Gwich'in, Koyukon), the southwest United States (Apache, Navajo), and coastal Oregon and northern California. The other Athabaskan languages of California are Eel River Athabaskan, Hupa, Kato, and Mattole.

"WEST COAST ATHABASKANS" [http://logos.uoregon.edu/explore/oregon/athabascan.html]
This page was last updated on Friday, February 7, 1997 6:07:08 PM
(Johnson, p. 178-179)
We do not know for certain when the Athabaskan tribes arrived in the area, but it was probably along the coast, perhaps 1,000 years ago. They seem to have left three small tribes in their wake: the Nicola  amongst the Thompson River Indians of Britisth Columbia; the Kwalhioqua  in the Willapa Hills of southwestern Washington; and the Clatskanie,  probably Kwalhioqua who crossed into Oregon before 1775 and occupied an area about 70 miles inland from the mouth of the Columbia River. These tribes are extinct. However, the large territory held by the major communities of the Pacific coast Athabaskans extended not quite continuously from the Umpqua River in Oregon to the head of the Eel River in California. The California tribes numbered about 7,000 and the Oregon groups about the same in aboriginal times.

 "COQUILLE  Sometimes known as Upper Coquille, or Mishikhwutmetumme; an Athabascan tribe on the east fork of the Coquille River, Oregon, west of Myrtle Creek. They lived in lean-to houses of cedar planks and subsisted on acorns, deer, and fish including salmon. Some were forced onto the Siletz Reservation, where 15 'Upper Coquille' were reported in 1910. A mixed blod faction known as the 'Coquille tribe' are a few dozen people of Coos-Coquille extraction living in their old location who are today seeking settlement of their land claims. The 'Confederated Tribes of Siletz' numbered about 900 shortly before termination of reservation status in 1956; the Coquille were one of many ancestries who form the group.
 "UMPQUA  Often known as the 'Upper Umpqua', they lived mostly on the south fork of the Umpqua River, Oregon, near present Roseburg, where they were met by Astorian fur traders in the early 19th century. They numbered som 400 in the mid-19th century; forced north to the Grand Ronde Reservation, they reported 84 in 1902. One band, the Cow Creek Indians, survived in their old homes, and a few descendants still live around Riddle south of Myrtle Creek, Oregon, numbering 221 in 1985. These were part of a reported 700 people in southwestern Oregon in 1956, descendants of Athabascans, Coos, Siuslaw and others living in some 37 different locations but chiefly around the Roseburg and Coos Bay areas. The same general group were reported as numbering 730 in the 1970 census.
 "TUTUTNI  An Athabascan tribe of the Illinois and lower Rogue Rivers in southwestern Oregon who also occupied the coast south to the Chetco River; they are commonly called 'Coast Rogues'. They were contacted by the British explorer George Vancouver in 1792. Although subsequent contact with other vessels and inland fur traders brought epidemics they still numbered around 1,300 in 1850. They suffered the same fate as many other southwestern Oregon groups, being shipped to the Siletz-Grand Ronde complex in 1857. By 1910 only 383 survived; in 1930 just 41 were reported under this name; a few others under the names 'Maguenodon' and 'Joshua', numbering 39 and 45 respectively in 1945, seem to be of Tututni origin. They are now part of the 'Confederated Siletz'. A group known as the Naltunnhtunne  may have been very closely related to, or a subgroup of, the Tututni.
 "CHASTACOSTA  A small Athabaskan tribe on the lower course of the Illinois River near its junction with the Rogue River. They joined the general Indian resistance to white settlement in their lands but were moved north to the Siletz Agency where a few remain. They were given as 153 in 1858, 30 in 1937, and 20 in 1945.
 "TALTUSHTUNTUDE  A small Athabascan tribe from the upper middle course of the Rogue River, Oregon, on Galice Creek, who were subsequently moved to the Siletz Reservation. A group called "Galice Creek" numbered 42 in 1937, and ten in 1945.
 "DAKUBETEDE  Small Athabaskan tribe from Applegate Creek, a tributary of the upper Rogue River, Oregon; probably now extinct.
 "CHETCO  An Athabaskan people of the mouth of the Chetco River near present Brookings, Oregon. They lived in wooden plank houses and were closely allied to the Tolowa to the south. They aided other 'Coast Rogue' Indians in the general resistance of 1853-1856, and were moved north to the Siletz Reservation, where they numbered only nine in 1910.
 "TOLOWA or SMITH RIVER  An Athabascan tribe who occupied the Smith River drainage and some of the nearby coast in the extreme northeastern corner of California. Linguistically they were closer to the Rogue River tribes to the north than to their relatives to the south. They resided in permanent villages along the coast in winter, and in late summer they moved inland for salmon and acorns. Their house types were low peaked redwood plank dwellings with gable end entrances. Tolowa society was dominated by acquisition of wealth, usually dentalium shells, obsidian blades and woodpecker scalps. Ceremonialism associated with the taking of the first salmon and sea lion suggests that they belonged with the northern Californian 'World Renewal' complex of the Karok, Yurok and Hupa type. The overland explorations of Jebediah Smith were their first contacts with whites, and intensive white settlement of this region came after 1850. They probably numbered more than 1,000 in pre-contact times; but the census of 1910 gave only 121 Tolowa, a result of diseases and numerous attacks by whites on their settlements. Two small reserves (called 'rancherias' in California), at Crescent City and Smith River, Del Norte County, California have been home for some Tolowa descendants, reported as numbering 37 and 113 respectively in 1945."

Nueva Aztlán

Aztlán
Aztlán is the homeland of the Mexica people, who migrated out of Aztlan around 700 years ago. Their nations are related to "Ute-Aztec" language group whose nations currently inhabit Aztlán, including the Western Shoshone nation. America's civilizations are not like those in Eurasia who were united by one government or king. Altogether, "Ute-Aztec" was united by a standard system of religion, merchants, scholars with books, and pilgrims across a desert region which had more rain 1000 years ago during the height of "Ute-Aztec" civilization...

2005-07-02 "Who we are" by Noxtinnomecayotzin 
[http://la.indymedia.org/news/2005/06/130745_comment.php]:
The Xicana/o / Mexican@, and CentroAmerican@ people are native to this land.
From Nicaragua to Hopiland, the Kachinas and deities, the spirit of the land, are one.
Our peoples, largely the Uto-Aztecan peoples- the Hopi, Comanche, Shoshone, Tongva, Ute, Yaqui, Tohona O'odham, Ra-Ram-Uri (Tarahumara), Huichol, Paiute, and Azteca (Mexica) --arose from this land.
The Uto-Aztecan peoples as a culture group and as a language group began near the southern borders of what are today New Mexico and Arizona.
From Nicaragua to what is now Idaho, was a single, interrelated cultural complex - a single civilization.
We are their descendants, the uprooted ones, the end product of five centuries of genocide, the greatest Holocaust in human history.
Over 100 million of our ancestors - at a minimum 90% of all living native human beings – perished.
There were no borders as we understand them today. The borders and the nation-states that created them are all one thing, too - they are all European imports, false to this land and to its peoples, scars on the Earth, like the societies Europeans have forced upon us.
The objection will be raised, as always, that Mexicans are not Indians, but rather some kind of half-breed. This argument is phony . Only 10% of the population has ever been European in Mexico - less than the population of Africans.
We are an Indigenous people - whatever tortured permutations have been forced upon us by the invaders, and whatever creative cultural responses we made to the impositions.

"What is Raza?" [http://www.mayorno.com/WhoIsMecha.html]
In May, 2000, more than 1,200 students gathered at UCLA for the seventh annual Raza Youth Conference, which the members say promotes higher education and recognition of the Aztlan culture. Sponsored by MEChA, the year's theme was "Reclaiming Our Razas through education, resistance, and promoting the idea of remembering the historical struggles of Raza" said Erika Ramirez, co-chair of the conference. The conference drew students from 80 middle and high schools and community colleges; featured speeches by those actively involved with the Chicano community.
The keynote speaker was Antonia Darder, a professor of education and cultural studies at Claremont Graduate University and director of the Institute for Cultural Studies in Education, who received a standing ovation for her speech.
Darder described American capitalism and what she said were its impacts on racism and sexism. "I grew up in a capitalist society, a society that taught us that the greed of corporations control politics," Darder said. "Capitalism is the root of domination. Racism and sexism exist because capitalism requires it." Darder said a globalized economy forced smaller countries to give up their self-sufficiency, resulting in people migrating to the U.S. "We're here because U.S. foreign policy in Latin America has forced us here," she said.

"What is Aztlán?" [http://www.mayorno.com/WhoIsMecha.html]
The myth of Aztlán can best be explained by California's Santa Barbara School District's Chicano Studies textbook, "The Mexican American Heritage" by East Los Angeles high school teacher Carlos Jimenez. On page 84 there is a redrawn map of Mexico and the United States, showing Mexico with a full one-third more territory, all of it taken back from the United States. On page 107, it says "Latinos are now realizing that the power to control Aztlan may once again be in their hands." Shown are the "repatriated" eight or nine states including Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington. According to the school text, Mexico is supposed to regain these territories as they rightly belong to the "mythical" homeland of Aztlán. On page 86, it says "...a free-trade agreement...promises...if Mexico is to allow the U.S. to invest in Mexico...then Mexico should...be allowed to freely export...Mexican labor. Obviously this would mean a re-evaluation of the border between the two countries as we know it today."

2012-02-02 "Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo – 164 years of occupation!"
[http://moorbey.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/treaty-of-guadalupe-hidalgo-164-years-of-occupation/]
Because in the 1836 to 1900′, we as a Mexican@ Indigenous people were displaced by force off our lands in South Texas and what is now the Southwestern United States, and by the 1900′s we were working what were our lands but now under Gringo ownership. The invaders and occupiers became the owners and we became ‘cheap’ wage-labor,
Because the clauses guaranteeing the land ownership of Mexican and Indigenous people north of the borderline established by the War of the United States against Mexico 1845-48 and under the protection by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo but that were VIOLATED repeatedly and with impunity,
Because our people suffered a campaign of terror and death at the guns of white racist vigilantes, lynchings by White mobs, the mass savage killings by the Texas Rangers, and genocide under the Slave Republic of Texas and under United States occupation and military control that turned the northwestern part of Mexico, into the now Southwest of the United States,
Because we have been treated and have experienced genocide in indigenous peoples and lands, national oppression as a people, exploitation as a working class, racism and racial segregation, mass deportations as migrant workers and youth experience incarceration not education,
And because, our people have a story of unending struggle and resistance against the violence, national oppression, racist segregation, class exploitation, mass deportations, and inequality
We believe that we must recognize the US-Mexico border line and the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo of 1848, as ILLEGAL! (It is a border imposed by military force, war, invasion and oppression) and denounce them every year on this date,
We must rescue and revive our peoples struggles and stories; A regeneration of our culture, universal human rights, indigenous roots, and languages, and connection to the land that is not U.S. Centric,
We must decolonize our lands, our minds, spirits and our people for we are for all practical and political purposes treated as an internal colony within the entrails of the monster.
We reject the assimilationist models of hegemonic power, capitalism and imperialism, colonialism and white supremacy and hold high our goal for liberation, not just reform; but true democracy, and universal equality for all!
Another United States is Possible and Necessary for another world to be possible and happen!

2012-02-01 "Discussion Paper On Immigration 2012" from "Mexican National Liberation Movement (Movimiento de Liberacion Nacional Mexicano /MLN-M)
[http://moorbey.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/treaty-of-guadalupe-hidalgo-164-years-of-occupation/]
The recent history of the Mexican people in the United States of America clearly shows that we as a community started out on the right track by attempting to transform our situation and to create a better life for our children. However, much of the energy that we generated in the year 2005 was quickly taken away from us by the powers that be. The Catholic Church, along with the Labor Unions, could not allow the Mexican people to start to define for themselves what we needed as a people. They could not let the feelings of our people run free. They felt like they had to corral that energy and so they moved to harness all of our people’s energy and redirected all our momentum down a road that they picked for us – the road towards reform. They said to us that we had to exercise our power within the parameters set down by the Democratic Party, Labor Unions and the Catholic Church. These institutions could not allow for an independent base to emerge within the confines of the United States, and so the only way to harness this power was to direct it in the direction of political reform and completely away from the direction of independence, which the powers that be knew that the United States population would never accept. Those of our people who were first generation or second generation bought into the whole question of democracy, while never understanding historically what the Mexicans that had lived here since the termination of the Mexican American war had experienced. An so they took our people down the road to reform and what transpired was the corruption of all that energy, the same energy that could have given us some form of substance, methodically evaporated into nothing.
We must look to what has historically transpired with the Mexican population since the Alamo or since the Mexican American war. We are a very resilient people but we have to make some historical analysis of our current situation. We as Mexicans are the only people that had a war waged against them and who also reside within the confines of this country. The Mexican American war was the cession of Texas and the battle at the Alamo. Because of this, we cannot allow the criminalization of our people and the term illegal to be applied to us as humans. We must counter this attack with the fact that the United States stole and plundered our land and raped our people. We as Mexicans have a right to be here on our land. We have to fight for this position today as the Empire is engulfed in wars of conquest in the Middle East. How can this Empire propose democracy in the world and build a wall of infamy against our people? We as a people have to rise up to their challenge as original people in the Americas, as the original inhabitants of Turtle Island. Why do we want to be part of an empire that is destroying people in all parts of the world? This is the same empire that has created the conditions in Mexico where 51 % of our people live in poverty and 25 % live in extreme poverty. This means that only 20 % of our people are making it. This is a reality that all of Latin America currently faces.
As Mexicans and Latinos we must understand what is happening in our homelands to be able to wage a struggle to emancipate our people-be it in Mexico or all of Latin America. All people who come here from all the different parts of the Americas have to understand that these territories, the seven states that were plundered during the Mexican American war, are all part of occupied Mexico. This is why we have to have a different view on the question of immigration. For the Mexican people this is really a question of migration from one part of our country to the other. People who choose not to hear this really do not understand history- you can distort it but you can never change it. As Mexicanos we are part of the original people of the Americas, and because of this we can never turn our backs on our history, as it is the door that will take us to our future. There can never be any reform for us in this empire because this empire was never created to accommodate us, it was created to plunder and rape our natural resources and our Mother Earth. If we as a people believe that we can accommodate ourselves to this empire then we have to also face the reality of going all over the world to kill people in their own homeland so that the empire can take control of their natural resources and gain control of the almighty dollar. If that’s what you as an individual are willing to do to accommodate yourself to be a part of this country then you have lost touch with your humanity. We as a people have to fight on both sides of the imposed border to affect change and to align ourselves with what really represents humanity and learn from other people in the world who have fought for the independence of their countries. Let us band together with the other five and a half billion people that work every day for fifty cents, one dollar or two dollars a day. In the words of Mao, we must “organize the many to defeat the few.” It often seems like such an insurmountable task but everywhere in the world there is poverty and there is struggle and even though it has its own dynamics we have to understand why this situation exists. We have to stop blaming ourselves for our own oppression.
The following legislative actions prove the historical contradictions of the so called democracy of the United States. The original fugitive slave act of 1793 was a federal law that was written with the intention of enforcing Article 4- section 2 of the United States Constitution. In 1850 the only people who had to deal with the question of papers and legality were African Americans. In recognition of southern support for California’s admission to the union as a free state and ending the slave trade in the District of Columbia, Congress enacted the Fugitive Slave Act to assist the south with maintaining a tight rein on slaveholders’ property. Existing laws had created a system designed to enforce the institution of slavery. Southern states usually had slave codes that prevented slaves from being at large without a pass. All this is very similar to Apartheid/ South African pass laws and today’s papers for undocumented immigrants. The key word in all of this is racial profiling. This new law declared that any federal marshal or other officials who did not arrest a runaway slave was liable of receiving a $1,000 fine and six months in prison. Law enforcement officials everywhere now had a duty to arrest anyone suspected of being a runaway slave based on no evidence other than a claimant’s sworn testimony of ownership. Any individual providing food or shelter was subject to six month imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. The new laws created a new force of federal commissioners empowered to pursue fugitive slaves in any state and return them to their owners. No statute of limitations applied, and so even those slaves who had been free for many years could be and were returned to the slave traders. All this sounds like the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs enforcement, known as I.C.E.
The Fugitive Slave Act was passed and used against the African American community from 1865 to 1965. Jim Crow type laws were used to completely control all aspects of African Americans’ lives in the United States. The Chinese Exclusion Act was also passed by Congress in 1882 and signed into law by President Chester A. Arthur. A ten year moratorium was passed for the first federal law proscribed entry of an ethnic working group on the premise that it endangered the good order of certain localities. In 1924 after the assassination of Zapata, Villa and Magon and the termination of the Mexican Revolution, the border patrol was created to maintain the division and control of the Mexican people. The border patrol agents were recruited from the Arizona, California and Texas rangers. The first wave of massive deportations occurred between 1929 and 1939 during the depression years under the Herbert Hoover administration when a million were deported to Mexico. This is not included in the history text books due to the fact that out of the one million deported, 600,000 were Mexican Americans, legal citizens born in the United States.
This was followed by the internment of Japanese Americans in 1942. 110,000 Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps. Executive order 9066 was issued Feb. 19, 1942 and signed into law by president Franklin D Roosevelt. In 1944 the Supreme Court upheld the Constitutionality of the Interment order. The united states census bureau assisted the internment efforts by providing confidential neighborhood information on Japanese Americans. Those that were as little as 1/16 Japanese could be placed in internment camps. Following this, and not to be out done in 1950, President Truman’s Administration instituted operation Wetback and deported one million two hundred thousand Mexicans. To name the deportation act “Wetback” was a racist vilification of our people. The attacks on the Mexican community continued. In 1994 after campaigning for proposition 187 in California, Governor Pete Wilson was reelected on the anti-Mexican wave that was created by proposition187. This proposition prohibited an education for the children of undocumented immigrants, as well as denied them of all social services. This law was later rescinded as it was declared unconstitutional.
Proposition 187 was the new wave of repression that was unleashed by the fascist sector in the United States against the Mexican people. Prior to this in 1985, California passed the English only law that was also aimed at the Mexican community. This English only movement was spearheaded by the Federation of American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an organization headed by John Tanton – an individual known for his anti-immigrant views. FAIR received funding in the amount of $1.3 million from the Pioneer Fund. This fund was established in 1937 and was based on the Nazi philosophy of Eugenics. In 1996 the Bill Clinton Administration picked up on the California proposition and signed into law the Illegal Immigration and Immigrant Responsibility Act [IIRIRA], which did two things. It expanded the number of deportable crimes; and made noncitizens who were subject to removal to be detained without being able to post bond. This was followed by Operation Gatekeeper. Operation Gatekeeper created the new corridors that would eventually build the first walls on the San Diego and Texas side, while pushing migrants to cross through the Sonora Dessert. It is estimated that 4,000 to 12,000 migrants have lost their life since the passing of Operation Gatekeeper.
In 2003, the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and the Office of Detention and Removal (DRO) met to develop a document entitled Endgame. Endgame is a 10-year strategic plan to pursue, arrest and deport every undocumented person in the country by 2012 that according to the National Network For Immigrant and Refugee Rights report entitled “Injustice for All: The Rise of the U.S. Immigration Policing Regime” developed the infrastructure for a future “Immigration Policing Regime” and repression in the form of Raids, Racial Profiling, 287(g) Police/ICE collaborations, the creation of more Detention and Deportation facilities, and the Secure Communities program.
In 2005 the U.S House of Representatives approved the Sensenbrenner law [HR 4437] that criminalized not only undocumented immigrants but also anyone who offered them moral or material support. It should be noted that Sensenbrenner had a business investment in the Olive Branch Restaurant chains that employed undocumented workers. Senate Bill 1070 was passed in April of 2010 by the legislature of the state of Arizona. 1070 was introduced by Republican state Senator Russell Pearce. Russell Pearce has ties with Neo Nazi organizations, and also attends rallies while conducting speeches before many of their groups. The main author of SB 1070 is Kris Kobach. Kobach is a law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Kobach also works for FAIR. Kobach has a long history of involvement in Kansas politics, as he was once a Republican candidate for congress in 2004. According to several newspaper articles, many contributions to his campaign came from white supremacist groups. Kobach and his cronies, all legal conspirators, made the concept of “rational suspicion” a standard for determining who is or isn’t an undocumented immigrant. Let us apply this concept to them and see where it leads us. Senate Bill 1070 violated the U.S. Constitution, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, [United States / Mexico 1848] and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Alabama’s H.B 56 was passed on June 16th 2011. Five things we should understand about this law: H.B.56 requires police to stop anyone who they suspect may have possibly broken a law and inquire about their immigration status. Secondly, the new law makes it illegal for undocumented immigrants to enroll in or attend public colleges. Thirdly, the new law makes it illegal for undocumented people to apply for or solicit work. Subsequently, this new law makes it illegal to rent property to those who are undocumented and lastly and perhaps most shockingly, the new law requires employees of public schools to determine and report approximately how many students-children or teenagers- are undocumented, regardless of how much proof may exist. According to a report titled “Shattered Families” a report from the Applied Research Center, the Obama administration has deported 46,000 parents of children who are U. S. citizens within the first six months of 2011. In that same time period, government data shows a total of 397,000 expulsions in the fiscal year 2011. This means that “almost one in four people deported is the parent of a United States citizen child,” said Seth Freed Wessler, the reports chief investigator and author. After parents are deported, the researchers found that families remain separated for long periods, with child welfare agencies and juvenile courts often moving in to terminate the parental rights of deported immigrants. Children who don’t have other immediate family are then put up for adoption. The deportation of undocumented immigrants in 2011 has left 5,100 children languishing in foster homes. The researchers concluded that controversial federal programs such as Secure Communities, which allows federal authorities to screen fingerprints of those arrested by local police in order to detect undocumented immigrants, has turned parts of the country into deportation hot spots “where families are being torn apart.”
All of the previously mentioned actions were taken against people of color. As we traverse through the door of United States history we should be able to have a clearer picture of our future in this country. In seeking reform we have allowed the ultra-right wing of the Republican Party, and the government in its totality, to criminalize a social working class movement by creating the term Illegal Alien. We have to respond to the fascist alliance that has been formed by the ultra-right wing of the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, neo Nazis, the KKKlan and the tea party. Let us begin to build a movement of our people that can defend our future generations.
In conclusion, we pose this question: are the Mexican people affected by the question of Genocide?
On December 9th 1948, Resolution 260 {III} A of the United Nations General Assembly adopted “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.” declared entry into force on the 12th of January 1951, stating:
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, is genocide, as such:
A) Killing members of the group
B) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
C) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about itsphysical destruction in whole or in part;
D) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
E) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.






2007-01-22 "Racist Mexican Gangs "Ethnic Cleansing" Blacks In L.A.; Latino thugs indiscriminately murder blacks regardless of gang membership, genocidal purge aligns with radical Aztlan theology" by Paul Joseph Watson from "Prison Planet"

[http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/january2007/220107mexicangangs.htm]
Racist Mexican gangs are indiscriminately targeting blacks who aren't even involved in gang culture, as part of an orchestrated ethnic cleansing program that is forcing black people to flee Los Angeles. The culprit of the carnage is the radical Neo-Nazi liberation theology known as La Raza, which calls for the extermination of all races in America besides Latinos, and is being bankrolled by some of the biggest Globalists in the U.S.
A story carried on the liberal website Alternet [http://www.alternet.org/story/46855/], charts an explosion in brutal murders of blacks by Hispanic street gangs in L.A. Far from being gang on gang violence, the Latinos are targeting innocent blacks in accordance with a concerted ethnic cleansing campaign that seeks to eradicate all blacks from Hispanic neighborhoods.
In one instance, 21-year-old Anthony Prudhomme was shot in the face with a .25-caliber semi-automatic while lying on a futon inside his apartment, slain by a Latino gang known as the Avenues as part of a racist terror campaign in which gang members earn "stripes" for each black person they kill.
In one typical case," writes journalist Brentin Mock, "Three members of the Pomona 12 attacked an African-American teenager, Kareem Williams, in his front yard in 2002. When his uncle, Roy Williams, ran to help his nephew, gang member Richard Diaz told him, "Niggers have no business living in Pomona because this is 12th Street territory." According to witnesses, Diaz then told the other gang members, "Pull out the gun! Shoot the niggers! Shoot the niggers!"
The fatwah against blacks began in the mid-nineties, with a 1995 LAPD report concluding that Latinos had vowed to "Eradicate black citizens from the gang neighborhood." In a follow up report on the situation in east Los Angeles, the LAPD warned that "Local gangs will attack any black person that comes into the city."
The author notes that since 1990 the African-American population of Los Angeles has halved, partly as a result of rampant illegal immigration and that there are noticeably fewer blacks walking the streets because many have been forced to relocate in fear of the racist gangs.
"The LAPD estimates there are now 22,000 Latino gang members in the city of Los Angeles alone. That's not only more than all the Crips and the Bloods; it's more than all black, Asian, and white gang members combined. Almost all of those Latino gang members in L.A. -- let alone those in other California cities -- are loyal to the Mexican Mafia. Most have been thoroughly indoctrinated with the Mexican Mafia's violent racism during stints in prison, where most gangs are racially based," writes Mock.
Mock blames the "Mexican Mafia" for ordering the campaign of ethnic cleansing from prison, as part of a turf war with the Black Guerilla family, another prison gang, but fails to pinpoint the racist creed from which the Mexican kingpins draw their inspiration - the long standing Aztlan invasion agenda.
Aztlan's goal, known as La reconquista, is to cede and take over the entirety of the southern and western states by any means necessary and impose a Communist militant dictatorship. President Bush's blanket amnesty program goes a long way to helping the extremists achieve their aim.
Despite the fact that the majority of documented hispanics oppose illegal immigration, as do the majority of Americans, Aztlan and La Raza race hate groups have become the self-appointed voice for a separatist movement that threatens a violent overthrow of the Constitutional system and a barbaric program of ethnic cleansing. This is held up by the media as 'diversity' and to vociferously oppose it is scorned as racism.
Aztlan and Mecha groups advocate killing all whites and blacks and driving them out of the southern states by means of brutal ethnic cleansing. Flags and placards carried at marches depict white people having their heads cut off, as seen in the picture below.
Those that protest such groups are then attacked by the establishment media and labeled as racists, despite the fact that the Plan of San Diego, a rallying cry for the hispanic Klan groups, advocates total eradication of any race but hispanics.
Mecha's own slogan reads, "For the race everything. For those outside the race, nothing."
TV stations owned by rich white industrialists erect giant billboards in Los Angeles claiming the city belongs to Mexico, as seen below.
Mainstream hispanics who love America abhor the virulent racism that the Mexican klan groups embrace.
And who bankrolls these pocket radicals? Billionaire tax-exempt foundations and NGO's owned by white men. Organizations like the Ford Foundation, groups who are zealous in their quest to eliminate the middle class and destroy America, turning it into a cashless society, compact city, surveillance control grid where only two tiers of society exist - the elite and the poor slaves.
During the May immigration protests, The Aztlanwebsite carried the following statement [http://www.aztlan.net/la_gran_marcha.htm].
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Here is the open call for violent separatism and the overthrow of existing state government structures.
During the immigration demonstrations, which were orchestrated by Rob Allyn of Rob Allyn & Co. who is closely tied with George W. Bush [http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2006/010506mayday.htm], alarming reports of illegals carrying out violent beatings began to surface. In Santa Ana California, illegal aliens swarmed around in mobs invading schools, carrying out violent beatings and in one incident a county worker had a Mexican flag plunged into his chest [http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2006/040506violentinvasion.htm].
The violent protests that began on May 1 last year were characterized by throngs marching under Mexican flags, many of which were illegal aliens, as a "day without gringos." [http://prisonplanet.com/articles/may2006/020506Mexicans.htm]
Imagine what the reaction would be if white middle class Americans marched in their millions and called the event "a day without blacks."
The media continues to run defense for a violent militant movement that seeks nothing less than the eradication of blacks and whites through ethnic cleansing and the takeover of the southern and western states. This is a separatist junta that has over 30,000 ruthless gang members at its disposal once the call for mobilization is heard, along with millions of illegal aliens pouring across the border.
These thugs have the temerity to call Latinos, blacks and whites who are opposed to uncontrolled illegal immigration racists when it is their own La reconquista philosophy that has spawned target hits in Los Angeles as part of a virulently racist ethnic cleansing rampage. It's a bloodlust that can only spread to other cities as the realization of Aztlan is generously aided by billionaire Globalists who wish to see America balkanized, plundered and destroyed.
