I am at the Davis vs CBSA Human Rights Tribunal, waiting for it to start. I will post what I see and hear. I won’t post too much about my own opinion today. I want to take some time to process everything I see and hear about this tribunal this year, and then I will post a story about what I personally think about the Davis vs CBSA Human Rights Tribunal, later this year. Wow, only a few more weeks left to this year.

9:37 am, The Chair, Réjean Bélanger, is explaining the next hearing will be held from 15th to 19th of March and 22nd to 26th of March 2010.  Richard Jacobs (Oka Dick) is being called in as the witness.

9:40 am, Richard Jacobs is being sworn in, with a bible.  Kakwerais is asking Richard Jacobs to look at documents and asking if the documents are his.  Richard Jacobs is stating that its his document, but it has some changes.  He said it is rough, because he felt this case was going nowhere, like all the other cases like this one (Davis vs CBSA Human Rights Tribunal).  Richard Jacobs is saying the document was just given to his supervisor as a rough draft.  Richard Jacobs is stating he was Mohawk Security Officer at the CBSA port for 24 1/2 years so far, as of this year.  Richard Jacobs is stating that he lives on Cornwall Island even during the time he has been a Mohawk Security Officer.

9:46 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining the changes he has seen with the relationship between CBSA and the Mohawk community. He sees that the relations have soured in the last 8 or 9 years, because the bad treatment of Natives has increased.  Richard Jacobs is saying that he thinks the relationship changed for the worse, when the older CBSA officers retired, that the newer CBSA officers started treating the Mohawks poorly.  Richard Jacobs explained that the older CBSA officers seemed to treat travelers with more respect and maintained a friendly atmosphere.

9:49 am,  Richard is responding that the newer CBSA officers received education about the Akwesasne community in regards to the borders, a few years ago.  Someone was driving the newer CBSA officers and Immigration officers,  around the Akwesasne community to show them where the borders are.

9:54 am, Richard Jacobs just said that he does not know who Lucinda Reading is.  Lucinda is missing from this meeting this morning.  Richard Jacobs is talking about a ‘cultural sensitivity’ class about the Mohawks, that only one CBSA officer attended.  Richard Jacobs is stating that CBSA officers attended the career fair, at the Anokowara Arena each year.  Richard Jacobs said he never attended the career fair, that other Mohawk Security did attend and they were paid to attend the career fair.

9:59 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining that an xray machine was at the CBSA port on November 17th, (he does not know it’s called VACIS).  Richard Jacobs remembers seeing the VACIS team scan commercial vehicles.  Richard Jacobs is stating he does not know how many times the VACIS machine and team was at the CBSA port.  Richard Jacobs said the VACIS team & machine was at the CBSA port before November 17th 2005.

10:02 am, Richard Jacobs is stating that he never received any training about the VACIS machine or team.  Richard Jacobs is explaining that he felt that if he started directing black suvs to the commercial zone, that if it was Natives in the middle of a big contraband hit, that Mohawk security would be in a bad spot, possibly blamed.

10:05 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining that he works through Mohawk Council, under CBSA. Richard Jacobs is explaining that he felt the VACIS team put Mohawk Security ‘on the spot’, and that their was ‘no blitz’.  Richard Jacobs is explaining that he could intervene with Natives in secondary that give CBSA officers a problem, because Mohawk Security is peace officers.

10:08 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining that the Mohawk Security office is at the corner of the old CBSA building on Kawehnoke (Cornwall Island, Ontario).  Richard Jacobs agreed that Mohawk Security is for all people and not just Natives.

10:13 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining that when he was a Mohawk Security officer and CBSA asked for his assistance it was because they were nervous.  Richard Jacobs stated that CBSA never asked for the Mohawk Security to assist them on November 17 nor November 18th.

10:15 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining that he watched camera 3 and that they should have been recording the events, because they record 24 hours, 7 days a week.  Richard Jacobs is stating that their was no reason that the video camera would not have been recording, their were no power failures, their were no renovations, their was no reason for the cameras to not be recording.  Richard Jacobs is guessing that the cameras might have been installed about 3 years before 2005. Richard Jacobs is stating that he is not aware of any reason for the tapes to disfunction or not record properly.  Richard Jacobs just said that he never personally looked at the tapes.

10:20 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining that sometimes the tape recordings were subpoenaed by lawyers. He is pointing out where cameras were located on the CBSA building in 2005.  He thinks their might have been about 12 cameras in 2005 and today their are about 35 or more.

10:24 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining that when Mohawk Security was taping Fallan Davis with camera 3, that he  did not look at the other cameras, because he put the camera 3 on full screen.  Richard Jacobs is explaining that the front counter was probably also looking at the cameras and that they could also get different views (full screen from one camera, full screen from all cameras).  Richard Jacobs is explaining that many CBSA officers could view the camera livefeeds from many locations.

10:27 am, Richard Jacobs is stating that those cameras were recording and the tapes should exist.  Richard Jacobs is explaining that the VACIS team and officers that were digging around in Fallan’s car, caught everyone’s attention.  Usually only 2 officers dig around a vehicle.  Richard Jacobs recalls seeing 4 or 5 officers digging around Fallan’s car, so everyone thought they must have found something really big in Fallan’s vehicle.

10:30 am, Richard Jacobs is stating that is was very unusual, to see how the officers started going after Fallan Davis.  Alot of yelling, screaming, pointing their fingers right into her face, at least two officers (Kevin Sills) were in Fallan’s face.  Richard Jacobs, was shocked that Kevin Sills was behaving ‘like another person’, because Richard had never seen him like that.  normally Kevin Sills was polite with anyone else.  Richard Jacobs is explaining that Kevin Sills, was just out of it, going after Fallan Davis with alot of anger, his face right in Fallan’s face, Kevin Sills finger was right in Fallan’s face, while he screamed at her, that Kevin Sills was right in Fallan’s face. Richard thought it seemed like Fallan was trying to answer Kevin Sills questions and demands.  Richard Jacobs keeps saying, the tape will show all of this.

10:35 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining their were at least 3 monitors and controls total; 1 in security office, 1 in supervisor office, and  1 in front counter back in 2005 during Davis incident.  Richard Jacobs is explaining that most of the secondary checks were coming from the Indian Lane (p4 lane).  “We had a feeling, my partner and I, that they were going after, probably a Native, we weren’t sure, but most likely, and it turned out to be Natives”  because the blitz was done on black suvs in the Indian Lane

10:42 am, Richard Jacobs is explaining how travelers get to the secondary inspection.  Richard is explaining that even though they have a computer that picks out the travelers, it still seems like it’s usually Natives being put into the secondary inspection.  Richard Jacobs is explaining how Mohawk Security was concerned because it seemed like mostly Natives were being put into secondary inspection.

prior to november 18 2005, he does not remember seeing another vehicle being scanned by VACIS. He also remembers a dark grey/black vehcile, being scanned by VACIS after Fallan Davis. He does remember only commercial vehicles being scanned by the VACIS machine.

10:47 am, Richard Jacobs is stating, on May 31st 2009, someone (only CBSA officers were allowed in the locker room)  broke the lock on Richard Jacobs locker and stole his notebooks that referred to this incident with Teiohontathe Fallan Davis.

We are all going on a quick break until 11:00 am.

My previous posts about the events are also found online at “CBSA stopped tribunal by arresting Davis for roaming freely around Akwesasne” and “Davis vs. CBSA human rights tribunal stopped again by the CBSA“. Another good video to watch, so that you can get a good idea of how the C.B.S.A. is trying to force Katenies, the Davis family, and all Onkwehonwe to become ‘Canadian tax payers’ can be found online and is titled “Court Ignores Mohawk Jurisdiction, by Lia Tara“. It’s interesting to note that the video shows Katenies at the cornwall court house, more than a year ago.

I have to question why the C.B.S.A. and the Crown waited for more than a year, to chain – imprison and try to force Katenies to be held under the British Crown?  Onkwehonwe are not Canadians nor are we British!  Why did the C.B.S.A. and Crown choose to imprison Katenies, stopping her from attending the Davis vs. Human Rights Tribunal?  Why did the CBSA refuse to tell us why they  arrested Katenies on thursday December 3 2009?  When did the CBSA get authority to arrest Katenies and any Onkwehonwe for roaming freely around Akwesasne?

When ‘Show and Tell’ involves C.B.S.A.  and government agents that assume their activities are secret, it tends to look like a scene from a prison camp dictatorship.  The photos, audio and video that were recorded, while the C.B.S.A. harassed us, lied to us, and imprisoned Katenies has been sent to many safe locations and it is available from AkwesasneWomensFire.com.

Not one of us are criminals, our only ‘crime’ according to CBSA and the Canada corporation, is that we choose to roam freely around Akwesasne, our homelands, the Americos Empire.

You can listen to what everyone said for yourself, by clicking the audio links next to each picture ( I will post asap ).  CBSA trailer also has cameras and they record everything inside their trailer and the CBSA barricade on Brookdale avenue at the north edge of the bridge. Historically, the CBSA mysteriously lose or damage their own recordings, each time they abuse anyone though.  That is why everyone is encouraged to record and document everything they encounter at all times.

This first photo is a young man that claimed to be a C.B.S.A. agent.  He was wearing a gun, weapons, vest, black uniform while he ‘processed my ID’ in the CBSA trailer next to Hieberts restaurant, on Brookdale Avenue in Cornwall Ontario.  He told me that he does not have to wear a badge number when I asked him what his badge number was.  He laughed and scoffed at my question, carried my ID card to a desk.  He wrote notes about my ID card, then took it over to a copy machine.

His superior (#16210) also backed up the anonymous CBSA agent’s statements by telling me that hiding badge numbers was an ‘internal matter’ that did not concern me.  I kept questioning both of them and they both laughed at me.  They insisted that they are not required to wear nor show their badge numbers at any time.

I stepped out of the CBSA trailer and requested more cameras to go inside with me, to find out the badge number of the CBSA agent.  The slimy behavior of the CBSA agents (today and in the past), give me cause to be alarmed that they plan to abuse their position at any time.

When I returned with cameras,  the anonymous CBSA agent ran into the back room of the CBSA trailer and tried to quickly put a badge number on his uniform.  He returned to me and my camera, smiling.  He  tried to place a badge number on my camera lens.   The new badge number he produced, was  #20372, but his actions give me reason to never trust him or his superiors.

CBSA agent # 16210 stated again that the badge numbers are not required, an internal matter, and did not concern us.  I stated that I do not believe anything that liars say to me and their was now no way for me to know if that new badge number even belonged to the anonymous CBSA agent. Here is a photo of the CBSA agent that claimed he is never required to show or tell what his badge number is (while he is carrying a gun too!).

CBSA agent refused to wear or show his badge number, while wearing gun, weapons, taking my ID card away and making copies. (maybe #20372)

Here are photos of the CBSA agent that claimed to be the superior of the above CBSA agent.  The following CBSA agent (# ) is the one that told me that they never have to wear or show their badge numbers to any of us, while they are in uniform, carrying firearms, and imprisoning any of us.  He also refused to say why he chained and imprisoned Katenies.  Then he stated that he did not know why he arrested Katenies.  Then he stated that he can arrest anyone at any time.

Katenies was chained and imprisoned in a room, in the CBSA trailer. The CBSA agents in the trailer, were overheard talking about how Lucinda Reading and Sean Gaudet setup a ‘lookout synopsis’ the day before, as part of their plan to stop Davis from attending the Davis vs. CBSA Human Rights Tribunal. Katenies was denied communication with anyone. CBSA and the Crown tried to force their own Canadian lawyer onto Katenies and her family. The Crown denied Katenies the ability to speak for herself and now they threaten to imprison and hide Katenies until March 2010. Teihontathe Fallan Davis continues to attend the Human Rights Tribunal, even while her mother Katenies is being imprisoned, hidden, and silenced by CBSA, the Crown, and the dictatorship that I know as Canada corporation.

I noticed that the USA border has erected a new metal barracade on the north edge of the bridge to Kawehno:ke, in the past few days. I wonder if the elders fears will come true, when they say the corporations of USA and Canada will imprison all Onkwehonwe?

• C.B.S.A. = Canadian Border Services Agency.  A Canadian Union.  Note that CBSA duties do not state that they decide when Onkwehonwe are ‘allowed’ to leave and return from our homes around Akwesasne!
