INFORMANTS A AND B

Informants A and B-anyone who has followed along about the murder of Annie and AIM’s responsibility has no doubt been bludgeoned with  tales of A and B by AIM and the Peltierites -that the standard was for the feds to insert couples as spies. It has become a favored part of their mea culpa.

Now the focus is directed to Theda Nelson Clark-so I assume she is being presented as one half of the dynamic duo-if so who fills the other position?

The defenders will immediately say it was Doug Durham-but I don’t buy that for a number of reasons-and that leads me squarely back to my long standing contention that one or more within the AIM hierarchy were and are a snitch.

AIM has insisted for years that they were infiltrated with a veritable legion of snitches/operatives and made every attempt to employ it as a justification for their criminal activities-yet as can be seen in the previous FOI blogs Peltier denies this and opts to say it isn’t true.

There are a few candidates that can be presented as Theda’s counterpart if one is to accept that she was an operative-or at least rolled over at some point-one of these would be Frank DeLuca/Blackhorse.

But the real genius in having an insider is to have one at the very top, someone in that exclusive inner circle where the decisions are made. I don’t think grunts like DeLuca or even Peltier qualify on that basis.

Now admittedly none of the AIM leadership can be likened to Einstein and have no doubt on more than one occasion gone the loose lips sink ships route, having the egos they have shown I doubt they were averse to bragging when they should have kept their mouth shut-kind of like Peltier with his boast of having shot the mfer, though despite every effort by LPDOC to portray him as being a leader he was not- I don’t believe anyone in a leadership position would be given the nickname dumb as dirt.

Such a penchant could well have led to the “house servants” hearing things and passing them on-and would be a classic example of the ineptitude of leadership.

So we are left with a scenario depending on which version a person accepts, that either AIM was overrun with informants or they were not. If a person goes along with they existed as a bumper crop then it has to be assumed that there were more than one set of A and B if that was standard operating procedure.

If Theda and Durham, or Theda and DeLuca, were one pair how many others were there and who were they?

Everyone is pretty much onto Dave Hill now-so  is it a possibility he and one time squeeze Thelma Rios also composed an A and B?  Dave “the mad bomber” Hill certainly would have had some trade worthy information to market-and in fact did, though to what extent isn’t fully known.

AIM and LPDOC would have people believe that only those on the short list they grind out of the pulp fiction mill are viable, but I think everyone would be well advised to expand the list and consider other options. One could even speculate sons of politicians or politicians themselves have served as informants.

Not difficult to look at the players, determine what they have been able to get away with, and then ask the follow up questions of  why and how?

I don’t have a single issue with pointing a finger at Theda or DeLuca as being far from above suspicion, but others like myself were born with ten fingers, and there are a lot of options and reasons to point them at others.

My personal preference when it comes to the AIM leadership is to employ the middle finger on both hands to do so.

THEY HAVE ALIBIS

I was just reading Denise’s reply to a question posed concerning the perceived inaction on the part of the feds to discredit and  “bring down” AIM related to the murder of Annie Mae.

While I agree with the majority of Denise’s response as related to the difficulty by authorities in getting people to step forward in the 70’s  and readily acknowledge her superior access to all things related, that was then and this is now.

THEN and NOW- a huge difference in what is known and what has transpired in the ensuing decades, and  despite the fact that the same difficulties remain my contention is that if enough testimony and evidence exists to secure the convictions that have occurred enough exists to pursue others.

What we routinely hear are rumors of pending indictments while time as a finite commodity marches inexorably on-these rumors have been floated for years, and yet none of the American Indian Mafia  godfathers have been charged.

The lack of which understandably raises suspicions-suspicions I have no difficulty in admitting to.

A suspicion I have, and one that seems to be shared by others, is that the rumors are just that, rumors, meant to placate and keep dangling the carrot as the element of time is measured and squandered.

I suspect the “solution” to be that if enough time is spent circulating rumors and assurances the attrition of time will insure that in the passing of these individuals the public display of a trial will become unnecessary.

If that is the case questions will naturally arise about motivation-and they should.

The obvious one, though it must be classified as speculation at this point, is that within the AIM hierarchy there exists a protected informant, possibly more than one-and I don’t mean the usual suspects such as Harry David Hill who was outed long ago.

Such an existence would explain a lot of things, but could also air a lot of dirty laundry on both sides of the fence if exposed.

Before going any further I want to clarify that-I don’t now, nor have I ever believed the feds had anything to do with the murder of Annie Mae-that is singularly AIM bs -but if one examines the entirety of multiple events in the ’70s such as the murder of Williams and Coler other influences come into play.

The feds were on a mission to capture and prosecute any associated with their murder,and the heat was already on resulting from WK2, a given, and I in no way fault them for their fervor regarding Williams and Coler.

In the midst of this there would have been huge pressure on AIM, and more pointedly on it’s so called leadership. The greatest threat they apparently have had to face.

I don’t think it to be a stretch of the imagination to speculate that in feeling the heat one or more of these leaders would have become an informant in an effort to save themselves and their cash cow that AIM had become.

What would have been their bargaining chip? Perhaps rolling over on Peltier -not in the nature of public testimony but providing information as to his location, his movements, and his involvement.

Such an informant(s) would have had far a greater value in anonymity that in exposing to the glare of the media spotlight……and still would.

In the aftermath we’ve seen these leaders go and come at will, do and say pretty much as they damn well please, while continuing to enrich themselves.

We’ve got Russell attempting to sell a story that he was completely in the dark about Annie until ’99 when he overheard women talking about it-’99- which coincidently is when Branscombe entered the picture-Banks saying that he had the greatest of affection for Annie and basically has been deaf, dumb, and blind, regarding anything related to her murder.

I could be wrong in my suspicions and invite any with a conflicting opinion or opposing viewpoint to present it.

According to the pie patrol Blackhorse is the current villain of choice-the present “dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard” (gave up Peltier), and he could have a level of involvement-but I see it mostly as another desperate attempt by them in a bag of dwindling tricks to  exonerate Peltier.

Maybe what the pie patrol should be doing is asking themselves about the questions I have raised-asking how it is so few are routinely able to remain unscathed in the midst of what is known now?

But to do so would mean they would have to at least temporarily forgo braiding the hair, baking the pies, and risk having to admit maybe they personally aren’t the repository of “investigative” insight they would have others to believe-that perhaps they have been manipulated as a shill to bleat the party line-and in doing so have delayed and obstructed the very justice they claim to seek.

What always confuses me a little is the illogic that if players like Blackhorse or any other were “snitches” how in the hell does that alter the fact of who pulled the trigger?  Quite simply, It doesn’t.

It is the identical shape shifting that attempts to mitigate the murder of Annie Mae in saying poor AIM was so paranoid their degree of guilt must be moderated and not singularly theirs.

So we are left with meaningless statements that although Frank DeLuca/Black Horse cannot be placed at the Jumping Bull compound by so much as a single account, a single INDIGENOUS witness, we shouldn’t make too much of that, we should allow the possibility.

Kind of a backhanded sleight that maybe indigenous people aren’t too aware of their surroundings-are prone to walk around in a daze and that should be taken into account. Or
maybe those in the area are feds themselves participating in the coverup.

I say if “allowing possibilities” is to be the way of it then the possibility that Peltier is the shooter must be equally allowed by them-and it doesn’t stop there.

They must then allow the “possibility” that Means, Banks, the Bellecourts, and even Mickey and Donald were there as well- that Graham is the shooter of Annie.

Hopefully in mentioning Mickey and Donald the pie patrol and Peltierites won’t seize upon them as suspects now-they have an air tight alibi… they were at Disney Land and seen by thousands-even countless photos and 8mm film attesting to that.

NOTHIN’ SAYS LOVIN’

What is increasingly becoming the approach now is mitigating pEEltier’s guilt in the deaths of Coler and Williams, and by extension AIM’s for their long and sordid history of misdeeds-it’s all about agent provocateurs who arm twisted the intellectually subpar into doing their bidding-but for that we’d all be sitting around the campfire singing kumbaya.

It’s a start I suppose in that there is at least an implication that “maybe”, just “maybe”, there is a hint of associated guilt-though that will remain being emphatically denied.

It’s kind of like Russell’s flea market vending of matriarchy-it is what works at the moment-something to squeeze every last penny and scrap of attention from before it falters and requires a new commercial product to offer.

Both in a sense are the equivalent of an internet lap dance -a distraction, a performance, whose intent is to beguile and separate fools from their money.

It is the identical business model oil companies use in exploiting and promoting the use of fossil fuels-they won’t quit until the supply is  exhausted-and the resulting environmental damage is of no concern for them as long as revenue is produced.

Frank DeLuca aka Frank Blackhorse is the latest example from the peeltier camp-freshly baked and promoted by the ever reliable pie patrol-and remember “nothin’ says lovin’ like somethin’ from the oven”.

So put on a happy face, help yourself to a piece, sit by the AIM/peeltier campfire, and join in the songfest…..don’t forget to make that love offering donation as well.

AN IDEA WHOSE TIME IS COME

Below is a copy/paste skabewis made in the blog Never Again and beneath it my response. Regrettably sometimes rewards are necessary rather than specifically relying on good will or a shared desire to see justice done.

Ultimately the value lays in the results produced, and this is an excellent example of a situation where just such an offer would be of benefit. There is a familiar saying about putting ones money where their mouth is-I know many struggle with finances and the current economic situation, but if enough of us could forgo some favored little treat in lieu of donating to this effort the possibility for something good to happen is very real.

I’ve felt for a long time that rewards in a variety of related matters could be a step towards the much sought after closure that is needed. Now we may have that opportunity-and it is an opportunity that should be given careful consideration.

Not looking to put anyone on the spot, only to ask that others think about this, and if in agreement to do what they can:

The people who witnessed pieces of both the Ray Robinson and Annie Mae cases, and perhaps the other 6 Wounded Knee victims that Leonard Crow Dog conducted a spiritual calming, or cover-up ceremony depending on how you look at it, are out there — but like Indian Country, are scattered across the country. Cheryl Buswell Robinson is talking about a potential reward for information, but her family is not well off, and mainly just wanting to find Robinson’s remains to bring them back out of Wounded Knee so that the Martin Luther King followers he worked with, the NAACP and other relatives don’t have to interfere with the Mass Grave victims in order to commemorate his activities. No questions asked if it is helpful to their family quest. I have talked to her in the last few weeks about this — as she has never been convinced that either the feds will follow thru with an aggressive investigation for a Black man buried in Wounded Knee, nor that any leadership members in AIM involved, like Dennis Banks, Stan Holder, Carter Camp, Clyde Bellecourt, Leonard Crow Dog, Madonna Gilbert-Thunder Hawk, Russell or Ted Means, Frank Blackhorse, Lorelie DeCora Means, Robert Anderson or others at the Security level either had the courage or integrity to step up and help bring his remains back. Even a spokeperson for Leonard Peltier, and who is close to Leonard Crow Dog claimed recently his death was a accident from what he knew about it — well then, why all the cover-up efforts and silence over an accident?????
If anyone would like to contact her, I can forward that information from skabewis@hotmail.com or watch for further developments.

Thanks for the info and the email/link-I don’t know if there is any measure of what
is referred to as political correctness in all of this issue but I’m of the opinion that
since Annie’s family and Ray’s share a common misery along with others it might
serve a good purpose in view of Russell’s paypal links to solicit funds for his
treatments if maybe such a link could be set up on the Annie page by Cheryl to
secure donations for this mentioned reward-possibly even NFIC.

Either would address an established audience and add an air of  credibility. I  would surely donate to it and others I have spoken to in this brief interlude between your response and now mine have said they would as well.
Just a thought.
