( – promoted by navajo)

Three things that you can do right now to help Leonard Peltier are these. One, read Brenda Norrell’s article “Leonard Peltier attacked: Appeal to Attorney General.Two, get furious. And three…

During the call, Peltier said he will not be allowed “out of the hole” and in the general population.

Peltier said Canaan is a tough place, where gangs are being brought in. “He is one of the oldest ones there,” Cowan said. “He will not be allowed back in the general population or he will be jumped.”

Cowan said the FBI did tell Peltier that he was the victim in the attack, which she said was filmed on camera.

Peltier said he was set up in the attack. “It was a cold blooded setup,” Cowan said. She said he did not know his attackers. “He has never seen his attackers before.”

Peltier said he will be allowed only one phone call every 30 days.

Cowan said she is hopeful that President Obama will work “nation to nation” with the Turtle Mountain Chippewas to bring Peltier home to North Dakota.

“We have to push for his transfer, he is not safe there.”

All My Relations, Companeros, Friends in Solidarity,

In view of what occured Tuesday to our friend, Sun Dance Brother, a GrandFather and Elder, Leonard Peltier, AIM-WEST calls on friends and allies to come out this Friday, Jan. 23, in San Francisco and demonstrate their solidarity and deep concern for Leonard’s life, safety and security.

The rally in San Francisco, is at the Federal Building starting from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., at the corner of Mission Street and Seventh Street, across from the 9th District Federal Courthouse (near Civic Center Bart Station).

Our allies are encouraged to hold rallies and demonstrations in cities across the country, and throughout the world, and register their concern as well, those who know the case of Leonard Peltier’s imprisonment these last thirty-three years. This is a moment in time where we can take the opportunity to share with the outside world another example, and further expose the treatment and injustices committed against Indigenous peoples’ held hostage by an oppressive government.

Join with us and show your disgust against the justice system; the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in their obvious attempt to sabotage Leonard’s parole plans.They are responsible with callously and maliciously orchestrating an order to transfer Leonard Peltier to a lesser security prison with complete disregard for his life, placed into a dangerous situation whereby creates an environment which would cause, or provoke an attempt to harm his life; or to revoke any possibility for his release from prison any time soon, as per Leonard’s unwillingness to submit to an “incident report” of the attack.

Leonard needs to be transferred to another prison for his safety and well-being, now!

Meanwhile, we need to direct our demands on Leonard’s behalf to the attention to the Office of President Obama, and to the Director of Office of Bureau of Federal Prisons, and express to them our demand for Leonard’s health care, nutritional and medical needs as well.

We will file an official complaint with the Office of Attorney General to investigate the FBI for their role and involvement in the circumstances that lead to Leonard’s transfer to a lower level security prison.

Further, we call upon the offices of Congresswoman Pelosi, Congressman Don Conyers, and Congresswoman Barbara Waters, and U.S. Senators to investigate the possible implications of the Federal government’s offfices staging an assault on Leonard’s life, and of their obligation to protect our Elder.

Finally, we call on the attention of appropriate offices of the United Nations be alerted by registering our complaint to the Office of UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, the UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples, Prof. James Anaya, and the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Specifically, we call for an investigation on U.S. prisoners held unjustly longer than 30 years without parole, with reference to a US statute such as in Leonard’s case.

I think the link and the introduction with what else is quoted here would work. Help.

Re: Leonard Peltier #89637-132

Dear Attorney General Holder:

I am writing today to provide you with a number of serious concerns stemming from the case of Mr. Leonard Peltier and explain how this case impacts all US citizens.

– snip –

• Once Mr. Peltier arrived at the Canaan prison facility, he was jumped by younger inmates, severely beaten, put in solitary confinement and placed upon meal restrictions despite his having diabetes and other medical conditions. The family has requested copies of the video tapes of that incident to no avail. It is as if the whole scenario was contrived to detract from the fact that Mr. Peltier has been a model prisoner having more than enough points to qualify for parole.

• Retired, former and actively employed FBI agents have taken action against the release and parole of Leonard Peltier time and again. While it is their right to speak their opinion, it is not right to do so on federal time and at the taxpayer’s expense. Their letters, writings, articles, books, protests, outcries and interviews concerning Mr. Peltier, are a conflict of interest and tip the scales against him unfairly. In addition, it is certainly questionable as to the timing of a letter written by a former FBI Agent to Representative John Conyers and the beating Mr. Peltier received at Canaan.

O.K., so maybe it’s four things.

  1. Though I voted for Obama as  I did Bubba Clinton with high hopes, my dreams of his promises have been shattered, as have many of my  Native American brothers and sisters, especially with his sending our people to war, his neo-con elected officials, not to mention the Clintonites.
    As many of us remember, Clinton did not give Leonard his well-deserved presidential pardon after speaking with the horrid Indian killer and rapist  William Janlow. How interesting that he was not convicyed for these alleged crimes nor for the manslaughter of killing a motorcyclist at top-speed, but forced to resign. If it had been one of us, we would be with Leonard. Janklow lied and told Bubba Clinton not to free  the innocent Leonard because he had killed Federal Officials,
    . Did Bubba look further into the evidence that prooved that indeed Leonard is a political scapegoated prisoner? I suspect the same thing will happen with the yes-man Obama. But, I will not give up in writting to him and pestering his office and Administration with petitions. Nor should we. I will ask Obama to look into the proven evidence, the ballistics, the set ups, why  an unmarked FBI car was sent onto  the people’s land. By the way, when John Trudell’s family was brutally murdered (most likely by federal officials) why was that not investigated and why are the perpetraters not rotting in the hot house? Red Power live on!

  2. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has called for a two year time out on new mining claims nearly a million acres on the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona. The move reverses a decision by the Bush Administration to open the land flankink the park to hard mining including uranium mining. Mining would still be continued in the area on pre-existing claims. This weekend (7/21/09) the Havasupai Nation is convening a traditional gathering focused on protecting the Grand Canyon on traditional Havasupai lands from uranium mining. The gathering will be held at Red Butte – a sacred site just south of the Grand Canyon. Though this is old news by now, for those who can and live near the Grand Canyon please lets support the people in protecting our sacred lands. It has been noted that the Grand Canyon sits on an active volcano. Federal Park Officials have claimed that it could erupt at any time and is heating up and the ground rumbles from time to time. This could cause a nuclear winter. For  those who have not read Winona LaDuke’s All Our Relations, I encourage you to. It will make you mad and, hopefully, make us all active. Us Corporations are destroying our lands and lobbyists are paying  US politicians to look the other way, including Obama, sadly.
