Subject: RE: BS: Urgent! Save Pe'Sla - Sacred Sioux Site
All those concerned with the fundraising can be traced. MANY newspapers are now taking up the story too. Other tribes have come forward to help, bringing over $1million with them. They're probably going to need far, FAR more than that amount, sadly.
This case has now received so much publicity that if it were in the slightest bit 'dodgy' it would have been blown apart by now, so please, don't come visiting the 'suspicious minds' to me.
These guys are genuine and they're worried sick..
Recently, those on Pine Ridge put out a call for help after they were devastated by a Hurricane. Many came to their aid...including Paul McCartney, who donated generously to them 'behind the scenes'. You'll have to take my word on that one, as I was told it by someone who knows all about, because of other famous people they're in contact with over Leonard Peltier.
If ALL they wanted was money, the Sioux would take what the government's been trying to give them for a long time, and party for the next 100 years, but they are NOT like that. They are HONOURABLE People whose Souls are NOT up for sale and they just want their Sacred Land to be Respected, to be theirs, and to be treated as human beings!!
I'm so SICK of the Corporate and Political Feckers who are treating Indigenous People like shite all over the world!! Christopher Columbus is Alive & Well, except that nowadays he's called CATERPILLAR Columbus and he comes not with ships, but with JCBs, to pillage their land, forests, rivers and mountains!
You have NO idea how HARD they're all trying to come together, to fight The Bastards, when they have NOTHING to fight WITH, other than their bodies, their Souls, their Spirits! They are standing in front of JCBs, sitting down in front of trucks, tearing apart dams with their bare hands!
So, Gargoyle, get off your backside and go and HELP them, even if ALL you can do is use your words on a screen in a POSITIVE WAY, because they are fighting for YOUR world too!
