		<description><![CDATA[Is the St. Lawrence Seaway Corporation's recent actions, the same as Declaring War on all Indians that do not pay taxes?  Ask their administrator, Mr. Collister Johnson.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_225" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 100px"><a href="http://www.akwesasnewomensfire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/akwesasne_new_map.gif"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-225" title="akwesasne map 2" src="http://www.akwesasnewomensfire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/akwesasne_new_map-90x90.gif" alt="akwesasne map" width="90" height="90" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">akwesasne map</p></div>
<p><!--startcolumns--><br />
Today&#8217;s story that I am responding to, is  found online &#8216;<a href="http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20091114/NEWS02/311149980/-1/news">Seaway Official dispels Myths</a>&#8216;.</p>
<p>Collister Johnson is the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation&#8217;s. Administrator.  He asked to be interviewed by the Watertown Daily Times newspaper.  During his interview, Collister Johnson stated that the Seaway Corporation supports giving the U.S. Coast Guard additional controls along the Seaway (Great Lakes, St. Lawrence River).  </p>
<p>The Seaway Corporation and U.S. Coast Guard chooses to ignore and even criminalize all the &#8216;Indians&#8217; that are the Original titleholders of the lands and the Seaway that the British, USA, and Canada are trying to steal away from the &#8216;Indians&#8217;.  The Seaway Corporation and the U.S. Coast Guard also have a long history of disregarding treaties and breaking their own laws that they create, when they are caught in their sinister acts.  </p>
<p>The English words, phrases, and labels are created to trick the Original Sovereign of a land or waterway,  into agreeing to give away their lands and waterways.  It&#8217;s a form of self-oppression that the British corporations (USA and Canada) have left as a legacy, on every Sovereign, land, waterway, air, and even space that they plan to steal.  Please make time to research the origins of mainstream words with a critical eye.  </p>
<p>Black&#8217;s Law, 1st Edition is an antique and one of the most telling resources to find clues about Britain&#8217;s original sinister plan to pillage The Americus Empire.  </p>
<p><!--column-->English speakers today, continue the British corporations&#8217; sinister plans, as we use those English words and phrases to communicate.  Even those of us that purposefully research this, are easily tricked into using those English language words, during our normal daily routine.  It&#8217;s not too late, to wake up and start exercising our own brains, by questioning everything, everyone, and ourselves.  </p>
<p>Find out what the original language is, that your own ancestors spoke.  Then find out what they truly referred to themselves as, in their own language.  Be careful of literal translations of endangered languages.  Literal translations are often misunderstood by English speakers that lack knowledge about the symbolism and lifestyles during the era, before a language became endangered or extinct.  Never assume English documents or any document from an oppressor is providing an honest critical view of any topic.</p>
<p>The words &#8216;Indian, Mohawk, First Nation, Aboriginal, Indigenous, Native&#8217; were created by the British to describe their own citizens, property, and even their own slaves.  That is why the British, English, U.S.A. and Canada corporations are caught spending so much time, money, and resources into destroying or taking ownership of endangered languages, that Sovereigns spoke.  </p>
<p>The term &#8216;Mohawk&#8217; is found in Black&#8217;s Law 1st Edition as an English term that refers to &#8216;ruffians in the street&#8217;.  Check out the year that book was written and what life was like for the English at that time.  You will discover interesting views that are not being taught in mainstream schools.</p>
<p><!--column-->The Watertown Daily Times, stated that Mr. Collister Johnson is fighting for the survival of global trade in the Great Lakes shipping system. Some environmental groups have called for closing the Seaway to ocean vessels to keep out invasive species and pollution that harms the natural environment and the Akwesasne community.  They all completely disregard, ignore, and even attempt to criminalize the Original people with a birthright to the Seaway.  </p>
<p>Mr. Collister Johnson, cited the <strong>Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909</strong> that ensures &#8220;the navigation of all navigable boundary waters shall forever continue free and open&#8230;&#8221;.  <em>another treaty that the whites tried to force &amp; trick onto the Original Land Titleholders of the Americus Empire.</em></p>
<p>&#8220;But the United States cannot do so on its own, people who advocate (<em>stopping any type of business within the Seaway</em>) don&#8217;t realize it&#8217;s like declaring war on Canada&#8230;&#8221; Mr. Collister Johnson said.</p>
<p>Mr. Collister Johnson apparently understands that stopping all Indian businesses around the Seaway is like Declaring War on all Indians, within the Indians own homelands and waterways.</p>
<p>How much is being pillaged out of the Lands of Onkwehonwe, Americus Empire, while Onkwehonwe are without clean air, water, land, homes?  While those same corporations declare War on all Indians and force them to all stop their own self-sufficient businesses?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How and why is Cornwall RCMP Sgt. Michael Harvey planning to force every last Indian to pay taxes to the USA or Canada?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>note: this happens with all Indian businesses, not just tobacco. this is a response to http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/725808&#8211;chasing-smoke</em></p>
<p>Because the RCMP violently attacks Indians that refuse to become tax-paying citizens of Canada, Indians are forced to operate on their waters and lands with no lights at night.  The St. Lawrence River is a water highway within Akwesasne. </p>
<p>Akwesasne is in a unique position: because the U.S.A. &#038; Canada are pushing and intimidating Onkwehonwe to become fully assimilated, tax paying citizens of their corporations. Indians in Akwesasne still refuse to become citizens of the USA and Canada corporations. </p>
<p>Quebec, Ontario, and New York state politicians are seen criminalizing Indians that refuse to become citizens of their governments.  They frequently run media blitzes to criminalize all Indians, just before hiring surrounding police and military groups to violently attack Indians that refuse to pay taxes and become full citizens.  <em>see previous post about CJOH, 1997 NY State Troopers violently attack Onondaga, the Oka Crisis</em></p>
<p>&#8220;A fisherman complained about shots being fired over his head, this past summer&#8221;, RCMP Sgt. Michael Harvey said.  Harvey claims the boat must have strayed too close to Akwesasne and &#8220;they told him to get the hell out of there.&#8221;  <em>That is another example (of many) of how Cornwall RCMP Sgt. Michael Harvey frequently uses the mainstream media to criminalize the entire Akwesasne community and all Indians.</em></p>
<p>Harvey believes the tobacco trade is a crime when Indians are profiting, because they are not paying taxes like good citizens of Canada or USA.  <em>Harvey goes as far as to claim that all Indians that do not pay taxes to Canada or the USA, are all criminals that finance organized crime! </em></p>
<p>&#8220;Some 25 of 105 known criminal organizations operating in Canada are at work in Cornwall&#8221;, Harvey told the Star.<br />
&#8220;These gangs are not only involved in smuggling tobacco, but in taking drugs back into the U.S. on the return trips. They also engage in firearms and people smuggling&#8221;, Harvey said.</p>
<p>The RCMP published a confidential document that raises concerns that Indian tobacco businesses are used to fund terrorism, a fear shared by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.  <em>If the Indians agree to fully assimilate, become full tax paying citizens of Canada or the USA, the RCMP might stop falsely criminalizing and violently punishing all Indians?  </em></p>
<p>The RCMP stole 1,079,529 cartons of Indian cigarettes, in 2008. The Mounties&#8217; stole 625,659 cartons from Indian tobacco businesses in 2007.  That is not counting the underground business where rogue officers do not claim the cigarettes and cash,  they steal from Indian tobacco dealers.</p>
<p>A smoker caught with Indian cigarettes in Ontario risks minimum fine of $500 from Ontario Ministry of Finance enforcement officers.</p>
<p>Harvey, Sgt. of the Cornwall RCMP: &#8220;We know of businesses receiving cash payments for high-end goods from those involved in the (Indian tobacco trade). Large amounts of money are being generated by this black market economy and is being spent in the Cornwall region.&#8221;</p>
<p>Indian businesses are not new to Akwesasne and Cornwall. Locals remember when the high cost of disposable diapers in Canada sparked a brisk underground trade with Indian businesses in Akwesasne.</p>
<p>The big money comes from the distribution side. According to police, one of their made-up kingpin cartoon characters, admitted to making $250,000 a week, while a courier transporting the Indian cigarettes to smoke shacks on reserves pockets up to $6,000 a week.  <em>The green-eyed jealousy monster rears its ugly head amongst the RCMP that are so busy criminalizing Indians, that they are no longer able to keep their own backyards and homes clean.</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Our investigations have revealed that many of the runners are involved in the illicit tobacco trade because they can make quick and easy money. It has always been the case and more so now since the economy has been affected by the recession.&#8221;  <em>Wow, I didn&#8217;t realize that tobacco business is quick and easy money. R.J. Reynolds and non-Indian business men say it is work.  No?  Oh, I get it, only Indians will be falsely accused of earning quick and easy money by the RCMP.</em></p>
<p>A trial project this summer saw Canadian and American law enforcement officials work side-by-side on Canadian Coast Guard ships, which allowed the ships to bully Indians in their own homelands and waters on both sides of the international border.</p>
<p>&#8220;Those ships will be operating soon with joint law enforcement officers on the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence Seaway, other coastal waterways. That&#8217;ll give us a very powerful tool on ( stopping all Indian businesses )&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The federal government also created the task force on (Indian Tobacco Products), led by Van Loan&#8217;s ministry. The strategy calls for targeting resources to dismantle the manufacturing plants, disrupt supply lines and discourage consumption from any Indian business. </p>
