ONIGONRA "THINK TANK" THROWS LIGHT ON MAJOR MYSTERIES:
WHAT CAUSES "ABORIGINAL POVERTY"?
WHY ARE JAILS FULL OF "ABORIGINALS"?
WHY DON’T "ABORIGINAL" PEOPLE WANT TO BE COPS?
ANSWERS PANIC CANADIAN "INTELLIGENCE" INDUSTRY!

MNN exclusive by Ieriwa’on:ni & MNN Staff 25 July 2008
Canada has serious problems. Countless Royal Commissions have been
struck. Millions have been spent. The answer they want is how can the
colonial government and its agencies control Indigenous people until every
last bit of our land and resources are stolen from us. The Onigonra Think
Tank answers some nagging questions – FREE OF CHARGE!!

1. WHAT CAUSES "ABORIGINAL POVERTY"?

Indigenous poverty is deliberately created to force us owners of every
square inch of land and resources onto the begging line. "Poverty" is
"not having the necessities of life". Before the colonists arrived there
was no "aboriginal poverty". Our ancestors survived and thrived though
two ice ages or more. The first European arrivals marveled at how healthy
we were and how long we lived. They had to put a stop to it so they could
rob us blind. We brought food and medicines to help these pitiful scurvy
creatures who stumbled to our shores and could not look after themselves.

These trespassers were physically and mentally ill. They responded to our
generosity by killing us, vandalism of our resources and damaging our
environment. They refused to leave their weapons on their ships. They
shot cannon at us, tried to turn us into slaves and serfs and paid rewards
for our scalps. They grabbed everything in sight, including our people.

The surviving Onkwehonwe were left without the necessities of life and
confined to tiny "reserves" without viable economies or even clean
drinking water.

CONCLUSION: "Aboriginal poverty" was and continues to be created by
colonial theft, vandalism and greed.

SOLUTION: The colonists are mentally ill. How do they overcome their
inhibitions against sharing and respect for others? By giving everything
they stole back to us and repairing the environment.

2. WHY ARE SO MANY "ABORIGINAL PEOPLE" IN JAIL?

Jailing us has been INCREASING since the Royal Commission on Aboriginal
Peoples. They wanted to figure out how to accelerate this. The RCMP,
Canadian bureaucrats and university gnomes are paying consultants millions
of dollars to find ways to get more Indians to be guilty of more "crimes".

In 1877 a penitentiary was built in Prince Albert 28 years before
Saskatchewan entered Canadian Confrauderation and 2 years after the
Canadian war against Louis Riel and the Prairie Nations.

FACT: Canada thought it needed its own "Abu Graib on the Prairies" to try
to kill and scare Indigenous people into submission. All over Turtle
Island Onkwehonwe were convicted of trespassing and other colonial crimes
such as hunting and fishing or sharing wealth through traditional Potlatch
ceremonies. Inmates were flogged, tortured, killed or imprisoned. Famous
spokesmen like Poundmaker and Big Bear got sick and died in jail.

CONCLUSION: Jails were and continue to be used to enforce the colonists’
goal to trespass and steal the lands of our ancestors and the coming
generations. The trespassers must respect the Two Row Wampum and
Onkwehonwe sovereignty and jurisdictions.

It’s all about money. Indian Affairs has a monopoly on "aboriginal"
prisoners it works at creating. When a judge sentences an Indian, the
province jails them and gets money for them from the feds. It’s the
"Go–Directly–to–Jail–Do–Not–Pass–Go–and–We’ll–Collect–$200" program.
When provincial citizens go to jail, the province has to pay out of its
own budget. To make money live "Indians" are needed for long sentences
without parole to make it profitable. Otherwise jails would have to close
down.

The Canadian monsters are helping their friends get rich by selling off
the jail business to an American franchise. Can’t you see it? "McJails R
US". One is already being built in the middle of Tyendinega where they
see a lot of young Mohawk people they can trap.

The same old spread sheets are being recycled from the residential schools
concentration camps pogrom that killed off half of our children. The
ghost of its engineer, Duncan Campbell Scott, hovers from his rat hole.
His motto would be it’s "good accounting practice" to keep the "cells"
full". If they can’t git enough "Injuns", they create new crimes, like
designating all Mohawks as "insurgents", "terrorists" and "global risks".

Instead of turning old jails into mental hospitals for ousted politicians
and jack–booted police chiefs, the colonizers are building new ones known
as "lifer prisons". This gives them an excuse to stint on health care,
education and infrastructure.like drinking water.

THE SOLUTION? Take away the profit motive for imprisoning "aboriginal
people" and the need for jails will disappear.

3. WHY DON’T"ABORIGINAL" PEOPLE WANT TO BE COPS?

In reality we do NOT have an internal policing problem. Our problem is
the "foreigners" who keep trying to entrap us, force themselves on us and
take everything we have.

Colonial police and jails are not part of our culture. In 1991 the
federal government announced a policy "to deliver special police services
that respect aboriginal culture" into jail houses to keep us there. They
set up beads and feathers workshops and put in sweat lodges.

Onkwehonwe culture is based on the TWO ROW WAMPUM principle:

1) We are all equal. We all have a voice. We respect each other’s right
to self–determination, sovereignty and jurisdictions. Our social
relations are alliances and we agree to help and defend each other. We
are not British subjects or Canadian citizens. This designation was
forced on us without our knowledge or consent, violating international
law.

2) We base our decisions on consensus. If there were problems, people got
together and figured out how to deal with it.

Canada is a trespasser and plunderer state. It rides rough shod over
Onkwehonwe jurisdictions. It uses foreign police, courts and military to
steal all our resources.

According to government policy, good jobs are meant to be hard to find in
an Ongwehonwe community. The only work available is for the colonizing
agencies to hire our people to enforce foreign laws and control over our
lives. Today pawns willing to be part of the "death squads" are earning
almost as much as doctors, well over $100,000 a year!! They are more than
willing to sell out the principles our ancestors fought so hard to defend.

In 1996, 77% of police officers invading our communities were
"aboriginal". Now it’s dropped to 55%. Decent, honest, family–loving
Onkwehonwe won’t herd their own people into the ovens no matter how big
the pay is.

FACT: "Aboriginal Police" are amongst us to force colonial law down our
throats on behalf of their foreign masters.

FACT: Real Onkwehonwe don’t want to assault and betray their people.

There is no mystery. It looks more and more like the colonists have to
change or die. The colonists must leave Onowaregeh/Turtle Island, go and
learn a better way to live and let us Indigenous peoples re–establish the
original natural life affirming society.

PLEASE NOTE : As can be seen, it’s becoming critical for legal actions to
be taken soon to protect our rights. We have no funds. Canada is hiring
costly law firms to defend their illegal actions and suppress our rights.
