> MNN. Jan. 13, 2006.  It was a cold morning on
> January 12, 2004, when former Grand Chief James
> Gabriel got together with Wayne Easter, to play war
> games.  Easter was working for the Solicitor
> General's Office at that time.  They had maps on the
> wall, an arsenal of weapons and plenty of money,
> courtesy of the Canadian taxpayer.  With a $900,000
> Special Anti Crime subsidy, they had no trouble
> rounding up 67 untrained mercenaries ready and
> willing to try out the latest military toys on the
> unarmed citizens of Kanehsatake.
>
>
>
> This force was made up of aboriginals and
> non-natives from across the province of Quebec.
> They didn't wear badges, but they were all dressed
> up as Indian cops.  It was important to make this
> look like an "Indian war".  They had tasers.  They
> had tear gas.  They had MP 5's, AR 15 machine guns
> and who knows what else.  They meant business.  They
> had 16 body bags and a "hit list" of 55 Mohawks who
> were to be taken out on sight.  The $900,000 cost
> was put up by Solicitor General Anne McLellan's
> office, managed by Indian Affairs.

> Their objective was clear.

>
> The illegal nature of this raid was revealed in the
> media today.  The Liberals tried to keep the sleazy
> side of this operation under wraps.  The hot potato
> bounced out into the open after Jacques Chagnon, a
> former Public Security Minister of Quebec, gave an
> interview to Radio CBC.  They want to blame
> everything on their patsy, James Gabriel.  Everyone
> who was involved is distancing themselves.  Prime
> Minister Paul Martin knew all along about the
> turmoil in Kanehsatake.  He's had Eric "Handpicked
> by Chretien"  Maldoff from his office working there
> on land claims.  His job was to keep Kanehsatake off
> the front page.  Rob "Wrong" Wright, the national
> security adviser to the Prime Minister, was the
> chairman of a "Special Committee on Kanehsatake",
> looking into "security issues".

> No one did anything to stop the blood shed that was

> all along.  As usual, Martin purports to have no
> knowledge or control over what was happening, if you
> take his word for it.  Otherwise why was Wayne
> "Incompetent" Easter able to go and do this attack
> on his own?  Chagnon knew all along and claims he
> tried to prevent it. The RCMP and the SQ both say
> the same thing.  Which whistle blowers can blow the
> hardest?  Is it possible to suck and blow at the
> same time?  Who's running the bloody country anyway?
>  Was this a test case on how Indigenous people are
> going to be deprived of our lands, resources and
> lives?  Somebody gave the orders for the mercenaries
> to enter the territory and attack and kill the
> people.  What the hell is going on here?

> Canada and Quebec stopped funding the mercenaries at
> the end of December 2005.  The current grand chief,
> Steven Bonspille, inspected the arsenal they left
> behind.  A lot had gone missing.  It's floating out
> there somewhere.  It should make it easier for
> people to sleep at night.  He said, "I found 39
> tasers, 12 gauge guns, AR 15's, MP 5's, one of which
> was fully automatic, and a nice huge sniper rifle
> which is a highly specialized equipment which
> requires specially trained snipers.  I don't know if
> this is regular police equipment".  Steven Bonspille
> even found one bill dating prior to the attack
> showing that another $22,000 worth of guns and
> ammunition bought from Nichols by the mercenaries
> are still unaccounted for.  There are bullets in the
> thousands.  Over 100 30- round clips for an AR 15.
> Unbelievable!  They must be bad shots!  There are
> less than 2,000 people in Kanehsatake!  Maybe they
> wanted to get all the "Rez dogs too" which would
> make everybody mad.  Everybody loves their dogs over
> there.  "I am grateful that nobody died.".  Or they
> wanted to branch out to the neighboring communities.
>  The cache was all loaded up in the econolines at
> the Hilton.  Was this arsenal kept in the "honeymoon
> suite"?  That's where James Gabriel and his buddies
> were running up a $27,000 a week food and bar bill.

> Steven Bonspille sits on a council with "the

> continuously compromised themselves and are not
> trusted by the people.  Indian Affairs spent
> $500,000 to get them elected.  Their hearts belong

> No one is saying where the rest of the arsenal went.
>  Didn't Prime Minister Paul Martin make a campaign

> from the taxpayer's wallets towards it?  How much is
> going to be used to bring on violence against other
> Aboriginal communities?  Isn't it ironic that many

> Why send in a sniper?  What were the body bags for?
> The people they thought would stand up to them?
> Absolutely none of the Mohawks charged with rioting

> Briere presented fraudulent evidence.  He ignored

> How could these goofy mercenaries be given carte

> Former chiefs, Steven Bonspille, Pearl Bonspille and

> On January 12, 2006, the second anniversary of the

> He wants to investigate MNN.  He's worried if Paul

> Maldoff'didn't keep Oka off the front page.  They're
