TOBY "RED NECK" BARRETT SUES FOR "PEACE"
MNN. Feb. 19, 2008. Stirring up confusion and
misinformation on the Six Nations land reclamation
issue is an established colonial strategy. On
February 11, 2008, Toby "Custer Wannabe" Barrett
of the Ontario Legislature for Haldimand & Norfolk,
tried to rally up his troops by issuing his own private
and personal "proclamation" at a meeting held in the
colonial "hick town" of Caledonia. Are he and the
mayor, Marie "Potty" Trainor, still screaming for the
army to come in and declare war? Hey, it didn't work
in Kanehsatake/Oka in 1990 and it won't work here!
It's now two years since we took back our land of
Kanonhstaton. Despite all kinds of lies and dirty tricks,
we've kept it. We are continuing to assert our
stewardship and responsibility as trustees over all
Haudenosaunee land. This encompasses the St.
Lawrence, Great Lakes watershed right down to New
York State, Vermont and beyond.
One thing has become painfully clear. Despite all the
talk and hot air and supposed good will, the colonial
cultures do not understand the principles of our law.
Ottawa and Ontario are all looking for misguided chiefs
and spokespeople willing to play "let's make a deal".
Unfortunately they have found a few. We know who
they are. This is an internal concern. We will deal with
it. As for the foreign governments, who would have
thought they would resurrect failed 18th Century tactics
like this? Australia used these tactics and just apologized.
Grow up colonial Canada and Ontario.
The politicians and functionaries that Canada and Ontario
have sent us just don't get it. They're still in the mindset
of appropriators and exploiters. Like their ancestors, they
don't' think about maintaining the land and environment
for future generations of our people or of their own.
On top of this, they do not understand the first thing
about our political organization, despite centuries of
squatting on our land. They haven't even gotten it
through their thick skulls that the power is in the people
in an egalitarian society where everyone has a voice.
Connie Kid of "Canadians for Aboriginal Rights" had
a great answer for Toby "Gary-McHale-Hand-Maiden"
Barrett, when he tried to instigate more trouble.
The guy must have incipient Alzheimers. He suggested
that the way "to bring about peace, order and good
government" was to falsely accuse us of committing
"arson, extortion, barricades, land seizures, occupations,
militant protests, and related harassment, intimidation,
mob violence and threats to public safety". What he
"forgot" is that most of these acts were done by his
non-native constituents - not by us and not by our
friends and supporters.
Toby "Ratcheting-up-the-Rhetoric" Barrett went on to
state that "the non-native community safety, social
and economic life has declined because of the climate
of fear, chaos and uncertainty generated by various
acts of lawlessness and related intimidation". Once
again, he forgot to mention that this was all generated
by his people who are refusing to fulfill their obligations
and by himself as a piece of grease in the cog in the
wheel that is promoting conflict.
We share his concern about the kinds of social
disorder he decries. The problem is none of this
would have happened if the colonial governments
had respected their obligations and stopped
squatters from squatting onto Mohawk land.
Toby "Who's-always-tripping-over-his-own-tongue"
Barrett's allegations apply to real concerns that we
all share. The professional instigators who were
covertly hired to infiltrate the members of the colonial
society who are conventionally treated like rabble are
the source of the problem. We find it bizarre that the
tax money paid by honest citizens is being used to
incite the ill-informed to attack us. Why were
skinheads recruited? Why was the KKK allowed to
use the post office to spread racist hate propaganda
against us?
It is truly unfortunate that the colonial administrations
of Ontario and Canada seem to have fallen under the
control of such disreputable interests when most of the
citizens are honest supporters of the protection of our
rights.
Toby "Dr. Evil" demanded that, "all land dispute
"negotiations" and related actions cease until extortion,
illegal occupations and protests are terminated". We
couldn't agree more! Colonial agencies and their cohorts
MUST stop their thieving, extortion and violence against
us.
Toby wants "individuals, businesses and the
municipality to be compensated for loss, insecurity,
economic decline and any other collateral damage"
they've suffered. Right on! We've been asking for
compensation since Ontario was "Upper Canada".
It's high time they returned all our land and paid us
for our losses. When are they going to get off our
land, give us our trust monies with interest and
recognize that their attempt to depose our true
government in 1924 was completely illegal?
Connie Kidd of "Canadians for Aboriginal Rights"
had a quick response for Toby "Two-Faces-on-the
Law" Barrett on February 12, 2008. She told him,
"There is absolutely nothing you can do, except get
used to living lawfully and return stolen land to the
rightful owners". She said, "IT'S CANADA, ONTARIO
AND THE MUNICIPALITIES THAT ARE IN VIOLATION
OF CANADA'S LAWS, NOT SIX NATIONS".
"Canada must consult with Six Nations prior to
approving ANY development". She also pointed out
that, "Canada's past involves squatting on Indigenous
land and calling it our own. But it isn't legal!" The
developers have learned that land transfers from Six
Nations to the Crown were never 'registered' in the
Ontario Land Registry. The land was placed in their
trust, but never paid for. All the sales and leases
throughout Ontario and Canada, for that matter, are
invalid. Canada always knew about this land theft
and fraud.
Connie thinks that if Canada doesn't negotiate in
good faith with us NOW, we should assert our land
rights all across Canada which we can and will
lawfully do. She agrees that "Canada has no land
mass of its own. It's all . Indigenous lands". Canada
will cease to be a country [if it ever was one]. Canada
is a conglomeration of displaced persons with no land
to call their own. Those who refuse to live by our law
should go back to their homelands. [Connie, you are
welcome to stay!] They need to admit this fact and stop
trying to orchestrate our extermination. They refuse to
notice that genocide is out of fashion.
As Connie pointed out, Canada "miscalculated the
resilience" of the Indigenous people who managed to
survive the genocidal age. She suggests, "Humble,
respectful good faith" as the basis of our relations with
our visitors is the only solution. If Canada ever stops
pretending that it 'owns' Indigenous peoples, lands,
water and air, it will be possible to work something out.
There has to be truth before there can be reconciliation.
Canada has to admit that it 'owns' nothing according to
Indigenous, Canadian or International Law.
Connie condemns Canada's "genocide-for-land policies".
She contends Canada doesn't have any negotiating room
as things stand. We can only wonder when they're going
to stop flogging the dead colonial horse. The Governor
General has to stop hiding behind the screen and deal
with us, or go back where she came from. [Connie Kidd,
Canadians for Aboriginal Rights
