PREPARE FOR MILITARY OPPRESSION: OKA BLUEPRINT BROUGHT OUT AGAIN
Brothers, Sisters, Friends and Allies,
We need information about the moves being made against us, solidarity, witnesses to stand with us, alternative communication systems, cameras, food, medicine, runners, people to apply pressure on the Prime Minister, Parliament, Premier of Ontario, Governor General, etc. Addresses and phone numbers are further down this email, contact with and information to media to get the word out, supporters outside of Canada to put pressure on governments, United Nations, protests…. and whatever you can think of to help us prevent bloodshed, imprisonment, persecution.
As happened at Oka some of our communication has been disruped. We need alternative communications systems to ensure safety if someone gets hurt.
We have learned 1000 OPP have been brought in nearby and we received the following email about the Canadian Army (we need verification, if anyone can provide this):

"I wanted to pass on information I heard from an employee who works at the Hamilton Airport. Apparently at 9:30am tomorrow the military will arrive there and begin using the airport as a staging area".
in solidarity,
Thanks, C. What other info do you have? Anything at all. Whatever. Kahentinetha Horn, MNN Mohawk Nation News
*Can anyone verify this information. If so, please inform us asap so we may prepared ourselves for an all-out assault. We remain unarmed.
The Mohawks of Tyendinaga near Belleville have siezed two rail lines (CN and VIA) that go through their territory. They are stopping all rail traffic until the police and military (if that is the case) refrain from assaulting the Six Nations people.
Mohawks of Kahnawake seized the Mercier Bridge for a short time and placed flags as a show of solidarity with our Six Nations brothers and sisters.
Thanks to our Canadian supporters who do NOT want to live under a military dictatorship. Yesterday Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited the former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in Montreal. Mulroney was the Prime Minister during the Mohawk Oka Crisis of 1990. One day after his visit with US President George Bush, he came back to Canada and ordered the army to attack us for defending our ancestral ceremonial site and burial grounds. We were under siege for 78 days. It’s really sad to see that Canadian leaders have learned nothing. If Prime Minister Harper is using the Mulroney blueprint, he’s headed for disaster. Look at the botch up that guy made in 1990. If he’s listening to George Bush, we’re all in trouble.
We need negotiation, consent and peaceful coexistence. The Six Nations grievances are deeply rooted, complex and well documented, going back centuries.

EXTREME HIGH ALERT! POLICE MOVE IN FOR THE SLAUGHTER
Twenty RCMP vans arrived loaded with Mounties and weapons arrived. Ambulances nearby. Need people right now! Phone working sporadically. Need alternative communications. Need people to stand with us with cameras, eyes and ears. Contact everybody you can to get the word out. Need some medical personnel to help in case of injury. OPP and it is believed the Canadian Army are coming in too at Hamilton airport at 9:30 am.
9:10 am
Need more people. The Coalition in Support of Indigenous Sovereignty stated that the presence of 1000 OPP was confirmed by CHCH TV news this morning. RCMP are using the Hamilton Airport as a staging ground.
Behind Canadian Tires on Kinross St. Caledonia, there were 18 – 11 passenger vans, great big ones. They are full OPP officers. One seen with gun on passenger side. There were some standing behind the vans. Couldn’t tell what they were doing.
From Marlene: “Yesterday at night at Radio Canada (CBC in french) , at the end of 6:00 pm news they invited a rights specialist, and he told what happens now was highly predictable due to Canada's mistakes on the matter of territories and that your claims might be justificated ( welll....it is still CBC, they won't accept to say you guys are totally right !) . Not surprisingly though, the only coverage of the event shows images of haudenasaunee flags and tires burning, nothing about police violence. This media manipulation is sickening”.
