Feb. 6 Statement by Leonard Peltier
Greetings to everyone,
34 years. It doesn�t even sound like a real number to me. Not when one
really thinks about being in a jail cell for that long. All these years
and I swear, I still think sometimes I�ll wake up from this nightmare in
my own bed, in my own home, with my family in the next room. I would
never have imagined such a thing. Surely the only place people are
unjustly imprisoned for 34 years is in far away lands, books or fairy tales.
It�s been that long since I woke up when I needed to, worked where I
wanted to, loved who I was supposed to love, or did what I was compelled
to do. It�s been that long-long enough to see my children have
grandchildren. Long enough to have many of my friends and loved ones die
in the course of a normal life, while I was here unable to know them in
their final days.
So often in my daily life, the thought creeps in-�I don�t deserve this�.
It lingers like acid in my mouth. But I have to push those types of
thoughts away. I made a commitment long ago, many of us did. Some didn�t
live up to their commitments, and some of us didn�t have a choice. Joe
Stuntz didn�t have a choice. Neither did Buddy Lamont. I never thought
my commitment would mean sacrificing like this, but I was willing to do
so nonetheless. And really, if necessary, I�d do it all over again,
because it was the right thing to do. We didn�t go to ceremony and say
�I�ll fight for the people as long as it doesn�t cost too much�. We
prayed, and we gave. Like I say, some of us didn�t have a choice. Our
only other option was to run away, and we couldn�t even do that. Back
then, we had no where left to run to.
I have cried so many tears over these three plus decades. Like the many
families directly affected by this whole series of events, my family�s
tears have not been in short supply. Our tears have joined all the tears
from over 500 years of oppression. Together our tears come together and
form a giant river of suffering and I hope, cleansing. Injustice is
never final, I keep telling myself. I pray this is true for all of us.
To those who know I am innocent, thank you for your faith. And I hope
you continue working for my release. That is, to work towards truth and
justice. To those who think me guilty, I ask you to believe in and work
for the rule of law. Even the law says I should be free by now,
regardless of guilt. What has happened to me isn�t justice, it isn�t the
law, it isn�t fair, it isn�t right. This has been a long battle in an
even longer war. But we have to remain vigilant, as we have a righteous
cause. After all this time, I can only ask this: Don�t give up. Not
ever. Stay in this fight with me. Suffer with me. Grieve with me. Endure
with me. Believe with me. Outlast with me. And one day, celebrate
freedom with me. Hoka hey!
In the Spirit of Crazy Horse,
Leonard Peltier

Wow. Thirty-four years ago. I was just recently thinking of someone I met
in Palm Springs last winter who is now a Facebook friend, who used to belong
to AIM (American Indian Movement). She is now a serene retiree of the EPA
in the US who through the years has become somewhat conservative. However,
one night after her (even more conservative) husband went to bed, she
entertained me on a patio under the stars for a long time recounting her
days with AIM, life with Pelletier and other such notables as Marlon Brando
and Sacheen Little Feather.

This is second on my donation list right after the hoodope brain
installation.
You don't, and will never, have shit to share because excrement is your
entire cosmology. You are too toilet-paper-wrapped-up in yourself to
care about anyone else.

Don't waste your time with Erik with respect to humanitary issues - he's
dead.
Still not funny
I have sympathy for the families of the FBI agents that he murdered,

You're boxing outside your low-to-no class. You'd have to understand the
statement to pass judgment upon it.

That's quite a statement coming from someone whose heroes are cops who
anally rape (with a broom handle) persons held in police custody.

Your money. You can waste it anyway you see fit. If there is a
collection to buy bullest to shoot Peltier in the head, I am in.
You make roy look like George Carlin.
And why should anyone be concerned about the state of you mother's
health.
You exude fecal incontinence; physically and verbally.

"Yiur" alcoholic beverage injection system needs an adjustment to lean
out the rate of flow.

Well, there's some progress. Admitting you are a useless alcoholic
fuck-up is a start toward self-examination.

"Hoo" doesn't. You're merely an alcohol-addled vile turd and prove it
via most every post you transmit into this newsgroup. I'm sure in person
you're far worse. And that, like yourself, is despicable.
You really are a total fucking waste. Suicide is clearly your only
option.

I guess you have an advantage, there. After all, you can't kill a turd
so suicide won't work in your case.

Do you ever say anything remotely humorous?

You personally will never know as long as you remain soaked in alcohol
and frothing over baseball players. Not changing your elephantine
diapers on a regular basis obviously clouds your feeble mind, as well.
You really are a zipper head.

What would you know of zippers? A zipper capable of encasing any portion
of your disgusting bulk would be the largest or longest in the world.
With the heavy snows out East it appears you won't be able to make it
down to the shipyards for procurement of more used sailcloth for use as
a new diaper. Pity the populace living near your stench.
