THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON AIM

AIM has a history of accepting money from anyone, doesn’t matter who they are, what country it comes from, or what the ideology is.

The CPUSA, CPC, foreign oppressive governments, or even gangs involved in trafficking drugs and guns, it’s all good, it’s coin of the realm, and it all spends.

How much of this went to enhancing the lifestyles of the leadership may never be known, but it’s a save bet to say a good percentage of it did.

Now I believe it’s possible for the rich to have a genuine concern for the disenfranchised and poverty stricken or engage in philanthropy.

But I also believe there are those who do for less than purely charitable reasons – they do so with an eye to public relations and tax deductions.

Call me cynical but I honestly believe that and would say televangelists for one are a classic example.

It isn’t an anomaly for pride, arrogance, and greed to accompany the acquisition of any degree of wealth or stature, nor to devote an increased amount of time in the acquisition of more and concern about maintaining what has been acquired.

The AIM leadership always sought celebrity, it is what drove them above all else – and with that celebrity came the pursuit of the associated trappings.

The more celebrity an individual had, the higher up the ladder they were, the more bling from boasting of only flying first class to owning multiple residences.

A far cry from the reality of the poverty and need they pimped for personal gain.

I’ve never had any respect for the AIM leadership, and if it’s possible I have even less now – if the surviving members could miraculously do a one eighty it would be too little too late, the die was cast and the damage done long ago and then perpetuated.

Marching around waving banners for a thug convicted of murder doesn’t impress me, nor does murdering a diminutive woman by the name of Annie Mae Pictou Aquash or a civil rights worker by the name of Perry Ray Robinson jr.

I’m not impressed by the unmarked graves of AIM’s numerous victims or the sacking and looting that was Wounded Knee 2 regardless of how it is portrayed and not a stretch to liken it to the descent of Quantrill’s raiders upon Lawrence, Kansas though fortunately the body count wasn’t as high.

For all the for profit ruminations of tradition and ceremony the leadership one and all could serve as the equivalent of that old public service announcement of “this is your brain on drugs” requiring only a minor edit to say “this is your brain on colonization”, a philosophical colonization that placed the emphasis on acquisition over that of service…… but then I suppose “this is your brain on AIM” works also.

AGED TOOTHLESS PREDATOR REDUX

 

Since the initial posting of this blog on 9-24-11 Harry David Hill has emerged from  under the rock that serves as his home, had a bit part in a movie, and joined up with ILPDC for brief period as kind of a front man.

A brief stint touted by ILPDC as Hill’s mere presence would somehow ultimately lead to a clemency for fellow thug Leonard Peltier – I guess this was to be expected in way, the movie bit part and the brief tenure at ILPDOC considering Hill’s previous acting roles as the B grade Mr.X and hope to die AIM tough guy and “liberator”.

The “wisdom” of ILPDC embracing Hill in their full knowledge X was a lie escaped me and demonstrated they didn’t give a damn about the truth and even less when it came to perpetuating a lie, but apparently the light went on and Hill like Elvis left the building, although with noticeably less panache.

Below the original blog and link to comments made which are informative.

 

Hill’s name inevitably surfaces in any discussion concerning Annie or Ray-always a shadowy figure with what appears to be an inordinate amount of luck or friends in high places.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed I think with his laughable rendition of the mysterious Mr. X- Peltier’s wannabe fabricated homeboy coming to the rescue.  But like the line from Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits:

Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene- He’s got a daytime job, he’s doing alright………

Avoiding the scene has been a vocation-one he’s been adept at, no interviews, save the comical Mr. X skit, no bragging of deeds ala Peltier, no seeking the spotlight, movie career, or even a book.  Not so much as a whimper-just another aged toothless predator 
who must now lay in wait for something to pass by.

No, the inimitable Hill prefers anonymity, and like Brando in On The Waterfront believes he could have been somebody-he could have  been a contender.

If there is any comfort to be found in the midst of this lament perhaps solace will be present in the knowledge that he is somebody-a  person of interest in ongoing and newly re-opened investigations.

Chin up “Mr. X”,  the spotlight awaits, and along with the original audience a new generation is eager to hear the taking of the Fifth- but it ain’t over til it’s over. The Fifth, that device which to me so clearly speaks to and defines a multitude of things.

No Janklow this time to grant absolution-little if any wiggle room-wiggle room that can only be purchased at the expense of another, not for anything as mundane as thirty pieces of silver, rather testimony to indict others to save ones own sorry ass in that process 
known as immunity- an immunity from prosecution that replaces the communion wafer and leaves only the admonition to go and sin no  more,  lending credibility to the concept that indeed crime does pay at times.

I understand this process of bartering information for immunity, I understand that it is often an essential ingredient, a necessary evil- but I loathe the necessity of it. I loathe the fact that all it requires to escape justice is to assist in visiting it upon another  regardless of how well deserved it might be.

A necessity created by the unwillingness of bit players, or good people stepping up to do the right thing- The right thing, once a standard,  a tradition- now a tradition lost not all that long ago and facilitated by the beast AIM became, the rogues that populated it, and individuals  like Harry David Hill, aka Mr.X. who ran in predatory packs that separated the vulnerable, taking them down while nipping at the heels  and intimidating others into silence.

Silence IS consent, or as it is said in Latin, Qui tacet consentire videtur- a legal term that translates to giving consent to this thing. This thing of murder, of abduction, of rape, of burnings and bombings, looting, and outright theft and destruction.  Of shooting an unarmed man and leaving him to die in a desperate rictus of indifference and being alone.

Silence has led to decades of grief and misery, murders, destruction and abuses on an epic scale-time to end that, time for all the people to remember who they are, where they came from, what it means, and above all to withhold consent, and in so doing resurrect honor and dignity.

How dead must a heart and spirit be to ignore, condone, or excuse such things as these? What degree of detachment, how great a fear, what code?

HIPS DON’T LIE REDUX

“Banks was recorded on a Federal wire in or around 2002 saying that he had Cris Westerman, the brother of Floyd bury him by Wounded Knee Creek after he died in the Wounded Knee Clinic. Robinson’s death is recorded in other testimony and interviews with KaMaook Nichols and Bernie Lafferty who observed conversations by Banks, Carter Camp and David Hill while Ray Robinson lay outside the building across from the clinic . According to an interview by Serle Chapman with Madonna Gilbert, (Russell&Bill Means sister), and according to Minnie Two Shoes, Gilbert slapped Annie Mae Aquash around at the WNKLDOC legal offices of Atty Bruce Ellison, wanting to know what she (Aquash) knew about Robinson’s death in WK 73. . -Nfic Paul DeMain-


 

As anyone who is even vaguely familiar with this blog knows I have stated my belief that an “accommodation” has
 been reached at some point with Bank’s and others in the AIM hierarchy that provided immunity from prosecution to them.


As the date of this recorded conversation is 2002 then such an accommodation had to have been reached at least ten years ago.


But I suspect it predates the year 2002 by an appreciable amount, and in view of the crimes they have committed it is logical to further assume that whatever information they provided must have been of  great value in order for them to escape prosecution.

Presumably this information would exist in the much sought after FOI’s -information not only the Justice Department would have but Obama as well, and why I have said earlier it’s something the Peltierites should be thinking about, unless in their arrogance and celebrity fueled concerts  they assume they know absolutely everything there is to know.


My belief is that all within the top echelon of AIM rolled over at some point or another, I’ve speculated it could be related to Peltier-that they gave him up and the cover is their support for him, as all informants have a cover story.


Could be one or more provided critical evidence against John Graham-something more than the public version Russell gave in ’99 and his B grade performance of being overwhelmed by emotion in the news to him that the call to execute Annie was received at of all places, his brother’s house. The vagaries of life huh?


If any of this is true then it speaks clearly of deals made and collusion between the authorities and AIM, something neither side would want known-also something not all on both sides of the fence would necessarily have knowledge of.


What I consider to be an anomaly is the BIA takeover-a federal building taken hostage, government property destroyed and stolen, and the response was to pay a ransom,  a pat on the head and to say run along home now?


Doesn’t even sound plausible does it? Then factor in that the AIM leadership laid up in hotel rooms partying and it makes even less sense- no one was picked off as they evacuated as was the case at WK2.


Trudell loves to go on about an “operative” within the movement that created such events-who better than an honest to goodness “warrior(s)”within the hierarchy itself-one or more of those SAC’s -Special Aimsters in Charge-who would be more perceived as being above suspicion?

Who better to point the finger at others to befuddle and deflect the heat-what greater example of their commitment, purity, and dedication to the cause than to order the executions of alleged informants?


When you look at the four plus decades of events that mark AIM’s existence there are a lot of things they could have provided information about-not only that but once having done so could go “rogue” as  they may well of felt secure in knowing that to prosecute them would  run the risk of exposing deals made.


A sense of security based on and enhanced by the years of brainwashing that everything was about COINTEL-and anything negative said about them, or attempt to hold them accountable was proof of that.


Crafty-but the problem that has arisen is that much of this other than the indictment prosecution aspect has been taken out of their hands,  it is now in the hands of people who want the truth, and whether they escape the judicial courts or not they cannot escape the court of public opinion and what is known.

By this recorded conversation Banks, by his own words is guilty of at least obstruction and aiding and abetting in his participation to any degree felony murder as well I would think.


Shakira sings a song by the name of Hips Don’t Lie, a catchy tune that seems to set women to dancing as well. We are told to believe that the eyes and words of Banks don’t lie either-I think that’s been show to be a fallacy countless times.

Interesting comments in the original blog if you follow the link.

NOT AS SWEET AS SYRUP REDUX

 

The passage of a few short years since this blog was posted hasn’t served to dampen down suspicions that the AIM leadership “snitched” as they like to say about the shooter of agents Williams and Coler, and no doubt other things as well.

Currently this belief can only be ascribed to suspicions, but if you walk around it a little examining events as they’ve played out the word strong should be add to suspicions for a number of reasons.

The heat was on and there were plenty of reasons to go after the AIM leadership – any number of reasons from wiretaps to co operating witnesses and assuredly under the federal RICO statutes routinely employed against criminal enterprises.

And yet nothing save for the low hanging and obvious fruit, and even that took years, decades. Nothing as in an “official” announcement by then soon to be outgoing USAG Holder that yes in fact AIM did kill Annie and Ray but the DOJ wasn’t really interested in “old cases”.

Vernon Bellecourt rushing to the feds with what he construed to be death threat shouldn’t surprise anyone, any more than the fact that Dave Hill was willing to make a deal and in fact got both federal and state charges dropped pertaining to an act of domestic terrorism in the bombing of Mt. Rushmore and a state weapons charge.

Are these guys just lucky or what? I think the or what is what it has really been about.

Then we also have Vernon’s younger brother Clyde getting busted as a major drug dealer, gets a light sentence and walks after a couple of years.

Clyde’s defense such as it was is that he did it for AIM – maybe that mollified the prosecutor and court ……. I mean after all it was for AIM and apparently didn’t matter how many lives were destroyed or how many addiction related crimes were committed.

It sure as hell didn’t matter to Clyde or AIM.

Now think about that for a moment – if you or I got busted for the same charge we’d have wound up busting rocks for years if not decades.

If you or I were complicit in the multiple murders AIM committed we would be pursued to the ends of the earth and it wouldn’t matter how long it took.

But not those fearless last real ndn “liberators” and “patriots.”

As crude as it may sound I had a friend who would say it isn’t know who but who you blow when an inequity defied explanation – in this instance it seems to have been who any in the leadership were willing to blow off, as in give up.

The AIM leadership has always been long on talk when it came to “colonization” and “colonial law” even while embracing every aspect of both from the drugs and alcohol, the scams and thefts, and of course “taking the fifth”.

I’ve offered the opinion on more than one occasion that I believe the strategy has been to allow the attrition of time to catch up with the leadership – that in their passing there won’t be anything left to do, no one to prosecute, case emphatically closed – looks to me like that’s the way it’s playing out.

Below the original post and link to comments:
Hell of a note for a man to have his pots stolen as has been reported on the net regarding Banks and his syrup venture. Don’t know what the world’s coming to.
I thought for sure justice would be pursued in the “traditional way”as the call was floated to do so in the case of Annie Mae-but I must have been delusional to think so.
Bank’s has offered a thousand dollar reward and demanded a full investigation-I guess maybe it can be spun as progress that an indigenous person has the where with all to be able to offer a reward in the first place, but since a similar offer has never been made regarding information concerning the murder of the woman he loved so much, Annie Mae, it doesn’t strike me as being sweet. A couple of pots are replaceable-the same can’t be said for Annie.

A COMPASS OF SORTS

I’ve had this pdf in the “archives” for some time and have used it as something of a compass related to directions to look – I’ve done the same with a variety of documents and articles from those issued by AIM to Alan Stang.

My approach is to search and verify -to weed out the bs and lies – much of what is contained within this pdf is well known and verified over the years, well worth the read, and if the reader takes issue with any part then do as I have done and make the effort to prove or discredit- accept what you can verify and put the rest to the side.

I haven’t much familiarity with the site Federal Expressions other than to verify it exists and do a little rooting around related to it, been a while since I’ve checked it out but I understand the author has since passed on.

As can be seen the leadership always went first class leaving others to sleep on floors in flop houses while they opted for the Holiday Inn or multiple level houses – something that has been well established even to the point of Russell Means stating he only flew first class – the bump in price from economy to first class would have fed a family of “his people” for a month.  provided some much needed propane during the winter, put shoes on a child’s feet or a jacket on their back in the winter.

Judge Nichols is often cited by AIM/Peltier defenders – apparently after wining and dining AIM in their home and his wife being issued an official AIM membership card she did as she promised and kept her husband, Judge Nichols, “in line”. Something else that has been established.

Doug Durham was a government informant and a sleeze – also established, but then he fit in quite well with the likes of Bank$, Means, Crow Dog, and the Bellecourts, he was a natural..

GENENTICALLY MODIFIED TRUTH REDUX

From 3-31-13
https://rezinate.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/genetically-modified-truth/

There’s a sort of trend on television now about reconstruction,a personal reconstruction where participants lose weight ( a good thing), remodel their homes, or undergo what is referred to as a makeover that involves hair styling, cosmetics, and the manner in which they dress.

No harm in any of this-especially if it leads to being healthier or a better self image-but I sometimes wonder if people really believe it’s all external, change what is visible and that’s good enough.

Television and movies are fixated on what works at the moment-a successful series will immediately spawn clones. A successful movie will become what is referred to as a franchise and sequels are the norm.

This is pretty much a fact of life-the mechanics of greed.

Ever notice how if a gas station appears on a corner it isn’t long before a rival appears on the opposite corner, or how the same holds true of fast food vendors?

I’ve often wondered what that’s about, but guess there’s a formula that works or they wouldn’t do it. Maybe it’s to create the illusion of choice-the reality is though whichever is selected isn’t really a healthy choice, and a part of the promotion is “convenience”-that’s why it’s referred to as fast.

But life isn’t about clones or sequels, it is the ultimate reality show . A show populated with heroes and villains, ne’er do wells, and good people striving to do their best.

AIM and the Peltierites have the longest running makeover show, despite the fact it’s never been nominated for an Emmy or Oscar. It’s been on the air for over four decades-kind of a wedding of various formats including soap operas. And like other programs have those who ritually tune in and won’t miss an episode.

They seemingly don’t care if the main characters emote like some pay per view wrestler or cultivate a certain persona, they actually believe it’s real-nothing scripted, and will carry the placards or adorn themselves with paraphenalia they can purchase that illustrates the depth of their commitment-they believe.

They want to believe. Maybe on some level even need to believe.

The AIM/Peltier vendors offer fast one stop shopping, and you can have it your way-it’s all prepackaged and doesn’t require any real effort-you just drive through, purchase what they’re selling, and you’re on your way.

None of that drudgery associated with actually doing any of the work yourself-they’ve done it all for you and you can take their word that it’s healthy and nutritious-that what they advertise as ingredients is the real deal.

Problem is what they offer is a GMT-a genetically modified truth, not even a GMO, which is a genetically modified organism.

Organism being the key word-as it speaks to something alive-and what AIM and Peltier offer was stillborn from the beginning and should be contested in the courts as adamantly as GMO’s are.

MacAim, MacLPDOC, MacPeltier – nothing digestible, kind of has a ring to it doesn’t it?

The next time they don their clown costumes and cosmetics as any drive by maybe they ought to toot the horn, but instead of waving it might be better, more to the point, to give them the finger.

Why not? They’ve been doing the same to everyone else for decades.

Every time I pass a McDonalds I think of Mary’s comment in the original post of a McCrapwich and can’t help but smile.

SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT IN TOON TOWN

I’ve been thinking about the previous blog Hosapa Redux, in particular Carter Camp and his eternally conflicting recounting of AIM murder victim Perry Ray Robinson jr.

Camp never seemed to be able to keep his story straight, which actually makes him unrecognizable from Banks, Means, and the Bellecourts save for physical appearance.

With Camp’s and AIM’s ingrained penchant  for prevaricating the only storyline that hasn’t emerged is that Robinson shot himself, dug his own grave before bleeding to death, and in anticipation of his death pre emptively laid down in it to await the end.

Hey, why not? They’ve had Ray walking out of WK2 eating a candy bar to just disappearing as though abducted by aliens or part of a strategy to abandon his wife and children to decades of unrequited closure, to never having been seen…..by anyone.

At the CST conference a couple or so years ago poster boy for being a pompous ass Russell Means went so far as to portray the search for justice related to Ray as being some sort of conspiracy cobbled together by AIM haters to make it appear as though AIM had engaged in what he referred to as “illegality”.

“Illegality”? Duh………..

Poor delusional Russell, a man who spent his life defecating through his mouth rather than in the usual manner actually expecting people to believe him

Even the most ardent of AIM supporters surely must be aware of the Camp chronicles, the state of flux they existed in, frenetic and disjointed, yet it doesn’t seem to bother them never having heard an AIM lie they wouldn’t sell out to.

AIM lies from “chief of chiefs”, “spiritual adviser”, to bloated “political prisoners” who could body double for the character Fat Bastard in one of the Austin Powers movies.

From Walking Eagle to Man Whose Horse is Afraid the load is too heavy.

It’s not only bizarre and otherworldly, it’s unbelievably transparent theater – theater performed for a paying audience. An audience that is going to pay one way or another in some form.

The price of admission? Donations, scams, outright theft, misery, murder, mayhem, and the marketing of anything thought to turn a buck.

I keep asking for someone, anyone, to step up and tell me things such as these are “In the spirit of Crazy Horse”.

Hasn’t happened so far, and should be a clue for groupies if they feel they are unable to do so that something isn’t right in Toon Town.

Harsh words, harsh assessment? I suppose that depends on a person’s viewpoint, but nowhere near as harsh as the reality.

Not as harsh as the murder of Ray, the murder of Annie Mae Pictou Aquash, those who lay in unmarked graves, or that of federal agents who hadn’t a clue Peltier was even around or looking for him.

Not as harsh as the rapes and crimes AIM has committed, the hostage taking at WK2, the burning and sacking of the community……In the Spirit of Crazy Horse? not even when pigs fly.

OMISSIONS – THE AIM/PELTIERITE BREAD AND BUTTER REDUX

OMISSIONS- THE AIM/PELTIERITE BREAD AND BUTTER
Posted by rezinate on September 18, 2013
https://rezinate.wordpress.com/2013/09/18/omissions-the-aimpeltierite-bread-and-butter/#comment-8348

The below in quotation marks an attempt by Mark Holtzman/Silent Bear to misrepresent a comment made by Paul DeMain.

“I forgot to tell you, I generally migrate towards the opinion now days that when Peltier said “I did not shoot those agents,” I believe him. Paul De Shame”

Anyone who even casually visits this blog has come to realize the above is a favored excerpt of Mark Shameman/Silent Bear- the majority I believe are familiar with the entirety of the statement this was taken from as it has been posted all over the net

MH/SB knows perfectly well in the rest of the statement this is excerpted this from DeMain specifies that Peltier may have been telling the truth when he says he did not shoot the Agents, as in plural -Demain goes on to say it may have been Peltier shot one and handed off the gun to Robideau to shoot the other and therefore could say he hadn’t shot them as in plural.

NOWHERE though does DeMain say Peltier is innocent, he in fact specifically states he believes Peltier is exactly where he belongs….as do I.

MH/SB has clearly evidenced he doesn’t care about the truth, that it is singularly about getting Peltier a pass -that’s obvious to anyone who has followed his career as wannabe truth and justice seeker.

Above you’ve noticed DeMain’s position-I wouldn’t characterize it as one that believes Peltier is either innocent or been wronged-lacking a way to spin that MH/SB will go into attack mode as the rest of us laugh at his efforts and wonder about a ceremony attending “firekeeper” who cares so little about the truth.

GET MAD, SAY STUPID STUFF, CONFRONT US…………and while you’re at it SB and Peltierites try confronting and accepting the truth.

A shout out to nativeamericannewstome from which I copy pasted the DeMain quote.

OF MICE AND MEN REDUX

I like to think when a person gives their word, swears a oath, they understand and accept the implications, the responsibility to adhere to it.
I’m not naive enough though to not realize that isn’t always the case – just saying it would be nice if everyone did…..the world would sure be a different place.
Sometimes it may be impossible to keep your word, or a bad move to give it the first place, sometimes who you gave it to could seen as a qualifier.

OF MICE AND MEN
Posted by rezinate on April 13, 2013

https://rezinate.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/of-mice-and-men/

I kind of have this idea that young law school graduates think they’re going to change the world, right the wrongs, and fight the good fight against injustice.

Maybe that was the way of it for Bruce Ellison, maybe he thought of himself as a champion riding into battle on a white horse with the sword of justice in one hand and clad in the armor of truth.

But somewhere along the line he took a detour, chose the wrong path, and probably got in over his head – whatever promise his career may have held evaporated as he became a front man for AIM, and ultimately a participant and accomplice in the crimes they committed.

In for a penny in for a pound-to deep to get out, and perhaps fearful to cut the ties that bind. After all others had disappeared and that wasn’t a list he wanted  to be on.

A list that included Annie Mae Pictou Aquash- an AIM victim he was all to familiar with – and despite his representation of Peltier and the degree of security the AIM leadership could take in the client/ attorney confidentiality privilege the same couldn’t be said when it came to Annie.

Ellison crossed that line the moment he had knowledge of the plan to abduct Annie, return her to Pine Ridge, interrogate her, and possibly murder her.

His participation in her being held against her will and interrogated by himself and others sealed the deal.

He was no longer an attorney-he was an aider and abettor as well as a co- conspirator. He had become a common criminal, a thug, an abuser of women, and a underling of the AIM leadership.

The fifth amendment, denials, and yt videos can’t alter the reality.

In for a penny in for pound-and Ellison becomes an attorney for Peltier, a liaison for AIM, the eyes and ears to advise, coach, and to report back.

Peltier is deep in it-the murder of two federal agents-things don’t look good   Annie’s out of the picture and the fear she knew a little too much and could present a danger had been mollified by her murder.

But a lot of loose ends-minutia, minor details that might have been forgotten and come back to haunt.

Who knows, as much heat as was being generated somebody might roll over, and what exactly was going to be the official party position? Was everyone familiar with it and willing to abide?

Lot of questions for Peltier – trust might have wavered when he recalled the personalities, the egos, and the focus on self preservation the leadership was   noted for.

Vernon was raising hell and calling everyone a psychopath-would he consider his own skin and that of brother Clydes more important than that of a dimwitted murderer, or Means and Banks?

Maybe the finger would be pointed at him, Peltier – maybe he would be seen as a threat and Banks would make him disappear. A game of spin the bottle and the one it settles upon gets the kiss of death.

Maybe the thing was to escape, and maybe AIM in having their own doubts about him would assist.

But the name of the game for the leadership was to keep a safe distance, keep a low profile when suspicion was in the air-kind of like they did when Annie was being buried in a makeshift quasi-traditional ceremony at PR.

PR, where an eye could be kept on her remains, her restless spirit, and the false prophet of “Paradise” Leonard Crow Dog could do his act, work his wannabe mojo, and hopefully chain her there forever.

But there’s no honor among thieves, and the leadership were thieves to the core.

Thieves who stole tradition and substituted it with drugs, alcohol, rape, and murder.

Thieves who took the accrued suffering and misery of generations and turned it to personal profit.

Thieves who took the dreams and hopes of a people and turned them into ashes.

So whose to trust?

In for a penny in for pound-Ellison the fallen attorney, a disgrace to himself and his profession-weak kneed, insipid, eager to please, and obedient, just the man.

He had access, and certainly motive-he had that attorney client relationship, even a briefcase filled with self important papers, the obligatory pens, and some room left over for saw blades.

But as the poet Robert Burns wrote “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry”, as did the great escape plan, and the rest is history.

A convicted murderer counts the days and the hours in prison while a fallen attorney goes to seed and takes the fifth-perhaps a form of justice in it’s own right.

A lot of wrongs to right, a lot of injustice to fight, just as on the day Bruce Ellison took his oath to uphold the law and be faithful to the letter of it – but it takes integrity to do these things – it takes a man.

AIM – NDN COUNTRIES ISIS

Following her abducted arrival and subsequent interrogation at the wkldc office in Pine Ridge at an undetermined time a “vote” was taken whether to do the ISIS thing  or let Annie go.

As all decisions in AIM were made at the top that significantly narrows the field of complicity, but we ought to take a look at that and in doing so it will help to expose not only the lies but the truth.

Russell Means stated that inspite of the fact he was the AIM kingpin of PR he knew nothing about the decision to murder Annie or who made it until 1999, so for the moment we’ll remove Means from the equation and move on to Dennis Banks.

Banks alibi has been that he too was totally unaware and like” Running Bear  loved Little White Dove (Annie) With a love big as the sky – Running Bear loved Little White Dove With a love that couldn’t die”,  like the character in the Johnny Preston song, so we’ll remove Banks from the equation.

If anyone is keeping track the two main players of AIM have temporarily been culled from the herd, so who does that leave?

Vernon Bellecourt, that Russell in his frenzy to remove brother Bill and various members from the spotlight pointed to.

Vernon Bellecourt who had little use for Peltier, one might even go so far as to say he despised him and probably would have rejoiced at the thought of Peltier being taken down if it endangered no others – but Vernon was also a team player like his fellow culls and so like them only warrants a temporary pass.

Clyde Bellecourt was pretty much a Humpty Dumpty who relied heavily on his older brother Vernon for advice and to put the eggs he broke back together, doubtful Clyde would have had the temerity to go it alone when such a decision was made.

Left waiting in the wings, or should I say by the unmarked graves he stands vigil over is the resident quack, grave keeper, slash “medicine man” Leonard Crow Dog, who in the ongoing effort to maintain the appearance of “spirituality” where none exists would hardly have taken it upon himself to author and execute such a plan, though his dislike of Annie was well known.

So who does that leave as the “electorate”?

The pie patrol, a group of fawning do as they were told women? Skenadore or Hill? Is it possible they could have formed some secret cabal among themselves? Hardly.

Not a lot of options remain unless a person wants to go with the rogue element theory or death by climate as been bizarrely presented.

What stands out is obvious – the plan to abduct, interrogate, and murder Annie was a “command” decision made by those at the top, those temporarily culled for the sake of discussion – there is no other reality.

Others close to the top may well have had voting “privileges”, but it was the gang of five who held the power of approval or veto and no vote would have taken place without their participation and approval.

Leonard Peltier’s opinion must surely have been an influence, after all it was his ass on the line and by association the leaderships as well.

AIM, home grown terrorists – ndn countries version of ISIS conducting their own jihad committing atrocities and leaving bodies in their wake.

AIM, ndn countries version of the kkk who will murder a black man for “disobedience”.

AIM, ndn countries version of Nazis who covet and desire to corrupt the heart, mind, and soul of the nations youth.
