Oregonians Amazon review of American Indian Mafia by the Trimbachs falls flat on its face!

Cheryl Caragan says:
Wow, what is this guy smoking? I read this book and several others on the same topic. This one-sided rant tells me more about Oregonian, "enthralled" in his "ideology" than it does about the FBI's Agent Trimbach. True, the book comes at it from a law enforcement view, but "O" attacks this with vengeance, as if the book should have been more understanding of rapists and murderers when they happen to be Indians, or in O's case, hypocritical leftists. Why do the O's of the world splatter with pompous political views they accuse everyone else of having?

To make sure we appreciate his deep understanding, O levels several charges which are simply false. Among the fibs, O's claim that Trimbach's book says J. Edgar Hoover didn't know about COINTELPRO, a program Hoover obviously oversaw until he put an end to it. O is so anti-FBI he can't see straight, and this obviously pervades the rest of his hateful diatribe. Trimbach does not appear to have a problem with honest judges, but evidently O does (considers them "right-wing"), since he accuses Trimbach of being too hard on the dishonest and corrupt ones, judges who, according to O, simply "disagreed" with the FBI. Federal Judge Nichol, outed by this book, secretly invited criminal defendant Dennis Banks to his home before the Wounded Knee trial, the case Nichol presided over. Banks shared tea and crumpets with Mrs. Nichol whom he made an honorary member of AIM. No problem, eh O?

And just like the pajama-clad dumplings alluded to in the book, O second-guesses Agent Trimbach's decisions at Wounded Knee. I'm so sick of these yahoos, always piously critical of other's life and death decisions. Trimbach's plan of ending the standoff would have been "horrible," as if the complete destruction of the village, hundreds of Indians left homeless, and secret rapes and murders by the AIM leaders were somehow preferable. If O had actually read American Indian Mafia, he might have noted that more people were killed, i.e., murdered, not to mention interrogated, tortured, raped, beat up, etc., by AIM thugs than died (2) as the result of massive long-range gunfire instigated by militants during a dragged-out, 3-month village occupation. O must be okay with covering up the Wounded Knee murder of civil rights activist Ray Robinson, to use his logic, if it somehow reflects poorly on the FBI or furthered the militant AIM agenda. Guess that makes O a racist. He should be happy: the government spent most of their time appeasing the butcher of Wounded Knee, Dennis Banks, just as O favored. And if one actually reads the latter chapters, Trimbach presents a good argument that this was the reason the village was destroyed, lives were lost and ruined, and a whole contaminated history was born.

And about the claim that the trial of Leonard Peltier is barely mentioned? Utter BS. Trimbach spends more ink exposing Peltier, by thoroughly analyzing the legal case against him, than any other book I've read about Peltier, and there have been many (bad) ones. Trimbach begins with the trial and finishes by demolishing all the bogus arguments meant to exonerate this guilty killer. And he does this by highlighting major parts of Peltier's trial, other trials, appeals, and the propaganda O evidently has no problem defending. What is O inhaling if not his own caustic vapors? Look in the mirror, pal: "...lying scum-bag... willing to do anything, or say anything to win [his] ideological battles..." And he says Trimbach uses "distasteful" language? Biting sarcasm, yes, tame when dealing with rapists and murderers, nothing like what O hurls. Like when O implicates the FBI in the 1975 murder of AIM member Anna Mae Aquash. Doesn't O know that Anna Mae's executioners, both AIM members, were convicted of murder and that their leader, Dennis Banks, likely made the final decision to end her life? And according to Trimbach, AIM thugs still intimidate those who might testify against them. Like the book says of other self-anointed historians, no need to let the facts get in the way.

Trimbach's book is a good read partly because it reminds us of the cost of freedom and justice, ideals ridiculed by his detractors. One may not like the tone or style of his book, but it's a damn sight better than its critics' tantrums. Mafia fillets the same type of politically motivated vitriol O trumpets out like a foghorn. Trimbach thus explains how and why AIM's legacy has been so terribly falsified. Without realizing it, Oregonian proves Trimbach's point and unwittingly supports his well-constructed arguments. As the FBI's Trimbach contends, truth wins out in the fullness of time, most often by exposing the liars.

I have two suggestions for you, Cheryl; Number one: find a person you can trust, someone with good reading compression skills, and have them explain my review to you. Based on what you have written, you don't have a clue about what my review is saying. If you did, you would realize that the points you are trying to make are not valid. Nor do you seem to understand the book in question, or its subject.

Number two: seek medical help for your internalized rage. I would suggest getting medication first, then a follow up with long term counseling: at least until you can gain some measure of control over yourself. Trolling the net, looking for people to rage/flame at, is not healthy for you. Get some help with your anger issues, and you won't be so prone to self-projecting your issues onto other people. Good Luck!
 
Oregonian,
You & your Amazon review of American Indian Mafia & the Trimbachs needs a tune-up & a history lesson, as well as your narcisstic response to Cheryl Carrigans comment on your book review....
I would suggest getting yourself educated to the fact the American Indian Movement, whom your review supports & makes into heros & role models, fact is AIMsters are nothing more than frauds, domestic terrorists, murderers, liars, thieves, rapists, pedofiles whom will shortly will be joining Peltier in prison for their roles in the murder of Anna Mae, take it from a victim of AIM, you havent a sniff about what you think you know.... so the next time you want to give a review or your opinion, think before opening your mouth.
You just showed how little you do know, & you have gloriously shown that to the world!
If anyone needs to be medicated, its you Buddy Boy...come to momma, I will educate you, & you wont be spewing the retoric to me you have to my very good, well educated lifelong friend, Cheryl Carrigan...
Yeah, I know...when a woman disagrees with a man, she has to have mental issues, needs medication, be angry, or is menopausal, what is your excuse Oregonian, eh...just stupid!

Martha Bad Warrior & what Cannunpa she is holding on her lap on Aug. 1936!

Martha Bad Warrior & what Cannunpa she is holding in her lap!

I see all the Arvol Looking Horse backers, followers & believers have the info about only the men carrying on the linage, that has only been the mindset since the American Indian Movement came on the scene & removed the women fromtheir rightful place in our Matriarchial society.
On HakiktaWins Twicpic page, it clearly shows old man (Red Hair) Elk Head holding a Cannunpa while wearing a crucifix around his neck, the very reason Martha took it upon herself to take possession of the Calf Pipe(s), both the Catlinite & the Buffalo Legbone Cannunpa White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman brought to the Lakota in approx. 1550.
The photo of Martha, taken by Wilbur Riegert in Aug. 1936 only months before her death in Oct. 1936, Martha has on her lap the Seven Council Fires Cannunpa, not the Calf Pipe! I have verifying info to support this in photographs from a private collection received the fall of 2009.
All of my info on my website http://www.lookingbackwoman.ca/ does not have all of the most verified info on it, because of the time element, & the fact more info becomes available all the time to support what I have been saying since coming forward Feb 2006.
I have my Twitter HakiktaWin account, Twicpic, WordPress, FaceBook, LinkedIn for the most current info available on the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin. What the opposition has is what the academics wrote, which has been inaccurate, since they chose to overlook Wilbur A Riegerts books I am a Sioux Indian & Quest for the Pipe of the Sioux, As Viewed From Wounded Knee, which gives the most accurate account of the discription, origin, linage, & ceremonial use of the  Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin there is available.
For many years the academics believed the Seven Council Fires Council Cannunpa was the Calf Pipe, & wrongly so. The Seven Council Fires Council Cannunpa represents our Tetuwan Governmental Cannunpa (Pipe), & the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin (Calf Pipe) is our Spirituality core values & Lifeways Cannunpa (Pipe). Two very differenct Cannunpas, with two separate purposes.
The Seven Council Fires Council Cannunpas shape represents our two most Sacred areas, the Black Hills, Paha Sapa, & Turtle Mountain in Manitoba…the two humps on the Seven Council Fires Cannunpa represents these two geological areas of Spiritual importance to the Tetuwan Nations of the Dakota-Lakota-Nakota peoples.
Nothing is more real than the woman’s superiority.
It is they who really maintain the tribe, the nobility of blood, the geological tree, the order of generations and conservation of families.
In them resides all the real authority: the lands, the fields and all their harvest belong to them; they are the soul of the councils, the arbiters of peace and war, they hold all the taxes and public treasure; it is to them that the slaves are entrusted;
they arrange the marriages; the children are under their authority; and the order of succession is founded on THEIR blood….
The Council of Elders which transacts all the business does not work for itself.
It seems that they serve only to represent and aid the women in the matters in which decorum does not permit the latter to appear or act….
The women choose their chiefs among their maternal brothers or their own children.
Quote
Father Joseph-Francois Lafitau
Customs of the American Indians
compared with the Customs of Primitive Times (1724)
So, the information from the opposition is not correct… that only the men would be responsible for carrying & caretaking the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin.
Before the American Indian Movement came into our lives in the late 1960s-early 1970s, & the wasciu brought the concept of a patriarchial society, the women were the sole arbitrators of our people, ceremonies, Chiefs, spirituality & lifeways.

The Fraudster of the Republic of Lakotah...Not even Lakota at all!

Fraudster of Republic of Lakotah…Blusters Last Stand!

American Indian Religious Freedom in Theory and Practice
 By Russell Means July 1, 2011
The late Seneca scholar and philosopher John Mohawk said: “In order to be free, you must act free.” Mohawk was a contemporary of mine, and he knew the struggle for freedom for indigenous peoples is not theoretical, it is real; it is also difficult, constant and requires remembering where we, as American Indians, come from.
I was reminded of John two weeks ago when a number of people and I put up and participated in the Lakota’s most sacred ceremony, the Sun Dance in the sacred Black Hills in occupied Lakota territory. For thirty-three years, we have put up our ceremony where it is supposed to be held, in the He Sapa. This year was different though, and that’s why I thought of John. This year, the National Park Service tried to impose unacceptable restrictions on how we were going to gather, meet, and support the ceremony where we hold it, in what the invaders now call Wind Cave National Park.
When we arrived at the site, we were met by over a dozen armed federal rangers, including what appeared to be SWAT team members. They had roped off the area with yellow rope and bright orange snow fence. It immediately felt like we were being imprisoned for our ceremony, but we did not put up with these arbitrary restrictions. We were required to respond to the U.S. officials as if we were free, and we did. We successfully put up our camp and held our five-day ceremony. Most Indian people who are under fifty years of age cannot recall a time when our indigenous sacred ceremonies were illegal, but I can.
Let me repeat, our ceremonies were illegal—people went to jail for dancing the Sun Dance, for constructing and using the purification lodge, for practicing the Peyote Way, and for many other of our traditional ways. I personally remember when the government would send a doctor to supervise the piercing of the flesh; if the ceremony did not meet with their approval, they would cancel the ceremony! It was because of these racist restrictions on our spirituality that the American Indian Movement and others actively challenged the U.S. policies—resulting in the passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA).
We knew, however, that AIRFA meant nothing if we did not exercise our rights, and if we did not force U.S. officials to respect our natural rights to spiritual freedom. Unfortunately, the passage of AIRFA was a hollow victory. Of the first twelve cases brought by Indians, we lost all twelve cases. The U.S. Supreme Court said AIRFA was primarily a policy statement, with no provision for legal enforcement in the courts. AIRFA was amended in 1994, with stronger requirements for U.S. officials to respect indigenous ceremonies on what the U.S. says are federal lands, with a right for Indians to sue in federal courts for violation of our access and use of sacred sites.
Specifically, the amendments state that “no Federal lands … may be managed in a manner that undermines and frustrates a traditional Native American religion or religious practices.” Two weeks ago, we had to remind the National Park Service (NPS) that we have been engaging in our ceremonies long before there was a NPS. When the NPS said that we were subject to the restrictions of the Archeological Resources Protection Act, we reminded them that we, and our ceremonies, are part of the living archeology of the region.
At one point, while the ceremony was in progress, the rangers entered the camp and began to give orders about how the camp was to be organized. I challenged them to arrest us. We were willing and able to assert our natural rights, our treaty rights, and our statutory rights before a federal judge. The rangers withdrew and did not bother us for the remainder of the ceremony. In order to be free, we must act free—and we must be willing to risk the costs of doing so. At the same time that we were asserting our rights at Wind Cave, a gang of thugs, known as the U.S. Supreme Court, was handing down its recent decision in U.S. v. Jicarilla Apache Nation.
The main part of the opinion was bad enough, saying that the U.S. could engage in conflict of interest in administering Indian trust assets, and the U.S. does not have to disclose its bad acts. The more revealing part of the opinion, and a position that is directly related to how the National Park Service was treating us at Wind Cave, was that “The trust obligations of the United States to the Indian tribes are established and governed by statute rather than the common law, and in fulfilling its statutory duties, the [United States]Government acts not as a private trustee but pursuant to its sovereign interest in the execution of federal law.” Every Indian person should understand the meaning of this last sentence.
Some Indian tribal government officials and Indian law attorneys relate to U.S. government officials and courts as though the “trust relationship” will serve as a kind of shield against injustice. This is pure delusion. The Supreme Court has now made it crystal clear that the so-called trust relationship is a sham, and that the highest and primary interest of the U.S. is to protect its own sovereign interests, and not those of indigenous peoples. It has also made clear that the fabrication of federal Indian law by the U.S.
Congress and the U.S. courts is the tool and the vehicle to protect those U.S. interests. The only remedy for this latest expression of anti-Indian racism is for all Indian people to “act free, in order to be free. Russell Means, Oglala/Iynktowan, is Chief Facilitator, Republic of Lakotah (republicoflakotah.com), and author of the autobiography Where White Men Fear to Tread.
Means is not Lakota as he states here, he is Crow, White, & Dakota, which negates his self-proclaimed Republic of Lakotah, period. He cannot represent the Lakota people in such a self-serving way as he has done for the last 40 years without any Lakota protocols being met or recognized by Means.

Nothing humble or real about this fraudster-AIMster, Blusters Last Stand!

Russell Means
Russell Means has lived a life like few others in this century – revered for his selfless accomplishments and remarkable bravery. He was born into a society and guided by a way of life that gently denies the self in order to promote the survival and betterment of family and community. His culture is driven by tradition, which at once links the past to the present. The L.A. Times has called him the most famous American Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. His indomitable sense of pride and leadership has become embedded in our national character.
Today, his path has brought him to Hollywood, thus enabling him to use different means to communicate his vital truths. Through the power of media, his vision is to create peaceful and positive images celebrating the magic and mystery of his American Indian heritage. In contemplating the fundamental issues about the world in which we live, he is committed to educating all people about our most crucial battle-the preservation on the earth. Thirty years ago, reflecting the consciousness of the sixties, he captured national attention when he led the 71-day armed takeover on the sacred grounds of Wounded Knee, a tiny hamlet in the heart of South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation. Means joined “The Longest Walk” in 1978 to protest a new tide of anti-Indian legislation including the forced sterilization of Indian women. Following the walk, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution saying that national policy was to protect the rights of Indians, “to believe, express and exercise their traditional religions, including but not limited to access to sites, use and possession of sacred objects, and the freedom to worship through ceremonials and traditional rites.”
Today, with the same passionate determination, he has directed his energy towards the entertainment industry. In a record period of time, this famed political activist and early leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM) has become immersed in all five corners of the business, with projects including: Lead roles in major feature films, (The Last of the Mohican’s, Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers, as a chief in John Candy’s comedy Wagons East and as the ghost of Jim Thorpe in Wind Runner); Disney’s third highest ever selling video (Pocahontas) in which he was the voice of Pocahontas’ father, a television documentary for HBO (Paha Sapa), (Indian Father and Son) a pilot he created; Two albums of protest music with lyrics he wrote (Electric Warrior and The Radical). On the technological side, he stars in a CD-ROM (Under A Killing Moon) and has created his own website www.russellmeans.com . The website features information regarding the A.I.M. club, his recordings via the American Indian Music Company, his art, book, current events, biography and upcoming appearances and direct e-mail to Russell.
Born on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation in 1939, Russell Means is the eldest son of Hank Means, an Oglala Sioux, and Theodora (Feather) Means, a full-blooded Yankton Sioux. Shortly after the outbreak of WWII, his family moved to California, where he graduated from San Leandro High in 1958 and continued his formal education at Oakland City College and Arizona State. Russell’s commitment to uplift the plight of his people escalated when he served as director of Cleveland’s American Indian Center. It was there he met Dennis Banks, co-founder of the American Indian Movement, and embarked upon a relationship that would rocket them both into national prominence. During this period, Russell staged numerous events designed to bring dignity to the American Indian. His most famous act of defiance, however, occurred at Wounded Knee on February 27, 1973. Responding to the numerous murders perpetrated by puppet tribal governments and the extreme conditions of oppression, the takeover at Wounded Knee revisited the sight of the American Indian massacre at the hands of U.S. soldiers in 1890. Ever vigilant for his cause, Russell has been lauded by the international community for his tireless efforts.
Russell splits his time between San Jose, NM, his ranch on the Pine Ridge Sioux Indian reservation, Porcupine, SD and his office in Santa Monica, CA. He takes pride in having instituted programs for the betterment of his people: notable, the Porcupine Health Clinic (the only non government funded clinic in Indian Country) and KILI radio, the first Indian owned radio station. Today, one of his principle goals is the establishment of a “Total Immersion School”, which is based on a concept created by the Maori people of New Zealand, where children are immersed in the language, culture, science, music and storytelling of their own people. Russell will adapt this total immersion concept to the Indian way of life and philosophy which is taught from a perspective that will nurture a new generation of proud children educated in the context of their own heritage. Russell Means has devoted his life to eliminating racism of any kind, and in so doing he leaves a historical imprint as the most revolutionary Indian leader of the late twentieth century.
An inspirational visionary, Russell Means remains one of the most magnetic voices in America today. Whether leading a protest, fighting for constitutional rights, starring in a motion picture, or performing his “rap-ajo” music, the message he delivers is consistent with the philosophy he lives by, which states: The Universe, which controls all life, has a female and male balance that prevalent throughout our Sacred Grandmother, the Earth.This balance has to be acknowledged and become the determining factor in all of one’s decisions, be they spiritual, social, healthful, educational or economical. Once the balance has become an integral part of one’s life, all planning, research, direct action and follow-up becomes a matter of course. The goals that were targeted become a reality on a consistent basis. Good things happen to good People; remember time is on your side.

Biography of Russell Means:
Born on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in 1939, Russell Means has dedicated his life to American Indian activism and constitutional rights for over three decades. He is widely regarded as the most influential Indian activist and political leader of the later part of the twentieth and into the twenty – first century. A few of the many “first” and accomplishments which can be attributed to Russell Means include the following:
Russell Means is also a pedofile…linage Crow, White & Dakota, not Lakota blood at all. Is a womanizer & abuser, rapist, murderer, spin doctor, propagandist, has committed treason, not taken care of his children, has shook down volunteers who were collecting donations for AIM, saying he & Dennis Banks would kill them if they did not turn over all the donation monies.
Means raped a mans 17 year old daughter while Sun Dancing next to him, at Frank Fools Crows arbor in 1972 in the gym of her Catholic Girls school, where she had gotten AIM lodging on the Trail of Broken Treaties. 18 AIM members were in the same area where she was raped, but did nothing to stop him, Means was acting long before he ever reached Hollyweird!
Means was pardoned by Gov. Jalakow, because Means-AIM got rid of the young Lakota girl who was raped by him when he was her guardian, & he was a young attorney, before becoming Govenor of South Dakota… her name was Juanita Little Deer. Whos case for rape against the young attorney was nearing, she was hit by a car along side of the road & said to be drunk. The pardon was so Means could write his book, Where Whitemen Fear to Tread…there isnt any Lakota total immersion school, & the rest of his bio is more lies & propaganda to hide his deviant behavior. Has been in rehab numerous times for abusing women & himself…
This man should be in prison, but when youve got the goods on the Gov, Senator & Senators son of South Dakota…that just isnt going to happen just yet…

Further Indictments for American Indian Movement Voiced

Interest In Further American Indian Movement Hiarchy & Members Indictments For Murder Voiced

Thank-you Indian Country Today for the ability to share this vital information to the unknowing public about the exploits of the American Indian Movement.
Annie Mae Pictou AquashArticles related to Aquash murder case 2007-2011
Vermillion, South Dakota (AP/ICC) 10-07
Madonna Thunder Hawk, a veteran leader of major events during the Red Power movement in the 1970s, is scheduled to speak at the University of South Dakota on Oct. 18.
Known as Madonna Gilbert in the ‘70s, she remains an activist and organizer with experience in American Indian rights protection, cultural preservation, economic development, environmental justice and Lakota treaty rights advocacy, USD said in a release.
Thunder Hawk has also emerged in recent years as one of many persons of interest to federal investigators looking into the 1975 execution style slaying of Canadian Micmac Annie Mae Pictou-Aquash by members of the American Indian Movement.Thunder Hawk was allegedly part of the team of AIM members who interrogated Aquash in Rapid City, South Dakota hours before her death. AIM leaders Vernon and Clyde Bellecourt, and Dennis Banks came to believe Aquash was working for the FBI in some capacity according to court witness testimony and had Leonard Peltier interrogate her at gunpoint in June of 1975.
ThunderHawk is first cousin of AIM leader Russell Means, who is related to no fewer than eight mid level AIM members who are part of the federal conspiracy investigation, including twin brothers Ted and William (Kills) Means and their aunt Theda Nelson-Clark.
In addition, Thunder Hawk also oversaw the AIM clinic at Wounded Knee South Dakota during the AIM occupation of the village in 1973.
There a wounded black activist and disciple of Martin Luther King, Perry Ray Robinson Jr., was brought after he was shot in the knee by AIM security members around April 25, 1973 for refusing to participate in a firefight with federal authorities, disrespecting Leonard Crow Dog and being accused of working as an FBI spy according to AIM members who were in Wounded Knee at the time or are familiar with the investigation.
Robinson was alleged to have been brought to the clinic by AIM security overseen by AIM member Carter Camp and seen by several participants and medics at the clinic before allegedly passing away while there. He was later buried by Christ (Chris/Cris) Westerman (according to Dennis Banks) inside AIM Wounded Knee perimeters where his remains have yet to be recovered and repatriated to the family.
