The Atlas Network has ... history of using its influence ... to crush foreign impediments to #American #corporate interests. It has acted against #FirstPeoples’ power in #LatinAmerica, in #Canada, and in #Australia.
... actively working to suppress #protest rights around the world, particularly those directed at #climate action. It has long feared the combined power of First Peoples with the #environmental movement to obstruct #resource #extraction profits.

#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."

Learn more about #ChiefMaquinna.

This is a collection of words, photos and video clips for Hyas Tyee #Nuuchahnulth - Chief Maquinna. A greatly respected & important Chief of the Nuuchahnulth #Haida People, of the Haida Gwaii Islands, in #BritishColumbia #Canada.

Chief Maquinna (also transliterated: Muquinna, Macuina, Maquilla) was the Chief of the Nuuchahnulth People of #NootkaSound, during the heyday of the maritime fur trade in the 1780s and 1790s, on the #PacificNorthwest Coast.

British explorer #CaptainCook went looking (like so many #Europeans before and after him)or the Northwest Passage. He ran headlong into a thriving trade and business culture on the west coast, overseen by young Nuu-chah-nulth, Chief Maquinna.

The two men's encounter would forever change trans-Pacific trade and teach the European empire a lesson in diplomacy, they've managed to forget, many times over.

*The #Saugeen #FirstPeoples won their lawsuit 👏 Appeals court dismissed #Ontario government's appeal. Justice was finally served.*

Ontario's top court has upheld a lower court's ruling that a strip of #SaubleBeach, a popular Ontario tourist spot, has always belonged to a local #FirstNation.

In a 121-page decision on Monday, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed appeals brought by the Municipality of South #BrucePeninsula, the Ontario government, and several local families to the April 2023 ruling by Superior Court Justice Susan Vella.

"Justice was done today," said Saugeen First Nation Chief Conrad Ritchie in a statement, calling it a "powerful moment" for the Saugeen community.

In her 2023 decision, Vella ruled that "Chi-Cmiinh," a roughly two-kilometre strip of beach at the northern end of Saugeen Reserve No. 29, had always belonged to Chippewas of Saugeen First Nation, and that the federal government breached its treaty rights.

The Crown, Vella wrote, failed to protect and preserve the #treaty it signed in 1854, Treaty 72, in which the First Nation and neighbouring #Chippewas of Nawash surrendered Saugeen Peninsula, excluding five #Indigenous reserve territories. One would become #ReserveNo29.

I seriously think she should be visiting #FirstNations communities across #Canada instead of using our #TaxDollars to fly across the world to talk to other #Indigenous ppl! We have tons of wisdoms available from #Native elders, matriarchs, youths & activists - right here, in Canada. If she can't help domestic #FirstPeoples - zero faith she'll do much to help any others globally either.
