"It's ludicrous," says Doug Grell, an FBI special agent stationed in the Rapid City office for the past 19 years. "We framed Leonard Peltier? Well, if the government is trying to frame Leonard Peltier, we got awful lucky, didn't we? We just happened to pick a guy who was there and who admits to shooting at the agents."
Read my previous posts on the FBI, Myrtle Poor Bear and the agent who framed Elmer Geronimo Prat, also wrongly incarcerated in the American Justice System for around 30 years before finally being released. M Wesley Swearingen, ex-FBI agent fought for the release of Elmer, for he KNEW they'd framed him.
Wes is also now helping on the new film about Leonard Peltier, hopefully due out in 2013 'Wind Chases The Sun'......
If you believe *anything* the FBI says about this case, then, you are a fool. What you *should* be asking is WHY the FBI are paranoid, to the point of insanity, about Leonard being set free...and whose backs they're trying to cover. Also, check out what just happened to happen to John Trudell's family, very shortly after he was threatened by the FBI.
Maybe you believe in coincidences.
I don't.
Maybe you believe the FBI would *never* do something so horrendous.
I do.
You do the research, gargoyle..
Someone sent me this today...thought I'd put it in here to show that hatred is still alive and well...
Sacheen Littlefeather still being insulted over 30 years later, this time on Jay Leno's show
And from that link comes this part, recalling earlier days:
"John Wayne was backstage, and he became very upset at my speech, and it took four to six men to restrain him from coming to drag me off stage," says Littlefeather.
After the show she read the full speech in a press conference and The New York Times published it in its entirety.
Littlefeather says she was immediately blacklisted in Hollywood. She received death threats and was lied about in the media, with some reports claiming, for example, that her Native dress for the Oscars event was rented. (It was her Northern Traditional pow wow dance outfit.)
"I found out from friends in the industry that they had been visited by FBI agents right after the Academy Awards who had threatened to put them out of business if they hired me. In those days [the FBI] planted a lot of seeds in the media," she says, referring to the FBI's efforts to infiltrate many of the social movements of the day in divide and conquer tactics to discredit and destroy civil rights groups like the Black Panthers and the American Indian Movement...."
Sacheen's speech at the Awards
And..if you have Native American blood in your ancestry, then a lot of people want to explore more, for that is where they come from, in part. They may equally explore the other parts of their heritage, or they may not.
