Subject: trimbach's book
I just finished it. It was hard to wade through all those lies, self
aggrandizement, and twists on truth. The funniest was that trimbach
and his agents came under nightly attack by the people they had
surrounded and it was stressful for them. He continually quotes two
elves as a modern day hero. He holds up Kamook as the symbol of
American Indian womanhood. He gloats that Kamook sat with the fbi at
Arlo's trial. He got the girl. At the end he says that Kamook got
crucial evidence by taping Troy Lynn and Arlo. Without their knowledge
I assume. If the statements she got by taping was so crucial, why
wasn't it presented at Arlo's trial. Was Arlo again so drunk or stoned
that he didn't know what he was saying? That would explain why it
wasn't used. We have to trust trimbach's word that it held something
incriminating. Since Kamook is an fbi collaborator trimbach expunges
her complicity and guilt in everything AIM. Kamook awakens to "AIM's
guilt" in the death of Anna Mae. She begins her own investigation into
the case. Kamook according to Trimbach is the kindest person in the
world. She doesn't even hold it against her "best friend" that she was
having an affair with her husband. Trimbach doesn't recognize Kamook
as Dennis' wife. He continually calls her Dennis' common law wife.
Trimbach's racism leaks through though he tries to control it. His
sexism spews all over the place. It's funny how he names and describes
the many women duped by Peltier. He lists the many famous and
intelligent people (The Dalai Lama, Senator Inouye, etc.) who believe
in Leonard's innocence and work to free him. He names and attacks
hollywood movie stars for being so naive as to be hoodwinked by AIM.
He gives his interpretation of Price's words to Anna Mae. That if she
didn't cooperate she would be dead before the year was over. We are
told that Price was actually warning Anna Mae that she was in danger
of being killed by AIm. Trimbach states that unscrupulous AIM spin
meisters twisted those words. He takes on each "myth" that has grown
up around WK73 and Pine Ridge. He denies that the fbi armed the goons
despite Duane Brewers appearances in documentaries stating that they
did. Brewer laughs as he tells how the fbi provided them with armor
piercing rounds. Trimbach calls up Brewer and elicits a retraction and
statement that Matthiessen etc. took his statement out of context. He
says an fbi agent friend gave him the armor piercing rounds so he
could protect his wife and children. Couldn't that fbi agent be
brought up on charges for givin bullets that were only available to
the military to a civilian to be used against a militant group?
Trimbach doesn't think to ask or answer that question. Trimbach also
praises paulprice for doing a 180 degree turn in his support of
Pelter. Yet he refers to paulprice later on as a self-proclaimed
expert on AIM, Anna Mae and the fbi. More subtle racism. He credits
two elves recitation of discovering that his brother was sexually
abusing his own daughter as awakening him to this dark part of Indian
life today. Two elves posted that story on alt.native. He had also
said that his brother had abused two elves daughter. I emailed two
elves off list and told him that he should get his daughter and niece
into counseling so that their healing can begin. I confided that I was
a survivor. When I began defending Arlo's right to be considered
innocent until proven guilty, two elves used that against me,
threatening to make my pain public. That is no modern day hero to me.
We all knew going in that the book was a white wash of the fbi's
criminal activities against Indian people. Trimbach quotes Russell
means as saying that Tim Giagos paper is only worthy of being used in
the outhouse. Trimbach's book is too slimy for even that.

Excellent review, Monica, thanks, I don't think I could stomach
reading it.

Kamook taped an Arlo interview? she was probably trying to sell it to
Rodney Grunt Productions. it's funny, when I talked to her in 1984
outside Mother Butler Center, unloading groceries from an old
Protector-Buick for the troops, she said nothing at all against AIM
re: Anna Mae. Not a hint of collaboration. She had me conned, flirty
flirty! you know what suckers we honky breed-wasichus are! (Oh yeah,
the meeting rally was for her husband Dennis, getting sentenced the
next day in Custer}

Does Trimbach name his old buddy Wart Churchill?

Half of Hendricks book is endnotes. He claims that the fbi imploded
AIM from within. I assume that is by the nonexistent cointel tactics
and fbi plants. He defends his decisions and actions during WK. He
thinks he has been maligned by history. He blames a liberal press for
vilifying him and making heroes of AIM. The book was hard to read
because of it's slant and lies. I had to force myself to wade through
it. It saddened me that he  used Anna Mae as a weapon to get AIM as
two elves and paulprice are doing. He doesn't care any more about her
than they do. He defends Dick Wilson's administration as being one of
the best and msot progressive. He says the goons were hired to protect
Wilson from AIM/ He also states that they were there to protect the
people from AIM's invasion. He states that one year Leonard's defense
committee raised 5 million. He says at one point that he didn't want
his grandchildren to believe how history portrays him. He wrote the
book so they would know "the truth."

I didn't crawl on my belly to kiss "ol joe's" feet. But apparently,
according to his book, you did that enough for the rest of us. Indians
will never have to crawl to a white man ever again.

Subject: Re: trimbach's book
Kamook wore a wire numerous times and she describes this in her
testimony in the Looking Cloud trial. It's not clear why she turned on
her old comrades.  One line of questioning in the trial was about why,
if she were best friends with Aquash, and Aquash was kept hostage for
months and months, she did nothing to help her friend?

One thing that doesn't make sense to me is that if they thought Aquash
was an informant, they would threaten her with a gun, hold her
hostage, and then kill her after a room full of witnesses supposedly
sees her tied up to a board. To me this sounds like asking for
trouble. The rational thing to do, if she were an informant, would be
to ban her from the group, not hold her hostage for 6 months and then
kill her. That would be a suicidal course of action and it doesn't
make sense as a motive. To me it seems more like an anti-motive.

There are two different versions of why she was staying in people's
houses. One is that she was a hostage for something like six months or
more. The second was that she was a fugitive and those people were
helping to hide her. People seem to be accepting a middle ground, that
somehow both of those things were going on at the same time, but this
also sounds strange to me. If AIM thought she worked for the FBI why
would they take her from one safe house to the next?  Then the FBI
would know where all the safe houses were, and all the safehouse
owners would have been harboring a fugitive and Aquash could have
testified against all of them. This would shut down AIM's safehouses
and put a lot of them behind bars. If AIM thought she were an
informant, why would they want to do this?

There is an endless list of things that dont add up in this case, but
if someone can explain what the motives of these people were, it would
make a lot more sense.

I have been reading the court transcripts. The reason is because these
two cases (Arlo's and John's) are being given to the 'white man's
court system' which is composed of people on the outside (like me) who
are very inappropriately called a "jury of his peers". I wanted to put
myself in their place, see what they have heard, understand if it is
even 'reasonable' to be able to come to any type of conclusion.

What strikes *me* as odd is how Kamook was told that Anna Mae was
intimately involved with Dennis Banks about the same time that
'rumors' were going around that Anna Mae was an informant and that
there'd been a confrontation with Peltier. All in the same time
period, around June (the beginning of the 6 months that she was either
'hiding' or being told she couldn't go home). Three things at the same
time seem more than 'coincidental'.

IF... (and only IF) it was true that she had been involved with Dennis
Banks, and that Peltier did put a gun to her head... it is chilling to
imagine the state of fear she might have been in by the time she
travelled here to Washington... with a man who'd threatened her life
already about being an informant (and then jokingly referred to giving
her truth serum - how menacing is *that*?), and the wife of a man
she'd been sleeping with... who says in her testimony that Anna Mae
was being kept "close" in order to be "watched". By all accounts, Anna
Mae was not a stupid woman. She would have been intensely aware of all
the seeds of suspicion that had been planted about her. And even if
there was only truth in the one about Dennis Banks, to travel with the
man's wife to a location so far from her home... would have been
extremely uncomfortable to say the least. I don't find it hard at all
to understand why Kamook wasn't more 'protective', but i find it hard
to understand how this scenario would be very tolerable for either
woman.

Another question that comes up in my mind while reading the
testimonies is:

IF... they didn't think she was an fbi informant, then why would they
want to keep a watch on her? But as you said, if they *did* think she
was an informant, then why let her stay in safehouses? It would give
away the locations. The only reason i can come up with - that would
answer *both* questions - is that maybe it wasn't the fear that she
would inform the 'fbi' about something, but maybe that she would
inform *other people* about something.

Is that possible?

It seems to me that even IF Arlo and John were directly responsible
for Anna Mae's death, that they were not *ultimately* responsible...
in the sense that someone else higher up the ladder had set the whole
thing into motion. At the same time, while not trusting fbi one whit,
i have to wonder how she would be better to the fbi dead than merely
'banished' and left vulnerable enough for them to bring her over to
the 'their side'... if only by making her believe it was for her own
safety. She had information they could have used. It's easy for me to
'believe' that fbi had her killed. What's not easy is finding a motive
for doing so - in terms of what was presented in court.

I am just going off the actual transcripts and nothing else, which is
all a jury has to work with in determining what happened. That's all
John Graham's jury will have also. Since my 'opinion' based on
information that gets provided *outside* the courtroom means nothing
whatsoever, i am trying to see it through the juror's eyes because
theirs are the only *opinions* that did/will make any difference.

As one who sat through the whole "trial' - and recorded notes posted
anonymously on the Graham website {their decision, Matthew Lien's to
post them anonymously, not mine, as I had nothing to hide [but maybe
he, suspiciously, did?] (something's fishy up in Vancouver)} - I can
tell you the jury couldn't come to any other decision about Arlo's
guilt. It was palpable in the Rancid City courthouse, and town.

It was all sealed and delivered by that awful videotape of Arlo's
torture-interrogation in the Denver PD. THAT's what convicted Arlo, to
the jury, and the courtroom in general. It was obvious from all that
stuff and the other "testimonies".

It was horrifying. I was shocked by the ramroding nature of amerikan
"justice". The jury couldn't have come to any other judgement,given
what was presented to them.

Subject: Re: trimbach's book
Even though a lot of clowns try to make this NG ludicrous, it's
obvious from some of these excellent posts a lot of sharp folks are
monitoring it too, including the cointel boys and girls.

Kamook and Ecoffey: women especially have never trusted her, I've
noticed in my many contacts and observations of her and her Co.,
including hollywood, over 30 years, and of course Dennis had a brutal
streak of violence and jealousy when it came to women. Oscar Singer,
one of his Navajo bodyguards at WK, said Dennis put a gun to his head
when he thought Oscar was messing with his woman {I forget who he said
she was, at that particularly moment}. Oscar admired Dennis, but he
was sure he was going to be killed that time. That stuff surrely
inflames Kamook's reactions, since; and like so many others in the
Movement I think most of the time she was trying to do what was right.
Which would explain Anna Mae's friendship with her. I doubt Anna Mae
had an affair with Dennis, given the volatile tensions in his
personality already, and the normal female dynamics. But I don't know,
of course. Kamook of course knew all of AIM's flaws, as we all did,
and didn't need fbi to tell us so.

I didn't see Kamook sitting in the courtroom at all, let alone with
the FBI. But maybe I missed her. (and she was always friendly to me,
probably hoping for a hollywood contact, but also, I think she was
genuinely trying to get something done positive; that of course again
could be my male stupidity - so if she was anywhere outside of the
witness room backstage she'd have probably come over and said hello)

In general, the pigs and establishment media sat on the left side of
the packed courtroom, and Arlo supporters and family on the right side
behind him and Rensch - Demain and Claypoole and Means sat on the ...
left side.

Of course there were no Colorado aimsters there, who claim to care
sooo much.

Nor did that idiot Giago bother to drive across town to cover the
historic trial, but sent a flunky kid, who wrote an incompetent and
deliberately forgettable narrative of it.

Paul, I don't think there was roomful of people who saw Anna Mae tied
to a board. Conflicting testimonies, some of whom didn't mention the
Angie Begay-Janis board story at all, and Rensch effectively
discredited it, almost laughing at the idea. I don't think the jury
believed it either. It was one of those surreal, unbelievable moments
in the trial. Angie was a mess. (and a former wife of Dennis, and
mother of at least one kid - the bastard had BIG troubles with a lot
of women, including plausible stories of rape of teenage girls)

Yes, as far as the treatment of informants, they had a public press
conference denouncing that previous mole Doug Durham and sent him on
his way back to police headquarters. They did not assassinate him - as
R. Means rants he would do to informants in his book.

the motive: is that Anna Mae knew David Hill killed the cops at
Oglala, and Hill was and is the ultimate undercover/overcover
informant provocateur. Even at Arlo's trial - it's all over the
transcript - both defense counsel and prosecutors kept bringing up his
name: Thelma Rios' husband, etc. Anna Mae knew too much, and she
wasn't afraid to talk, exposing the pigs posing as AIM.

Hill is a very charming con man. Kamook testified he talked Anna Mae
into putting her fingerprints on bombs. He traveled everywhere with
her in Brando's RV. He was and is Leonard's right hand man, a right on
Choctaw Bro.

Finally, oldwifetale, they're going to easily convict John Graham on
Arlo Looking Cloud's confession, based on the illegal Denver PD
interrogation. Case closed. I believe John that he had nothing to do
with the killing: why would he? And Arlo just seemed to be hopelessly
confused about the whole goddamn thing, and cynical, resigned. But
John remains the fly in the ointment, hence the incredible 4-year
delay, and counting, in his "trial". And a Grand Jury has been
convened mysteriously. Rumor has it R. Means has also been subpoenaed
for about the 3rd time, in GJs.

Hill walks, Churchill gets his multimillion dollar settlement from CU,
Means is a movie star and Treaty Champ.

I didn't see in the transcripts how they could come to any other
decision either. Which is why i get a little confused about those who
are convinced of Arlo's innocence wanting to 'prove' John Graham's
innocence in the 'american justice system'. Obviously there is a
selection process in what can be presented as evidence, and what
can't. Knowing this, when a case is depending on the 'american justice
system', you have to accept the findings of a jury whether it's
innocence or guilt unless you can come up with *allowable evidence*
that would warrant an appeal. I'm no lawyer, but isn't that how it's
done?

The same selective process is going to occur in this next trial. And
each side is going to present what they think is relevant evidence to
support either innocence or guilt. However... what is the point of a
long court trial when the jury's decision is not going to be accepted
unless they say the defendant is innocent? You are apparently looking
at everything as an AIM supporter, and not through the eyes of the
'white man's court system' or of a jury that is composed of people who
do not know anything about anything in 'indian country'. This
responsibility is being placed on people who can only work with what
is presented to them in the courtroom, they have no personal
background that allows them to 'read between the lines' or notice some
glaring omission in evidence.

And because this does involve AIM members... there is a problem in
terms of trying the case in 'ndn country'. I've been given to
understand that all tribes have their own Ways, and that there is no
*one* indian way of doing things, no pan-indian way of settling all
matters such as the murder of this woman. I can see how this would
have been resolved and the truth perhaps known if the tribes of those
involved had come together to 'decide' on how everything should go.
But that can't seem to happen. And because there is suspicion of fbi
involvement, what kind of justice could occur if it turned out to be
true? On the other hand, if AIM does suspect the fbi was responsible
for the murder... why would the outcome of a trial in the 'white man's
justice system' be satisfactory? In football terms, that is not
exactly playing on your own home field. How could anyone expect that
an fbi involvement would be revealed in such an environment? So i am
confused about AIM's position on all of this too.

You seem to already 'know' that Arlo and John Graham are innocent. I
am not sure how anyone can know this for sure, or with such absolute
certainty. Whereas some people say John Graham and Arlo were there
with Anna Mae (including Arlo - and not only in the interview), no one
has come forward to say, "No, they were not there... they were here."
The court transcripts of Arlo's trial seem to point in the direction
of guilt. I don't know how the juror's could have come to any other
conclusion - right or wrong. So i am assuming that in the upcoming
trial, you know of evidence that will be presented which will prove
conclusively that neither Arlo or John Graham were with Anna Mae when
she was murdered... OR will be able to show who did kill her... or
some other kind of solid evidence. Otherwise... how is this trial
expected to be different than Arlo's?  The 'american justice system'
is not really about finding *the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth* - it is about deciding the innocence or guilt of an
individual "beyond a reasonable doubt". When this happened in Arlo's
trial, people were not satisfied. IF it happens in JG's trial, people
will not be satisfied. So what is the point of it... unless it's a
gamble?

Out of all that has been written, this makes the most sense to me:
That Anna Mae was murdered because of David Hill.  Everything has been
so convoluted and winding. And yes, John Graham willl most likely be
convicted. And the ones MOST responsible will walk away.

So no hopes were hanging on this trial? I was under the assumption
(from your previous posts) that there were. I'm not 'attached' to
anyone's innocence or guilt. I was asked to comment on the issue
before, and declined, but once i did make comments,... i felt commited
somehow to follow up by looking more closely at the transcripts to see
what was actually presented in court. Paul Wolf is a lawyer. I have
responded to his posts twice now, hoping for an actual 'legal'
explanation for various points he made, but with no response.

Btw i have to say that i've seen alot of paranoia in this matter... it
seems as though anyone on the 'outside' who questions the *opinions*
of an AIM member/supporter is automatically an fbi agent or a cointel
person. At first i was offended... even a little 'hurt'...  but now i
am beginning to wonder about such things. It's either paranoia or
blindness (because i only work for myself), but it seems like a common
tactic to plant seeds of suspicion about people who only manage to ask
the 'wrong questions' in an intelligent way.

Whatever it is, it stinks.

And also - it doesn't matter to me if you were in the courtroom, or
who you 'know' or how many names you keep dropping. What was said in
court is what was said in court, it's in the transcripts whether you
were there or not. And that is all i have been commenting on here. The
transcripts.

No matter if Arlo and John Graham were proven innocent or guilty, it
is OBVIOUS that people are walking away scot-free when they shouldn't
be. Is David Hill one of them? I wouldn't know; all anyone has to go
by is the evidence and/or the possibilities that are presented. But
don't expect an 'outsider' to decide that you are telling the truth as
opposed to those who are *sworn in* to tell the truth... without
showing more evidence, and i don't mean in other cases (where someone
might have lied about this or that) but in the case of Anna Mae's
murder. You can't expect anyone on the outside to 'pick a side' and
still remain impartial or objective at the same time - including the
jurors. If the truth was so clear, picking a side would be a moot
point. To me the truth is *not* clear, not even with what has been
said 'outside' of the courtroom. So i'm just picking the side of
truth... WHATEVER IT TURNS OUT TO BE. If you have a problem with that,
i can't help it.

Going ONLY on the evidence, there is none, forensically especially.
The forensic trail was lost 32 years ago when they moved the body from
the wanblee ravine. It can't even be proven that was Anna Mae's body
at all, including from the autopsy photos shown on a big screen in
court - the body's face was blackened from exposure and even the
coroner said he couldn't identify. no habeas corpus. Those kinds of
visuals don't translate in written transcripts. Very emotional impact
on a jury.

ALL the prosecution has is the bizarre "confession" on police
videotape of Arlo looking Cloud in Denver in 2003. He has no lawyer
present, and he's obviously inebriated, even to the police. That's it.
And from the online transcripts I've seen the videotape is not
included. Does anyone have a copy of that to post here? It would be
helpful. I saw it and made notes, but they're not word-for-word. It
flashed by real fast - and real effective.

Where the hope comes in that Graham will get a fair trial, is that he
himself denies any involvement at all, unlike Arlo's passiveness and
silence in his trial. Arlo had kind of a resigned attitude. John and
his lawyers correctly point out that there is no evidence at all. If
he's convicted it'll be on emotional impacts against radical, violent
AIM in South Dakota, still a VERY big visceral factor here.

It's kind of like a reverse-O.J. Factor. Guilt or innocence is
secondary to Race and Terror, raw animal stuff.

It's very confusing when you top-post because i don't know which parts
you are responding to. I tried to find a video of the confession
online, but if it's there, i can't find it. When i read the
transcripts, there was no transcription of the videotaped confession,
only the transcripts of testimonies, examinations and cross-
examinations, plus meetings between attorneys and the judge at the
bench.

Whether Arlo and/or John G. are declared innocent or guilty, it is
very obvious that other people are literally getting away with murder
- there is no doubt either way that her death was ordered by 'someone'
in a higher position than either Arlo or John Graham. So even if it
was found that one pulled the trigger and the other was present at the
time... there are people who are not being held accountable.
Obviously. Whether it was fbi or AIM members with the 'authority' to
put out the order, the fact is that Anna Mae was murdered. So what
happens once John Graham is declared innocent or guilty? A guilty
verdict will never be accepted. Will AIM fight so hard as they have
for Arlo and John Graham... to find those who were truly responsible
for the murder of this woman who was one of their own?

If what you 'believe' is true... then the truth about the murder of
Anna Mae continues to go unresolved after all these years. How is that
acceptable? How is it possible that the truth of her murder has become
secondary to the 'verdict' of two men? The truth would either free or
condemn them, rightfully either way. To me it seems... somehow only
common sense... that proving the truth is where the real 'hopes'
should be... not on proving innocence or guilt, which would be proven
all by itself if only the truth was solidly established.

What actually did happen to her, and why?

That solves everything.

.. who wears a wire for the FBI sometimes and tries to get her friends
to incriminate themselves.  There's something inherently dishonest
about pretending to be someone's friend while secretly be working to
end their lives.  It's an eithical  dilemma that undercover police
have to rationalize.  I'm sure that many do so by dehumanizing the
people they are after, or taking the attitude that the end justifies
the means.  It's one thing to spy on someone, another to pretend to be
their friend to get information. The same criticism applies to Two
Elks.

When a person who is not a law enforcement officer acts in an
undercover role, the question of motive always comes up. Most people,
if told their good friend or family member committed a crime, would
instinctively not believe it, and defend the person. Particularly in
this case, where there is no evidence whatsoever of who committed the
crime. Most of the time, when you have civilians wearing wires, they
do so because they're threatened with prosecution themselves. In Ms
Ecoffey's case, I don't know the motivation. I would have to agree
with her that $40,000 is not a lot of money to be paid to convert into
a police informant.  Neither her or Two Elks knows who committed the
crime.

David to answer your question, Ms Ecoffey could not be in the room for
the trial because of the witness rule. Witnesses are not supposed to
hear any other witnesses testify. They can only be in the courtroom
for their own testimony.

I once heard of a mafia wife who wore a wire around her husband after

tolerance level. Is that "inherently dishonest"? Of all the people
who've ever worn a wire (i imagine thousands), they were probably all
'friends' of the ones being listened-in-on, or at least close enough
to be told things in confidence. Otherwise... what's the point of
wearing a wire in the first place? Do you have reason to believe that
Kamook had an unusual reason for wearing a wire, aside from possibly
wanting to do the 'right thing'? For an attorney who isn't personally
involved in the case, you don't seem very unbiased to me for some
reason. Did you already have a 'side' picked out before you studied
the case?
