International Disgrace...

The ongoing genocide of Native Human Beings is highlighted in American OUTRAGE. The U.$. government- BY the corporations, FOR the corporations- continues to Kill and Steal from Natives to this day, even going so far as to charge them with "trespassing" on their own land. When they complain, when their herds of horses "grazing on Federal lands" are fenced in and left to starve to death, the U.$. government prepares to "test" another Atomic Bomb on their land in retaliation. The discovery of gold on Native land resulted in the land being rendered uninhabitable by the use of arsenic (used to sift the gold from the land). I've heard that, at one time, there were as many as 50 million Natives in this company when the first invasion(s) began; there are now, we're told, only 250,000 Natives left. Even the Nazis weren't THAT efficient at genocide.
