CENSORED: Algonquin resisting uranium mining, brace for police raid

One of the most ignored conflicts in North American media. - - -
-------------------------------------------------
Judge Gordon Thompson has ordered the Algonquins who are blocking access to a proposed uranium mine north of Sharbot Lake to leave immediately. The people have been told to expect the police on Wednesday, August 29th. All supporters are asked to come to the site to help maintain the peace. This is only the beginning of things to come under the conservative regime with the help of the liberals at Queen’s Park Toronto . The Bush administration in Washington DC needs uranium for their military industrial schemes.Justice Thomson has ordered the protesters to leave and allow Frontenac
Ventures Corporation to start uranium mining, to contaminate the
watershed of all of eastern Ontario and western Quebec, one of the
most densely populated areas in Canada .
"Frontenac shall have immediate, unfettered and unobstructed access
to the subject property including the field office, access road and all of
the identified exploration property and the Clarendon site," Justice
Thomson wrote. If the judge wanted to be truthful, he should have added,
“and the right for Frontenac to contaminate, destroy the unborn, carry out
genetic damage to the flora and fauna of the entire area”.
The interim injunction stands until a full hearing can be heard, which
includes a $77-million lawsuit and a full injunction against the Algonquins
starting on September 20.
We are very concerned that a judge who is supposed to be impartial
would not even consider the rights of the owners of the land. This is a
blatant example how our lands are being illegally expropriated. We have
been facing these “gold rushes” all over Turtle Island .
The mine gates are at highway 509 just north of Sharbot Lake , off highway
7, west of Perth and 42 miles north of Kingston .
The Algonquins know it’s their land. Chris Reid, the lawyer for the Ardoch
Algonquins said his clients are "not going to leave”. Who is oversees Judge
Thompson? He doesn’t appear to have read any Supreme Court decisions
that provide that Indigenous people must be consulted and give their fully
informed decision by a clear majority on a clear question, for any activity
by foreigners like Frontenac or any corporate Canadian in any form.
If the Algonquins are attacked, it will be a one-sided battle. The Indigenous
People vow to protect our land and jurisdiction. The world will see how
vicious and corrupt the corporate regime of Canada is. We have no physical
weapons. Our only weapon is the truth and doing what is right.
The Algonquins have already warned the colonial authorities and their agents
to stop trespassing on unsurrendered land, breaching the peace and
threatening violence. They point out that colonial courts represent only
their adversaries and their corporate interests. A neutral third party at the
international level is the proper forum. Frontenac Ventures Corporation is
trespassing. Their intent is to exploit and kill creation. When the owners of
the land say “no”, it’s “no”! There is nothing to negotiate.
A surrender of Indigenous land must be done under their own law, the
constitution of Canada (Section 132) and international law. It must be done
through negotiation and a vote on a clear question by the majority of the people.
Even Canadian law does now allow this kind of annexation without consultation,
consensus and compensation. Algonquin law does not allow the land to be
alienated.
The company must allow an archeologist visit the site to "determine aboriginal
burial sites" and other items of significance. They are even going after our
ancestors to contaminate them! Living people isn’t enough for them. It’s half
swamp. They want to create uranium contamination which turns things into a
radio active soup. The judge' instructs the police to arrest anyone who stands in the way, and
Frontenac cannot be stopped in its right to destroy people and the environment.
This is Ottawa ’s prototype for the “final solution” of the “Indian problem”
elsewhere. When it’s all done, they hope nobody will know about it.

I don't know much background on this story but it is something that the media should be paying attention to.

Thanks for this Angry indian. There is a few of these stories floating around at the moment. 2 from Australia, and 1 from Khazakstan concerning a post-Soviet nuclear waste dup about to fall into a river where 15 million people get there water from.
