Silence, they say, is the voice of complicity.
But silence is impossible.
Silence screams.
Silence is a message,
just as doing nothing is an act.
Let who you are ring out & resonate
in every word & every deed.
Yes, become who you are.
There's no sidestepping your own being
or your own responsibility.
What you do is who you are.
You are your own comeuppance.
You become your own message.
You are the message.

In the Spirit of Crazy Horse

Leonard Peltier

Ah Coombs, thanks so much for that news bulletin.....
Your'e one of those that actually BELIEVE everything the government feeds you.
All in all, to be fair.....This post was aimed at people who know the whole history of the Indian Plight, not just that day but all that led up to it. And I understand that some people don't. And I understand that in this forum I can expect the ignorance of others.


You would have fried Rubin Carter too, huh?

Begin by putting the incident in its proper perspective by showing that the Pine Ridge Reservation, at that time, had one of the highest per capita murder rates in the entire US, with the vast majority of those crimes, even today, still filed as "unsolved" (Check out Ward Churchill's "Indians are Us" and Agents of Repression for a detailed account of the killings in question). In fact, from 1973 to 1976 at least 69 Aim members and supporters were murdered and not one person was ever convicted, or even investigated, for these brutally horrific crimes. Why were these deaths not investigated you may ask. It is because the victims were primarily American Indians involved with AIM who were actively involved in the struggle to retain the lands lawfully granted to them in the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 against the federal gov't and the corrupt, unelected BIA administration of Dick Wilson. Many have openly claimed that Wilson and his so-called "goon squad" were responsible for these killings,

Although three men were originally charged with the murder of the agents in a separate trial preceding Peltiers illegal extradition from Canada, the first two defendants were determined to be not guilty of all charges their acts viewed as self defense. After this embarrassment the FBI decided that Peltier would be convicted at all costs and set about the task of constructing a case against him. After a trial marred by official perjury, witness intimidation and clearly manufactured evidence, Leonard Peltier alone was convicted, but then, only after the original judge was inexplicably removed from the case and replaced with one "friendly" to the FBI by a prejudiced jury of his white peers. Disturbing details surrounding how Peltier was ultimately convicted by this court presided over by an obviously prejudiced judge and jury on what amounts to a mountain of manufactured evidence, witness tampering, and lies.

Well, my "daddy" (I say with the best southern fried accent I can muster) was Native American, sooo he could very well have been killed if there...but by the true murderers, the FBI

"Bury my heart at Wounded Knee"

Answer 1

Thanks for the information...this is indeed a travesty and a serious miscarriage of justice...Thank You for you diligence to inform those of us who were uninformed but care.

Answer 2

Sorry to say it, but I'm against people shooting at the police, and
they can call him a 'political prisoner' or whatever all day long, but the blunt and bitter fact is that the essence of a lot of strife with native americans is that they'd basically like their land back, and it ain't gonna happen. I think the native american community would be well-served to leave poor ol' leonard be, and respect the law of the land that put him there, and have done with it. The american-indian wars are over now, let's leave em be.

Answer 3

I will never support a man who shot 2 FBI agents execution style.
He opened fire on them with a high powered rifle, because of outstanding arrest warrant for attempted murder. There was 125 bullet holes in their car. One of the agents guns was found in his car at his arrest. He had every appeal plus a request for clemency from president & every court said he was guilty.
He was turned down for parole in 2002, refused to attend parole hearing in 2004 & is scheduled for another in May 2008. I say leave him where he is - I would have voted the Death Penalty for him myself.

Answer 4

He has one step to true freedom
In the spirit of Crazy Horse
He must walk the line of Life Liberty and the pursuit of Crazy Horse.
And follow him into the great thunder

Answer 5

i'm not sure what i could do to help i hate the silence i think fear keeps alot of mouths shut maybe people should put a boycott on FBI apparel

Answer 6

I see, and would you still feel the same if your DADDY was one of the DEAD FBI agents SHOT execution style??

Eye for an Eye! He broke the and the law won!!!

Answer 7

I'm sorry to say I do not know of this miscarriage of justice but if he has been wronged, I hope justice is done and finds him innocent.
