Thread Name: BS: Petition to Free Leonard Peltier
Subject: RE: BS: Petition to Free Leonard Peltier
Amnesty International, whom I've already contacted say they can do nothing more. They've been trying for near on 4 decades..

Why do I put details on here? Because there are folks here from America and Canada, as well as many other places, who may just be interested in doing something and who knows where any path might lead...Many on here are singers, songwriters, musicians, who are in touch with others of their trade...They have many opportunities to tell Leonard's story if they feel like doing so, thus bringing yet more people in.

I don't give a fuck if it gets up your nose, Dave, where, or what I post. I sure as hell am sick of your snidey remarks though.

I also post on the White House Wall, not so that people will think I'm some kind of fooking Saint, but because SOMEONE bloody well has to, to get most of the eejits who post total gobbledeegook on there to sit up and take notice!

Several posters from there have come over to my page and now spread the word to their friends..and THAT is why I do it!

Comprendez?????


MANY posters, the Occupy Wall Street Guys, on the Support Chief Raoni page I seem to now be running myself, are now spreading Leonard's story far and wide, along with the many dreadful things that have happened to the American Indians for so long, a great deal of which they knew nothing about...And they're ANGRY they knew nothing about his story.

The world seems to have forgotten Leonard Peltier....so the more folks who help to spread the word, the better. I am simply one more, no more or less important than the others who've been doing FAR more for a very long time, and who will continue to fight, with every breath in their body, to free Leonard.

Vivienne Westwood is doing all she can behind the scenes too....

The LPDOC guys are sensational and they're doing a bloody wonderful job keeping Leonard's morale up, fighting for better conditions for him all the time, recently demonstrating yet again, so that Obama would see them all on his recent visit to one of the Tribal Conferences.

Read this is you want. But hey, if you don't give a shit, then why the fuck do you bother to come in here, other than to have your usual bloody 'go' at me? You're a bully, Dave. Covert, but a bloody bully nonetheless, always determined to get folks to see me in as bad a light as you can possibly shine......

Well, shove your light up your arse and get out of this thread...

Thanks..


And yes, you're another reason why I rarely come here any longer. Hope that makes you proud, and if it does, then you are even more up your own arse than I think you are.

As to 'my motives' again, fook you. I just do things the way I've always done them, to spread the word, to make folks think, to get them angry sometimes, which causes thinking to go even deeper..I really don't give a flying duck what you, or anyone else thinks about me, so long as the message gets out there.....

So take your vindictive, suspicious crap and do with it what you will.




Oh, and folks can also check out The Leonard Peltier Walk for Human Rights, starting from Alcatraz Island, led by Dennis Banks, on December 18th...

>>>"Dennis Banks-Ojibwe
in Tucson, AZ
ALCATRAZ ISLAND - Dennis Banks, Ojibwe, will kickoff "The Leonard Peltier Walk for Human Rights." The Walk will leave Alcatraz Island on Sunday, December 18 and continue through California on its way to Washington DC where it will conclude on May 18, 2012.
The walk is an effort to raise attention regarding political prisoner Leonard Peltier, imprisoned for over 35 years, to seek his freedom, and to demand President Obama to assert his authority by providing an Executive Clemency.
"Leonard has served 35 years for something I do not believe he is guilty of doing,"
Banks told the Native News Network from the Leech Lake Indian Reservation in Minnesota on Thursday.
"He should be granted clemency for humanitarian reasons. He should be granted clemency for health reasons, " Banks continued.
"He has served time for real questionable court activities that found him guilty," stated Banks.
"He has already served too long."
Peltier, Turtle Mountain Ojibwe, was convicted of killing two FBI agents who showed up on June 25, 1975 at a private residence in Oglala, South Dakota.
Many American Indians and others around the world view Peltier as a political prisoner. Through the years, Peltier's supporters have included the Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa and Bishop Desmond Tutu, among other prominent names.
Banks is the co-founder of the American Indian Movement. He completed the Longest Walk 3 - Reversing Diabetes in July, which brought awareness to the epidemic rates of diabetes among American Indians in the United States. Banks led the first Longest Walk from San Francisco to Washington in 1978.
Banks will be joined by Dorothy Ninham, coordinator for Leonard Peltier Walk for Human Rights, Antonio Gonzales, Norman "Wounded Knee" DeOcampo.
Spiritual advisors Fred Short and Yvonne Swan and other regional American Indian Movement representatives will also be part of the ceremony and kickoff. Short and Swan will be on hand to guide the prayer service/ceremony. The morning's theme will also address the United States injustice system and support for all political prisoners human rights.
There will be drummers and singers, fire and tobacco offerings. All supporters and allies are welcome to attend this Sunday Prayer Circle who are in solidarity with political prisoners. The gathering is to also offer strength to the volunteers who have committed themselves to walk across the United States for Leonard Peltier and for all political prisoners, from Alcatraz Island to Washington.
The boat leaves for Alcatraz Island from San Francisco at Pier # 33 beginning 9:10 am until Noon. Prices for the ferry to Alcatraz Island are tentatively $14."<<<<
