GENOCIDE: 500 years and counting...

Call for Help

by Barry Carter

There is a war going in the state of Virginia and the United States against Native Americans.  Virginia is on the front lines of this war and Prince William county is the front lines in VA.  There are 70,000 Native Americans under attack as I write.  In 2008 over two dozen anti-Native American bills were passed by the Virginia State legislature.  Gaudencio Fernandez, is a Native American and U.S. citizen, who put up a sign on his private property expressing his views as a Native American.  He is being persecuted by the town of Manasses and Prince William County.  Right wing racist are up in arms because of the message of truth in Gaudencio's sign and have prodded town and county officials to take action (as can be seen from the debate on this website in Prince William county: http://www.bvbl.net/index.php/2008/03/25/mexicans-without-borders-defaces-manassas-again/.  The town of Manassas sent Gaudencio a letter several weeks ago telling him that he must remove the sign or face court action.  Last Friday June 20, 2008 police came to his house with an arrest warrant.  On July 8, he must go to court and is being prosecuted for not removing his sign.  

We must all remember that Turtle Island covers all of the area from the tip of South America to the tip of Alaska, and thus Indigenous people from anywhere on Turtle Island are Native American.  We never agreed to any borders imposed by Europeans, thus the "illegal immigration" issue is actually an indigenous rights and human rights issue.  What has been created with illegally drawn borders on our land, is an apartheid system.  The vast majority of people on Turtle Island are Native American (600 to 700 million).  There are perhaps 200 million white people and perhaps 50 million black people.  Turtle Island is and has always been a majority Native American (Indian) continent.  The laws and borders and brainwashing have us convinced that we are a minority in our own homeland, when in fact, we, by far, are the majority on Turtle Island.  Identity genocide, where we are classified as something other than Native American, is part of the brainwashing (colored, mulatto, mestizo, Hispanic, Latino, Black, Negro, White) and effort to keep our numbers low and to keep us disempowered.  Illegal Borders and illegal laws and false labels have been used for 500 years to keep us divided, conquered and powerless on our on land.  In 1714 our Siouan people in VA were illegal aliens North of the James River border, without a pass from the white people.  By 1830 we Indians were illegal aliens east of the Mississippi.  During the 1800's we were illegal aliens, in the west, when we left our reservations without a pass.  Now our numbers above the Rio Grande have been reduced, through physical and identity genocide, to the point where we are no longer a threat, so we are free to go as we please.  However, the hundreds of millions of Native Americans below the illegal border are a threat to the apartheid minority-white-rule system on Turtle Island.  Hence, the same people who said, "tear down that wall" in Europe are building a wall on Turtle Island to maintain a minority rule society on our homelands.

The apartheid system now on Turtle Island, works exactly the same as that of South Africa.  Most native people are kept out of the majority white area (the U.S. and Canada) and allowed in for menial labor, with temporary work passes.  It is illegal for the majority of natives to come and go as they please in their home land of Turtle Island.  Since 1492 Native Americans never agreed to any border at the Rio Grande river and thus this border is not binding on us.  The borders (apartheid system) is what keeps the majority native population powerless in our own home lands.  Our prophecies have stated for centuries that Native Americans would return to this part of Turtle Island and now they are here.  What we are seeing with the laws being passed and enforced in VA, against our brothers and sisters, is the Indian Removal acts of 2008 and the continuation of 500 years of genocide.  What we are see with Gaudencio Fernandez is no different that what our people have faced for 500 years.  And for 500 years we have allowed others to divide and conquer us with false labels, borders, brainwashing and pitting us against one another.  It is time for the 600 to 700 millions Native Americans on Turtle Island to be united, to come together, and take the lead in bringing peace, abundance, balance, justice and environmental harmony to our continent.  We are NOT against white people.  We desire living in peace and harmony, however, we will no longer tolerate the divide and conquer manipulation that keeps us powerless and beggars for crumbs from the table of the dominant culture in our own land.  How is it possible that we have brought into the greatest con-game in history where the illegal immigrants have become the natives and the natives are now the illegal immigrants?

Gaudencio needs a free speech attorney who is willing to take this all of the way to the supreme court if necessary.  If you know of anyone please email me.  We are putting on a nationwide, continent wide and world wide public relations campaign to bring justice for Gaudencio Fernandez—a Native American of courage and honor who dared say, "the emperor has no clothes".  Please fax or send letters, send emails, call and demand justice for Freedom of Speech for all U.S. citizens including Gaudencio Fernandez and an end to the 500 year old genocidal process against our people, that Manassas and Prince William County now leads, with proposition 287g, which forces local police to work with ICE to forcibly relocate Native Americans from Manassas and Prince William County.
