WHO KILLED THE RED MESSIAH

FBI LIES
The FBI tale played out in the four day trial of Arlo Looking Cloud.
The lies they had been laying for years came together in the story
that was told at the trial. It can be found on Jordan Dill and Paul
Demain’s sites. They have promoted the FBI story for years.

A new book by Steve Hendricks chronicles the history of the war
between the American Indian Movement and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. It is called “The Unquiet Grave.” One of the casualties
of that war was Anna Mae Aquash. She was unquestionably the most
charismatic and intelligent AIM member to come out of that era.
Hendricks sued the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act to obtain
new documents. The first chapter and the endnotes are published on his
site. http://www.stevehendricks.org/
The endnotes are critical reading because they cite new documents
forced from the FBI hands. These new FOIA documents could radically
change things for Arlo Looking Cloud and John Graham. They tell a
different story than the one crafted by the United States Government.
THE BUZZ BEGINS
There was once a young lady called Anna Mae Pictou Aquash. She was
beautiful and smart. She was a Mic Mac Indian born of red earth. Her
heart pumped blood and revolution.
She was audacious in her defiance of the FBI’s firepower and
treachery. She didn’t run when her friends chose to believe those FBI
lies that she was a traitor.
A body was found in the South Dakota badlands on February 24 1976. The
FBI said she had died of exposure about 10 days before. A second
autopsy said she didn’t freeze to death. She was killed by a bullet to
the brain.
Hendricks notes the description of three different girls. They were
three different heights, three different weights. Did Dr. Brown
actually autopsy a girl that died of exposure?
The FBI had the Wanblee body’s hands cut off and sent to Washington,
for identification they said. The FBI said that while this was not
normal procedure it was not unusual either.
This brings up some horrible thoughts. If there were three bodies,
were they buying time by severing the hands and sending them to
Washington DC for identification? Or did they sever the hands because
the body in the first autopsy was not Anna Mae?
Could Anna Mae have still been alive when the Wanblee body was found
by the rancher Amiotte? On page 391 of “The Unquiet Grave” endnotes
FBI agent David Price states in a memo that he had Anna Mae under
surveillance in February 1976. He describes the clothes she was
wearing. The names of the people she was with and the place they were
seen are blacked out.
Could the people Anna Mae was with in February of 1976 be the real
killers? Were they imbedded operatives? Are they still among us?
Anna Mae was no martyr waiting to happen. She was experienced in self
defense. She knew karate. She knew how to live with the land.
It is ironic that the FBI and their spin meisters now portray her as a
pathetic victim. They say she was overwhelmed and taken prisoner by
two young men Arlo Looking Cloud and John Graham and a middle aged
woman Theda Nelson Clark. In reality she could have defended herself
if she wanted to.
The court accepted FBI story says she was tied to a board and put into
the back of a Ford Pinto. She was a tiny lady, five foot two and one
hundred and ten pounds. It would be impossible to fit a board the
length of even a girl that small into the back of a tiny Ford Pinto
car.
The appeals court said in their denial of his appeal, that if Arlo
helped carry her from the house tied to a board, then he knew she was
to be killed. No one asked how a board with a five foot two woman tied
to it could be fit into the rear compartment of a Ford Pinto.
Anna Mae was driven to Rapid City allegedly to be questioned by the
Wounded Knee Legal Offense Defense Committee. What happened to the
board and the ropes that bound her? There is no more mention of her
being bound to a board. If they had managed to fit her tied to a board
into the Pinto cubbyhole, then when was she released from it? There
isn’t a description of her being carried into Thelma Rios’ empty
apartment still tied to that silly board.
If the interrogation did happen, where were Arlo, John and Theda
during the interrogation of Anna Mae? Did they go back to the
apartment to sleep or were they cooling their heels outside the
office?
Why did they go to Dick Marshall’s house? If they were intent on
murder why did they leave a trail a mile wide and create so many
witnesses? Why did they try to leave her with the Marshalls?
Were they sent to Bill Means house on Rosebud? Who sent them and why?
If they were ordered to take Anna Mae to Bill Means house then why did
they try to leave her with Dick Marshall? Was this hapless wandering
part of a direct action or is it a story to implicate as many AIM
members as possible?
Our desolate, lethal trio hobble back to Pine Ridge with Anna Mae in
tow. They look for a safe out of the way place to kill her. Why did
they have to kill her on Pine Ridge? Why didn’t they kill her at
Rosebud if they received orders there? Why did they leave her body to
be found?
Why didn’t they take the time to bury her? No one would have found her
body if they had taken a little more time. There would have been no
way to trace it back to anyone.
Her body was placed or left there to be found. What purpose was that
to AIM? Who benefited from the murder of Anna Mae Aquash? Who
benefited from the way the FBI says it happened?
Anna Mae had many chances to escape if she wanted to. Would the karate
expert have walked placidly to her death? She had two young daughters
to live for. She would have fought to live for the two most important
people in her life.
Once there was a young lady named Anna Mae Aquash. She shot through
our lives like a comet across the night sky. She was bold and
beautiful and smart.
Anna Mae once said that anyone who walks in my footsteps will know
what I know. Is there anyone brave enough to do what she was killed
for?
She called Paul Giese on December 20 1975 and told her she would see
her after the holidays. Could Paula have proven that Anna Mae was
still alive after December 12 1975?
Did the US government wait until key witnesses were dead to bring this
case to court?
A new book by Steve Hendricks, “The Unquiet Grave” quotes new Freedom
of Information Act documents obtained from the FBI for his book. New
interviews and FOIA documents are referenced in the endnotes.
Hendricks cites a memo that shows that the FBI was concerned about
Anna Mae’s meteoric rise within AIM and her growing influence. Was the
FBI worried that Anna Mae could be the Red Messiah that might unite
us?
Could the real reason that she was killed was that she was a person of
the people. She could talk to the educated and uneducated, the Indian
and non-Indian. She could have brought all of us together. That was
her danger.
I believe our teaching that we don’t get out of this life until our
work is done. In my heart I have a sinking feeling that if Anna Mae
had lived, life would be different, better for us.
