#Epstein Survivor Describes #SexTrafficking by #Tucson #BorderPatrol -- While Agents Seize #TohonoOodham Land for #BorderWall Construction

An Epstein survivor describes the child sex trafficking of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in Tucson, where she was a victim. At the same time, Tucson Border Patrol agents, heavily armed, are preventing Tohono O'odham tribal police from entering their own land to issue citations to border wall contractors. Meanwhile, the media has ignored a cartel witness from Sinaloa, Mexico, who described the trafficking of young girls in the Epstein files.

BREAKING!🚨 #USGovernment is Preventing #TohonoOodhamNation Police From Entering Their #SovereignLand [and preventing DESTRUCTION ]

#BrendaNorrell , #CensoredNews
September 2, 2026

SELLS, Tohono O'odham Nation -- "The U.S. #BorderPatrol is preventing Tohono O'odham Nation's tribal police from entering their own land to issue citations to border wall construction crews.

"The crews are violating the 'No Trespass' order to build the #BorderWall . Drilling is underway,

"The media is incorrectly reporting that a federal judge ruled that the border wall is being built on federal land. Federal Judge Richard Leon actually said that this is 'likely' federal land.

"The US government claims it is part of the ' #RooseveltReservation,' a 60-foot-wide stretch along the border created by presidential proclamation in 1907.

"This matter remains before the federal court.

"The Tohono O'odham Nation said it has been #Oodham land since time immemorial and is now officially the #TohonoOodham Nation's land."

#StandingRock Camp Battles Cyber Blockers, Improves Service

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
Sat., Dec. 10, 2016

UPDATES -- "Composting toilets save the day. Crews finished installing composting toilets, even some in heated tents, after the port-a-potties were yanked from Oceti Sakowin Camp. And work has been underway to fight back at the cyber blockers. Turns out they don't like being pinged to expose who they are, including cops who use stingrays to imitate cell towers to gain access to your cellphone. On Friday, five semi truckloads of supplies arrived, purchased from Amazon -- by good hearts around the world -- in response to the Last Real Indians wish list. Donors are also helping Last Real Indians purchase pickup trucks and vehicles for camp. The Dine' Camp at Oceti Sakowin is standing strong, with a new hogan. Across the river, Rosebud Camp and Sacred Stone Camp are resilient.

Standing Strong for Standing Rock."

Honoring the #Movements and People who Inspire us. #Warriors, #Writers and #Dreamers -- A Thread Runs Through Them. #CensoredNews 20th Anniversary.

'Know who you are, and never let anyone take your power from you.'

By #BrendaNorrell, Censored News, August 30, 2026

"We're coming up on our 20th anniversary at Censored News, and we are honoring the warriors, leaders, writers and dreamers who make Censored News possible.

When the Mohawks came for the border summit in 2006 and 2007, it was, as they say in the movie Casablanca, the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Along with the Mohawks, leaders, writers and dreamers through the years became a sort of collective which makes Censored News what it is, a service to #IndigenousPeople and #HumanRights.

We lost many of our best, #Lakota Warrior Woman #DebWhitePlume, our longtime friend #KleeBenally, our French translator #ChristinePrat, and many more. But thanks to those who keep sharing their work, we keep Censored News going. This summer our page views increased by millions, thanks to their labors of love.

Today, we celebrate the movements and people who inspire us, as we celebrate our 20 Year Anniversary at Censored News."

Border Wall Construction Destroying Cottonwoods, 'Green Ribbon' Running Through the Desert

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, August 4, 2026

#LochielAZ -- "Day 6 at #GrandmotherCamp, there was no border wall construction since the tree sit began last Wednesday in this rich landscape. The cottonwood trees are the nesting place of #MigratoryBirds, including the rare #YellowBilledCuckoo.

" 'We've lost three grandmothers that took 250 years to grow. They were obliterated by the monstrous machinations in four hours,' Kate said on Monday from the tree sit in Lochiel, about 25 miles east of Nogales, southeast of Tucson.

" 'But I just saw a Yellow-billed #Cuckoo, federally threatened crying over this beautiful meadow.'

" 'This remaining Grandmother, that threatened bird -- we remain hopeful that our efforts here on the ground will be met with thoughtful reasonable conversation and a new direction for Lochiel community,' Kate said.

" 'This remaining Grandmother represents hope and resistance.' "

#Indigenous at the #UnitedNations Expose #AIDatacenters and Racially-Biased #Misinformation

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, July 14, 2026

GENEVA -- "The mediocre, middle-of-the-road approach to #AI at the United Nations was countered by testimony today from #IndigenousPeoples pointing out that #ArtificialIntelligence is not a solution, and is doing great harm to Indigenous with derogatory misinformation and massive #datacenters that are poisoning the #land, #water and #air.

"#JaimieWilliams, #MiamiNation in #Indiana, speaking on behalf of the Society of Native Nations, at the U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, responded to the A.I. summary presented this morning. Williams said the summary does not reflect the true impact of artificial intelligence, particularly in the way the technology is powered.

" 'AI data centers are rapidly being constructed on the land of Indigenous Peoples without free, prior and #InformedConsent from us.'

" 'My people came out of the water, the #SaintJosephRiver in the southeast of #LakeMichigan, along that river there are several data centers,' she said, pointing out that Indigenous across #TurtleIsland share similar stories.

" 'These sacred waterways and lands are being used for A.I. data centers.'

" 'I was once convinced artificial intelligence could help my tribe build our language and culture, but AI is not a sustainable solution.'

" 'There is currently no available technology available to power A.I. without poisoning the water, drying up the rivers and causing further contamination in the territories of Indigenous Peoples, who are already disproportionately affected.' "

#Australia and the #RoyalFamily's #Genocide of Aboriginal People

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, June 16, 2026

"The Victorian Court of Appeal reserved its decision on whether Aboriginal rights campaigner Uncle #RobbieThorpe can hold #KingCharlesIII responsible for genocide. Thorpe is seeking to overturn a ruling that blocked his attempt to bring genocide-against #KingCharles III and other Crown representatives.

" 'Thorpe, a #Krauatungalung Elder and long-time advocate for Aboriginal sovereignty, appeared before a panel of judges in the Supreme Court of Victoria on Wednesday, arguing that Australian courts have failed to adequately address what he describes as the ongoing genocide of #FirstPeoples' reports SBS.

"While Australian Aboriginals want King Charles III held responsible for genocide -- at the same time, the National Congress of American Indians in the United States, in an article by #ICT, honors King Charles. ICT reported on a recent visit, turning it into play and fashion.

"Prince Andrew was arrested, his title removed, and he was removed from the Royal residence, after photos in the #EpsteinFiles verify that he was with minors exploited. He is now under investigation for the sexual abuse of minors and related crimes."

"The United States government is dynamiting the sacred place of Kumeyaay, who live on both sides of the border, and blasted two sacred monoliths that were 60 to 120 million years old. The U.S. began blasting #CerroCuchumá in early April, a historic and #SacredSite where their #MedicinePeople carry out ceremonies, without consultation as required by U.S. federal law."

"Sulayem has now resigned as head of DP World, based in Dubai, after his years of friendship, and lewd e-mails about women sent to Epstein, were made public.

[...]

"Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was named as a co-conspirator in the child sex trafficking ring led by Jeffrey Epstein in the public release of the Epstein files in February 2026, however, he has not been criminally charged."

#Epstein and #RobertKennedyJr., were on #PineRidge '#FossilHunting'

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 13, 2026

Excerpt: "In related news, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's is in the Epstein files.

The horrific abuse of children now being exposed in the Epstein files includes these facts: The #ZorroRanch in #NewMexico was never searched, and is now believed to have the bodies of young victims buried there.

"Former New Mexico Gov. #BillRichardson, who was deeply involved in energy negotiations in Indian country, was in contact with Epstein for years. Richardson is among those named by one of the underage girls as being responsible for abusing her. She also named #PrinceAndrew.

"The United Nations is also included in the horrific scheme. #GhislaineMaxwell promoted her #TerraMar, a false front non-profit claiming to protect the oceans, during years of testimony at the U.N.

"The University of Arizona in Tucson was among those who received a grant from Epstein's Gratitude 'non-profit.'

"These are just a few of the facts being exposed in the millions of Epstein's files now being released.

"Gov. Richardson's involvement with energy in #IndianCountry was during the same years that #TexHall rose to so-called glory.

"Hall, the #EnergyCzar from #FortBerthold in #NorthDakota, headed the National Congress of American Indians, and brought in massive #OilAndGas wells to the Three Affiliated Tribes in North Dakota. Hall's business associate was later convicted in the two murders for hire of their other business partners.

"Hall and Gov. Richardson were energy czars in Indian country, during the years when Richardson served as New Mexico Governor and U.S. #EnergySecretary."

🚨 The #GhostFlights: #Deportation Flights #Disappearing Thousands Arrested by #ICE

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 6, 2026

"We've been tracking the Ghost Flights, disappearing migrants, moms, asylum seekers, and others arrested in Minneapolis, who are quickly grabbed and taken away at a private terminal at Minneapolis international airport.

"The charter airlines are making it harder to track them, but here's what we found: #GlobalX, #Eastern and #Omni based in #TulsaOK, have operated most of these, with Sun Country also operating some of the flights.

"These secretive flights take those arrested to deportation hubs in isolated areas, where they are sent to prison, deported to other countries, or constantly shifted on flights. These secretive hubs are in #DadeCollier in the Florida Everglades; Alexandria in central Louisiana; and Harlingen on the Texas border.

"Those arrested are boarded shackled in chains from their wrists to their feet, and often denied water and food, and abused. While these secretive flights disappear people, their families desperately search for them.

"The flights out of #MesaAZ in the #Phoenix area are deporting hundreds on each flight to #Venezuela. A recent flight out of Mesa deported those arrested to #Russia and #Iran. The past flights show the men were immediately given #Draft notices for military service when they arrived in Russia. Protesters and political #AsylumSeekers face worse.

"As for the chartered airlines, the main contract is held by #CSI in #AlbuquerqueNM, who contracts out the other airlines.

"Yesterday, a Ghost Flight landed in #Guantanamo and then #Haiti. These are #moms, #workers, asylum seekers, #LegalResidents, and most are whisked away and denied due process. More than 2,000 have been deported from #Minneapolis.

"Other major hubs for deportation flights are #ElPaso, #Miami, #SanAntonio, and #TacomaWA. The deportation flights are arriving in every region of the world, the Americas, Asia, and Africa." 😱

"The Tribal Council members being made aware of a #LeechLake band member being apprehended in the Walker area. They suspect that it is just a matter of time before ICE officers attempt to enter the Red Lake Nation.

#Navajo President Claims No Money for #TribalIDs, while #ICE Terrorizes Native People and the Nation

The Navajo President plays politics -- while ICE grabs Navajos. Meanwhile, Native people are calling out their tribal governments for making money from misery from hotels and contracts, and sharing intelligence with ICE. The secretive ICE deportation flights are in this tangled web of heartbreak and misery.

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Updated Jan. 23, 2026

Excerpt: "While ICE is terrorizing the nation, Navajo President [and #Trump suck-up] #BuuNygren, playing politics, says there are no funds for tribal IDs. At the same time, ICE is out-of-control and making violent arrests in Minneapolis. Several #NativeAmerican governments are profiteering from this misery and being exposed by tribal members. Meanwhile, the secretive deportation flights continue, and Guantanamo is one of the destinations."

#OglalaLakota Nation Bans #ICE, Rejects #ImmigrationAgreement

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 23, 2026

Excerpt: "The Oglala Sioux Tribe unanimously banned ICE from #PineRidge and rejected a federal immigration agreement, during a special session of the #OglalaSioux Tribal Council on Jan. 21, 2026.

"Upholding their #sovereignty, the Oglala Tribal Council confirmed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement asked the Tribe to enter into Section 287(g), a federal agreement that would have allowed tribal law enforcement to act as immigration agents for ICE.

"The Tribal Council formally rejected any Section 287(g) agreement and voted to ban all ICE agents and activities from Pine Ridge.

"The Council resolution also states there is to be nation-to-nation consultation with the Interior Secretary, as required by federal law, concerning any detained Oglala Lakota.

"During the live broadcast, Council members said Lakota are being intensely harassed in #DenverCO, and #SiouxFallsSD."

#StandingRock and #Sisseton Wahpeton #Lakotas Seized by #ICE in Minnesota

#NativeAmericans are being detained throughout the United States illegally. Protests continue after the murders of #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti by federal agents in Minneapolis.

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 25, 2026

"The Standing Rock Lakota Nation reports that a tribal member is being detained after being seized by ICE in Minnesota. Another #Lakota, Sisseton Wahpeton #Oyate, was arrested by ICE. He was located safe, but bruised. He was standing near the site where Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was murdered by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. The Sisseton tribal member was among those present who was arrested. He was released without being charged with any crime.

"Other witnesses standing near the site of the crime, the murder of Alex Pretti, say they fear for their lives, and have gone into hiding. Federal agents are reported hunting down the #witnesses to arrest them.

"Northern Cheyenne President Gene Small in Montana reports back from the Minneapolis Indian community."

#ICE Terrorizing #Navajo, #Yaqui and #Shawnee in #Arizona and #Oklahoma

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews , Jan. 16, 2026

"ICE is terrorizing #NativeAmericans. A Navajo on his way to work in the #Phoenix Valley was grabbed by ICE on Monday. A #PascuaYaqui tribal member grabbed near #TohonoOodham's San Xavier District, bordering Tucson, reveals how federal agents are terrorizing U.S. citizens and migrants in detention. In Oklahoma, Absentee Shawnee are now being harassed and detained by ICE agents.

"Peter Yazzie, #Dine', was on his way to work in Peoria, in the Phoenix Valley, at 4 a.m., on Monday, when ICE grabbed him, ignoring his tribal ID and the fact that he is a U.S. citizen, reports Arlyssa D. Becenti, at the Arizona Republic.

"Peter Yazzie told ICE agents where they could locate his Certificate of Indian Blood, birth certificate and other documents proving that he was both a #USCitizen and #NativeAmerican. It made no difference. They aggressively placed him in the back of their vehicle and drove away early the morning of Monday, Jan. 12.'

"Yazzie was unaware that ICE was expanding operations throughout Phoenix and surrounding cities. Parked at a QT gas station between Peoria and Sun City near his job site, his morning began as usual, waking at 4 a.m. for his 5 a.m. shift."

#ICE Murdered Legal Observer in #Minneapolis -- Now Detaining Four #OglalaLakota in Migrant Sweeps

""There are 8,000 Red Lake residents currently living in the Twin Cities in the immediate neighborhoods where ICE is presently terrorizing residents," the #RedLakeNation said, expressing deep concern that #Ojibwe, known as #Chippewa and #Anishinaabe, will be abused."

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 8, 2026

"Oglala President #FrankStarComesOut said, 'I have been made aware that #ICE (Department of Homeland Security) has detained four of our tribal members in #Minneapolis,' Star Comes Out said late today.

" 'The four men are homeless and were living under the bridge near the #LittleEarth housing project. A bystander (also an #OglalaSioux Tribal Member) was able to get the information out of them that they are members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe but did not get names."

"The Oglala Lakota Nation in #PineRidge, South Dakota, issued a statement for Oglala to identify themselves as U.S. citizens and advised them to make this statement: 'Because I am both a tribal citizen and U.S. citizen, ICE has no lawful authority to detain me.'

"President Frank Star Comes Out pointed out that the Treaties affirm a nation-to-nation relationship with the United States, and advised Oglala not to speak without an attorney present.

"Oglala Sioux Tribal attorneys are reaching out to Minnesota Lt. Gov. #PeggyFlanagan about where the four Lakotas are being detained and what their names are. The Tribal Council and executive officers have also been informed, he said."

Law Enforcement's Secret Surveillance of Defenders at #ThackerPass, #PeeheeMuhuh, Exposed by #ProPublica and #NevadaIndependent

#LithiumAmerica of Canada plans huge #ManCamp in #Winnemucca

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Updated July 31, 2025

THACKER PASS, #Nevada -- "While descendants of the survivors of the massacre of #Paiutes at Peehee Mu'huh struggled to protect the sacred remains from the digging of a #LithiumMine, owned by Lithium Americas on Canada -- law enforcement had a spider web of surveillance.

"The law enforcement surveillance of defenders of Peehee Mu'huh, Thacker Pass, began before #MyronDewey was killed, and continued afterwards.

"ProPublica and Nevada Independent expose the spy trail of law enforcement and private security of Lithium Americas. The surveillance web of 10 agencies included the #BIA, and a #CounterTerrorism task force.

"During a meeting in April of 2021, the sheriff met with a spinmaster who linked the resistance to #StandingRock. This was six months before Myron Dewey was killed when a truck driven by a mining
engineer hit Myron head on.

"Myron was well known for his #reporting and #drone coverage at Standing Rock 2016--2017. Myron was livestreaming the day before he was killed near his home in #YombaNevada, Sept. 26, 2021. Myron was fighting the U.S. military's expansion of the bombing range on his #Paiute homeland. The Nevada legislators were pushing hard for the expansion, which Biden signed into law. Myron had also been delivering supplies to Thacker Pass in the months before he was killed."

Dine' tell Navajo Council 'NO COAL!'

The Monster has returned, and it is even more grotesque than the one before. Dine' remember forced relocation, the loss of water and medicine plants, and the loss of loved ones. Navajos say 'No!; to Trump and Navajo President Nygren's push for coal.

By #BrendaNorrell, @bsnorrell.blogspot.com June 1, 2025

#ForestLake, #NavajoNation -- "Dine' told the #NavajoNationCouncil that the #CoalIndustry has cost them their aquifer water, and their health. Combined with #UraniumMining, they have lost their loved ones to widespread #cancer and #BlackLungDisease killing their people.

"Dine' remembered #ForcedRelocation and the stripping of the #forest by #PeabodyCoal, during a hearing on Friday. The Navajo Council was told to stand up for #FutureGenerations, or step aside.

" 'The Navajo Nation has provided coal to the big cities for decades, while the people of #BlackMesa have nothing to show for it," Dine' from Black Mesa told the Council.

" 'We are supposed to be the Protectors of the Earth.'

"#LouiseBenally [#KleeBenally's aunt] of Big Mountain told the hearing that you can't trust what #Trump is telling you because he'll change whatever he says in the next sentence. Louise said he has no concept of what being a human is.

" 'Keep your prayers and your language, those are the things that really matter for us #IndigenousPeople,' said Louise. She and her family spent their lives resisting forced relocation brought by Peabody Coal's mining on Black Mesa.

" 'Everyone was opposed to another #CoalMining, it's not good for anything, and it is causing #GreenhouseGases to continue to rise,' Louise told Censored News.

" 'Doctor Nygren doesn't know that. He needs a hogan level of education.'

" '#ClimateChange is so, important to every living thing, we need to be finding solutions not making things worse.' "

#Radioactive #Uranium Trucks -- Slick Politicians and Easy-Chair Journalists
Endanger Public

Article by #BrendaNorrell, Censored News, April 17, 2025

"The copy and paste journalists, and the slick politicians doing self-promotion selfies on social media, don't want the public to know the facts.

"This is #PinyonPlainUraniumMine in the #GrandCanyon, poisoning the air, land and water in the homeland of the #Havasupai.

"The #UraniumMine is spewing out #RadioactiveDust for the world travelers who love this place, poisoning traditional medicine plants, and endangering the aquifer for future generations.

"#Navajo President #BuuNygren secretly did a deal with the owners, #EnergyFuels, to bring radioactive #uranium ore trucks through the #NavajoNation, without the #NavajoNationCouncil's knowledge.

"This agreement for radioactive trucks, shown here [at the link below], is an extreme danger for everyone on the transport route -- #Havasupai, #Paiute, #Dine', #Hopi, #Ute, and the residents of #FlagstaffAZ.

"Remote Native communities have no way to deal with radioactive spills.

"The radioactive trucks are covered only with tarps and dump their loads in the #WhiteMesaUte community in southeastern #Utah."

"While the bizarre court case continues in #MandanND, #EnergyTransfer v #Greenpeace, our most viewed articles include this one from the medics at #StandingRock, who were targeted and
attacked as the medics were treating water protectors on Oct. 27, 2016 -- a tactic that was used in #Palestine when medics were targeted and assassinated during the past two years. At Standing Rock, law enforcement had silencers on their weapons. 'Why do they have silencers if they are here for peace,' a medic said, who was fired on by law enforcement using shotguns loaded with lead-filled bean bags. According to the #GenevaConvention, knowingly firing at a medic wearing clear insignia is

#StandingRock Chair: #EnergyTransfer's Lawsuit Against #Greenpeace: 'Frivolous,'
Seeks to Silence #Tribe and #Allies

"The #DakotaAccessPipeline, referred to in our prophecy as the #BlackSnake, has come to harm our land, our water and our people." -- Standing Rock Chairwoman #JanetAlkire

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, March 4, 2025

STANDING ROCK NATION, #NorthDakota -- "In the case now before the district court in North Dakota, Energy Transfer versus Greenpeace, Standing Rock Chairwoman Janet Alkire blasted Energy
Transfer with the facts and made it clear that the #StandingRockNation led the resistance to Dakota Access Pipeline.

"Chairwoman Alkire said Dakota Access Pipeline destroyed #BurialGrounds, brought in #SecurityForces and #LawEnforcement that brutalized peaceful #protesters, and has already had a spill at Standing Rock -- while the pipeline is concealing its devastating safety records.

"'From the beginning, Energy Transfer has engaged in a security battle, secrecy battle and #propaganda battle against our Tribe,' Alkire said.

"'It promotes lies and propaganda to discredit our Tribe and our good faith concerns with DAPL’s impacts on our Reservation environment, and the global climate. Part of the attack on our Tribe is to attack our allies.'

"'Today, Energy Transfer is taking Greenpeace to court, frivolously alleging defamation and seeking money damages, designed to shut down all voice supporting Standing Rock.'"

Dispatches from Joye: The Beginning of #Resistance to #DakotaAccessPipeline, Spring of 2016

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 25, 2025

MANDAN, North Dakota -- "We travel back in time to the beginning of the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline. Jury selection is underway in the case of #EnergyTransfer v #Greenpeace and #RedWarriorSociety, and oral arguments are to begin tomorrow, in #NorthDakota District Court.

"Energy Transfer, the owner of Dakota Access Pipeline, seeks to erase the fact that this is, and has always been, an #Indigenous-led movement, Greenpeace said.

"On March 29, 2016 -- five months before hundreds, and then thousands arrived at the Standing Rock camps -- #JoyeBraun, #CheyenneRiverLakota, sent Censored News the announcement of the resistance.

"'It must be stopped,' Joye said in the media statement.

"#LaDonnaBravebullAllard, working then in the #StandingRock #HistoricPreservationOffice, released the statement with Joye.

"The headline read, 'Tribal Citizens Rise Up Against #BakkenOilPipeline: #HorseRide and #SpiritualCamp to be Held Along Proposed Route of Dakota Access Pipeline.'

"With the dateline of Cannonball, the statement says, 'On April 1st, 2016, tribal citizens of the #StandingRockLakota Nation and ally #Lakota, #Nakota, and #Dakota citizens, under the group name
Chante tin'sa kinanzi Po will have a #HorseRide to celebrate the founding of a #SpiritCamp that will be erected along the proposed route of the Bakken oil pipeline, Dakota Access."

So, I am well aware of the controversy surrounding #BuffySainteMarie and her heritage. But whether she is a pretendian (she claims to be adopted, something that's been disputed) or not, a lot of Native Americans accepted her as one of their own, and she had her pulse on what was going on with #AIM...

Buffy's Censored Words Led to Revelations in New #LeonardPeltier Film Premiered at Sundance

"My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she'd died of Exposure…"
- Buffy Saint Marie, Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, 1992.

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 4, 2025

TSAILE, #NavajoNation -- "The words of Buffy Sainte Marie, censored by Indian Country Today, led to revelations about Oglala President Dick Wilson's secret land deal on Pine Ridge in the new film Free
Leonard Peltier, which premiered at Sundance, producer #JesseShortBull told Censored News.

"Buffy's interview at Dine' College in 1999 was censored for seven years. Before I was fired as a staff reporter, a portion of the interview was published by the newspaper -- but one paragraph was still censored. In the still censored portion, Buffy referred to a secret land deal on the day of the shoot out at the #JumpingBull property on #PineRidge. Buffy said, 'Who recalls that on that day one-eighth of the reservation was transferred in secret -- on that day. It was the part containing uranium. That is what never seems to be remembered.'

"Dickie Wilson planned to turn over the #MineralRights in the Badlands to the U.S. government. The U.S. government wanted the land for uranium mining. Dick Wilson's secret plan was discovered in the documents in the BIA file cabinets by the #AmericanIndianMovement, during the takeover of the #BIA building in Washington in 1972.

"Following the premiere of #FreeLeonardPeltier at the Sundance Film Festival, Jesse Short Bull, Oglala Lakota, and director of the film, reveals how Buffy's words led to the search for the facts about #DickWilson's #UraniumMining scheme with the U.S. government. 'Buffy's song about Anna Mae really shocked me, she outlined it so well,' Short Bull said. 'The plans for mineral development for Pine Ridge were discovered at the 1972 BIA takeover, and by the 1980's the big wig energy companies came to Pine Ridge with big ideas for development."

The Dirty Secrets: #Whales, the #GrandCanyon and #WarCriminals

by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
November 22, 2024

"People who travel the world will tell you two things that they really love: Whales and the Grand Canyon.

"The majestic Orca whales are now at risk from the massive oil tankers departing the shores of British Columbia with thick crude oil from Alberta tar sands in Canada, bound for distant refineries and ports.

"Meanwhile, in the heart of the Southwest, the Grand Canyon, loved by the people of the world, now has a uranium mine spewing radioactive dust into the air, and endangering Havasupai's aquifer and future generations.

"Neither the Appeals Court in Canada, nor the U.S. EPA and Interior have done anything to stop these assaults on the most beloved natural wonders in the world, whales and the Grand Canyon.

"Rueben George, səlilwətaɬ, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, remembers the long fight to halt the Trans Mountain Pipeline, now carrying crude oil from Alberta tar sands to the Salish Sea, which flows off the shores of British Columbia and Washington State to the Pacific.

"George said they thought they were winning their case in Canada's Appeal Court.

"'They said you're right it's going to kill all the Orca whales, you're right -- but we're going to build it anyway,' George said at the Salish Sea Assembly in Seattle in November.

"The uranium mine in the Grand Canyon is now spraying radioactive dust on Havasupai's medicine plants, and into the air for the world's travelers to breathe. The uranium mine, operated by Energy Fuels of Canada, threatens the aquifer of Havasupai and future generations.

"The mine's radioactive truck transport is a deadly risk for Supai, Paiute, Dine', Hopi and Ute on the haul route. The radioactive ore is transported by truck to the Energy Fuels mill in the White Mesa Ute community in southeastern Utah.

"Interior's Deb Haaland, who is Laguna Pueblo and Norwegian, has not only failed to halt the deadly risks and destruction, but has proclaimed that the atomic bomb industry, Los Alamos National Laboratory, will lead the green 'energy transition.'

"Los Alamos Labs produces nuclear weapons and is already poisoning the Pueblo homelands in northern New Mexico with radiation. A federal judge recently halted the push to produce and store more plutonium at the site, citing a risk to the environment."

"The defenders are battling the dirty energy #corporations poisoning the land, water and air in western #Canada and #WashingtonState, and the waters of the Salish Sea. The rivers from British Columbia in Canada and Washington State come together in the Salish Sea on their journey to the #PacificOcean.

"The dead birds floating in the Alberta tar sands #TailingPonds, the #ManCamps linked to missing and murdered Indigenous girls, and the increased oil tankers in the Salish Sea -- are all parts of the dirty oil business of the Trans Mountain pipeline pouring out of Alberta's dirty tar sands in Canada, bound for #OilTankers in the Salish Sea.

"The destruction, and theft of land, is a continuation of the #genocidal residential school system. Native children were kidnapped, ripped from their families, and incarcerated in the abusive schools operated by Canada and the churches.

"'We can't drink water from there any more,' said Jean, who lives close to the Alberta tar sands in her homeland. 'I was born into this destruction.

"'Thousands of birds are dead in the tailing ponds.'"

#StandingRock Files New Lawsuit Against #DAPL

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
Oct. 29, 2024

"The #StandingRockLakotaNation has filed a new fedral lawsuit against the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington describing its threat to the water, and how Energy Transfer bulldozed the burial places of their elite warrior society. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe demands the immediate shut down of the pipeline.

"In a separate lawsuit in #NorthDakota state court, #EnergyTransfer is carrying out a fishing expedition, serving media and #WaterProtectors with third party subpoenas for the case slated in court for February 2025.

"In this case, the pipeline company is suing #Greenpeace and #RedWarriorSociety, and two Red Warrior #WaterProtectors. Greenpeace refers to the lawsuit as a frivolous $300 million #SLAPP lawsuit.

"Greenpeace now has a new report on the pipeline's #Environmental Rsks, and the threat to the water of millions of people who live along the #MissouriRiver. The new report strengthens Standing Rock's new lawsuit."

The Silent Killers in #IndianCountry: #Copper, #Lithium, #Uranium and #Plutonium

Judge finds plutonium plants in #NewMexico and #SouthCarolina violated environmental laws

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 10, 2024

"The U.S. government's plan for increased plutonium production at #LosAlamos National Laboratory, in the heart of Pueblo lands in northern New Mexico, has been delayed by a federal judge.

"Continuing the U.S. legacy of poisoning Indian country with #radiation, this comes as the U.S. government is granting leases to foreign #mining companies targeting Native #sacred lands and communities.

"#CopperMining is targeting San CarlosApache's sacred #OakFlat; #Hualapai are suing the US Department of Interior to halt lithium mining at their sacred spring Ha'Kamwe'; and the U.S. government is promoting the ongoing digging into the #Paiute Massacre Site in northern Nevada for #lithium, in violation of all federal laws that protect Native religious and historic sites, the environment and endangered species.

"Uranium mining in the Grand Canyon threatens #Havasupai's aquifer, the haul route endangers everyone in the Four Corners region, and the uranium mill at White Mesa Ute in #Utah is poisoning #Utes.

"Interior Sec. #DebHaaland said in Farmington, N.M., that Los Alamos Labs would be the leader in the so-called '#GreenEnergy transition' in the #FourCorners region.

"More than 500 radioactive #UraniumMill sites remain on the #NavajoNation that have not been cleaned up by the U.S. #EPA, which deceives the public by announcing plans and promises to clean up the #ColdWar sites.

"In the current federal lawsuit, a federal judge in South Carolina ruled that U.S. energy officials illegally neglected to study impacts to the #environment in efforts to increase plutonium production for nuclear weapons in New Mexico and South Carolina.

"'South Carolina District Court Judge Mary Geiger Lewis sided with environmental, #AntiNuclear proliferation and community groups last week who sued the National Nuclear Security Administration (#NNSA), which oversees the nuclear weapons stockpile as part of the U.S. Department of Energy [#DOE],' reports Source New Mexico.

"The U.S. is investing billions into restarting the manufacture of #PlutoniumPits, the grapefruit-sized spheres developed for #nuclear weapons. The plutonium is produced from uranium.

"'The federal government halted its manufacturing program at the #RockyFlatsPlant in #Colorado in 1989 after an FBI raid due to safety concerns and #EnvironmentalCrimes,' Source New Mexico reports.

"The U.S. government's #AtomicBombTesting in #Nevada left a trail of cancer and death for #WesternShoshone. The documentary 'Downwind' reveals the truth.

"'This is a very serious issue and that's why I can't let it go. I can't move on. People say, 'oh, why don't you just let it go?' Because it's killing my family. It's killing my land. It's killing my people. And that will not stand. It's being done in secret. And killing Indians in secret will not stand,' said Ian Zabarte, Principal Man of the Western Bands of the #ShoshoneNation of Indians. Zabarte is featured in '#Downwind' about radiation poisoning from U.S. #NuclearTests.

"Currently, foreign companies -- which receive the profits and find it easy to avoid clean up and responsibility for #environmental crimes and deaths from #cancer -- are receiving the mining leases from the U.S. government.

"Australian and Canadian mining corporations are devastating Native lands and communities, poisoning the water and causing widespread cancer.
Rio Tinto, targeting Apaches #OakFlat, is an Australian company which destroyed 46,000 years of #Aboriginal sacred history in caves in #Australia.

"Another Australian mining company is targeting #Hualapai's sacred site. It is #Hawstone / #ArizonaLithium, in Perth, Australia.

"#EnergyFuels, now uranium mining in the Grand Canyon, and operating the uranium mill at #WhiteMesaUte, is a Canadian company. Another Canadian company is digging into the #Paiute Massacre Site. It is #LithiumAmericas.
#Hopi judge #DianeHumetewa granted a temporary restraining order to halt the lithium mining at #Hualapai's sacred spring."
