Flyingman’s Can of Worms Posted in America's with tags American Indian Sovereignty, Betrayal, Criminality, Elections, globalization, greed, Indian Country, Indigenous People, Oklahoma Indians, Southern Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, Traditional Culture, Treason, Tribal corruption, Voice of the People on November 21, 2009 by buffalohair Have We Forgotten Tribal politics aside the situation in Concho is a very human crisis. On one side there is a tribal governor who consistently ignored many of his own constituents. On the other side are the elderly who took a major hit by Darrel Flyingman over the course of his tenure. In the case of my village the elderly were left to fend for themselves since funding for their only hot meal a day stopped. Other types of aid were also canceled with little or no notice as well. I personally know this for a fact since I was supporting some of my ...5 days ago
Buffalohair Cheyenne Arapaho Tribes in the Grips of Tyranny Nov 20, '09 8:04 AM by Ann for everyone Cheyenne Arapaho Tribes in the Grips of Tyranny Posted in America's with tags Darryl Flyingman, Dennis Banks, Native American Sovereignty, Russell Means, Southern Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, Supreme Court Injustice, Supreme Courty Authority, Tribal corruption on November 20, 2009 by buffalohair Nothing like getting a call from home only to discover that corruption has taken a nasty toll on your elders. That is what happened with me the other day when my cousin called and described what I thought to be the most reprehensible act of government meddling in tribal affairs. Imagine having an election where clearly a person was voted out of office only to discover the Supreme Court has decided to side with the looser. In this case the person was hopelessly corrupt, Darryl Flyingman of ...14 days ago
Monitoring the Falun Gong Human Rights Crisis in China Posted in Asia with tags China, Falun Gong, Slave Labor, Torture, rape, Repression, Human Rights Atrocities on November 10, 2009 by buffalohair As we continue to pretend China has evolved from its brutal past atrocities continue with greater zeal than ever before. Slave labor within China’s elaborate Gulag program has made China an economic giant. This racers edge makes it all but impossible for other nations and industries to compete since slave labor is illegal for the most part. With slaves at the helm it’s no surprise China’s good’s continue to have quality issues such as date rape drugs in children’s toys, defective drywall that has already made hundreds of thousands of homes in the US defective and unlivable. But it’s all about the money and corporate interests who’ve continued to import these bogus products and continue to get fabulously wealthy at the expense of US ...14 days ago
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s Possible Release Posted in Asia with tags Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma, Burma 2010 Election, Min Lwin, NLD, Than Han, Than Shwe on November 10, 2009 by buffalohair With news *Daw Aung San Suu Kyi may be released to organize her party for the pending election by Senior Burmese Diplomat Min Lwin, I am both happy and fearful. The last assassination attempt on Aung San Suu Kyi made by the junta on May of 2003 is a grim reminder of what the junta is capable of. The need for tight security should be on everybody’s roster if her release comes to pass. Fact is she should have security provided by an international contingent of security experts since I’m fearful the junta will try to have her whacked again. We must not forget the Burmese military’s involvement in the fateful assassination attempt of May 2003, notably Lt. Col. Than Han, Chairman of the ...50 days ago
Obama Passes on Dalai Lama Visit Posted in Asia with tags Barack Obama, China, Dalai Lama, Tibet on October 5, 2009 by buffalohair President Barack Obama passes on a visit with the Dalai Lama outraging many human rights supporters around the world. Interestingly enough in the *Dalai Lama Camp they are not as miffed, in fact they welcome the warming of U.S. China relations. Top aid and negotiator for the Dalai Lama, Lodi Gyari defended Obama’s “snub” and embraced this action noting that the Dali Lama was always supportive of U.S. engagement with China. According to Gyari the Tibetan people took a “broader long-term perspective” on this turn of events. In a statement Gyari said; “Our hope is that the cooperative US-Chinese relationship that President Obama’s administration seeks will create conditions that support the resolution of the legitimate grievances of the Tibetan people,” With all that said it would behoove ...
