Elouise Cobell Speaks

ong>

While I respect Ms. Cobell, how does $1,000 per person help lift an entire people out of poverty? If you are owed $137 billion, why not get it all?

I understand that 13 years is a long time to keep a lawsuit going, but, they were stealing land for 500 years!

Indians are easily screwed because their numbers are few. How do you thin they got to be so few? By systemic genocide, theft of land, and deprivation of culture. The same thing that is happening to Africans in the country today.

How much will we accept for reparations for 400 years of slavery, genocide, and dis-enfranchisement? Hopefully a lot more than a few billion dollars.

Russel Means Speaks Out On Cobell Settlement

Real Freedom Fighter Russel Means is right on target about the paltry settlement offer of 1.6 Billion to settle Indian lawsuits regarding government mismanagement and outright theft of Indian funds.

The banks, AIG, and Goldman Sachs received over a trillion dollars in bailout money while stealing from the American taxpayer. The government steals over three quarters of a trillion dollars from Native people and offers to settle for a small fraction.

Greed and theft have always been rewarded in this country when perpetrated by the White man on a grand scale. Since the first white man set foot in the Western Hemisphere, theft, murder, enslavement, and greed have been the order of the day. Greed and theft are called capitalism. Anyone who speaks out against this heinous form of institutionalized greed is called names like communist, socialist, or anarchist. Never Freedom Fighter.

Thank you Russel for keeping it real.
