#ApacheStronghold -- Supreme Court Again Declines to Protect Sacred #OakFlat

By Apache Stronghold, via @bsnorrell.blogspot.com, Oct. 6, 2025

Apache Stronghold - Supreme Court update

"This morning, we received word the Supreme Court has decided not to reconsider our case. While this decision is deeply disappointing, the fight to protect Oak Flat is far from over.
We will continue pressing our case in the lower courts. In addition to our case, three other cases are also seeking to protect Oak Flat, and the Ninth Circuit will hear oral argument in those cases on
January 7, 2026. We’ll also keep urging Congress, the President, and federal agencies to stop the destruction of Oak Flat and protect our ancestral sacred land.

Oak Flat deserves the same respect and protection this country has long given to other places of worship.

Wendsler Nosie Sr. responding to the Supreme Court result, 'First, thank you everyone for all the hard work. You have been a blessing to us all in our country. Most importantly deep within us we
knew, but now we definitely witness the truth of this country, by the Supreme Court taking no action. What is evil created the unfairness, not just to us human beings but to all of God’s creations. When this country was founded, humans with the heart of #greed worked to mute the voice of the Creator. By this undertaking, we now live with a third entity, who was created to take and destroy every blessed
gift God gave us through our #MotherEarth. We know this evil as #Corporations, which comes from
#capitalism which #colonizes people. We must defend what is spiritual, holy and God’s greatest gift to us all, our Mother. Today is a new day for me as I now take the blessings from Usen (God), to walk
the footsteps of the purpose I was blessed with and no longer be a captive.'

America has shown us the government’s true intentions, we are unheard and ignored once again. Our judicial system’s voice is muted by capitalism, the ultimate destruction of Mother Earth has been given permission as if they control her, she supplies our lives not the reverse. Such a sad reality.

We call on all people to pray, to raise their voices, and to join us in defending Mother Earth. Thank you for standing with us."

#Flotilla Members Arrive in Turkey, Describe #Israel's Abuse of #GretaThunberg

by #CensoredNews , October 4, 2025

"Sunday morning update:

The Global Sumud Flotilla said 29 more participants were released today, Sunday, and flown to Spain, according to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The released activists include citizens of Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. So far, Greta Thunberg has not been released.

Flotilla members arriving in Turkey yesterday said they drank water from the toilet, women were imprisoned in dog cages, and they were woke up at night by snipers and German Shepherds, with
Israelis screaming, "We're going to shoot you." Their medicines were thrown away, Flotilla participants said in Istanbul upon arrival.

Greta Thunberg was treated the worst, and dragged by hair and abused. She remains in the violent Ktzi'ot prison in the Negev desert in Israel. Nelson Mandela's grandson is also imprisoned.

The first group of 137 from the Global Sumud Flotilla arrived in Turkey yesterday, and were greeted with bouquets of flowers in Instabul, most were Turkish and Malaysian. There were 470 illegally arrested in international waters. Only one U.S. citizen was released. Families Greta Thunberg, who came to Standing Rock in 2019 to support Water Protectors, is shown here
detained by Israel after being abducted in international waters on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla. Swedish officials said she is dehydrated from the lack of water and food in prison. Arriving in Turkey now, Turkish activists describe the brutal abuse of Greta by Israel.

Windfield Beaver of California arrived in Turkey and described Israel's abuse of Greta Thunberg, Reuters reports.

Ayçin Kantoglu said the women were kept in a dog shelter, denied food for three days, forced to drink toilet water, and that Greta was "beaten, had an Israeli flag tied to her back, and was paraded around
the room with her hands tied behind her back."

"The Israelis tormented Greta Thunberg, dragged her on the ground, and made her kiss the Israeli flag," said Turkish journalist and #SumudFlotilla activist Ersin Celik arriving in Turkey now.

"They wanted to make an example."
Greta Thunberg, who came to #StandingRock to support Water Protectors in 2019, was shackled and treated brutally.

Malaysian activist Hajwani Helmi said, “It was unbearable — they treated us like animals,” said Helmi, adding that detainees were denied food, clean water, and medicine throughout their detention.
A 70-year-old Scottish woman, arriving in Turkey with a broken leg, said she was given no food or water in prison, and the guard slammed a metal door on her broken leg.

"That prison was awful," said Margaret Pacetta from Glasgow upon arrival at the airport in Turkey.

Another woman arriving in Turkey said mothers had written the names of their children in blood on the prison walls.

"They locked us in animal cages."
"Walls had writings in blood in Arabic 'drink from the toilet."
"We were starved for 40 hrs."

The fight in D.C. over who, if anyone, has existing authority to regulate small hobby #Drones, took a strange turn. Since they've existed the #FAA has built a bad reputation, with overreach that is notorious in Washington. Throughout the arguing the #USCongress has passed laws clarifying that the F.A.A. never had authority over hobby drones and never will, since they're not interstate passenger aircraft, don't commonly fly high enough to get in the way, and are less dangerous than an average bird. In Congress' eyes #Drone laws are a petty local/state thing. Now someone's called in a bunch of fake threats around a #Chicago airport, and the arguing has started again.

#CreeDene #MskwaasinAgnew Onboard #FreedomFlotilla 'Letter on the Siege on
#Gaza'

#CensoredNews, September 21, 2025

" 'This #WarriorFlag was actually at #StandingRock,' said Mskwaasin Agnew, Cree Dene on the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza today. This flag also flew at the Wet'suwet'en's Gidimt'en Checkpoint. The
women also brought an #AnishinaabeFlag that flew at 1492 Land Back Lane at Six Nations. Remembering the photos of the Warrior flag in #Jabalia in Gaza, she said, 'This is a symbol of Global #IndigenousSolidarity, and Global Indigenous Solidarity means that none of us are free until all of us are free.' Agnew said, 'I have joined the #FreedomFlotillaCoalition to break the siege on Gaza with Dr. #SuzanneShoush and fellow comrades from Turtle Island. Break the siege on Gaza NOW! Solidarity to the global #IndigenousResistance."

#WhiteMesaUte Invite Public to Join #SpiritualWalk to Protest #UraniumMill, Oct. 4, 2025

by #CensoredNews, September 20, 2025

Excerpt: "The rally and spiritual walk is to protect the White Mesa Ute Community’s health, water, air, land, culture, and sacred sites from the nearby #EnergyFuels uranium mill and show community opposition to the mill operating as an international dumping ground for radioactive waste from North America, Japan, and Europe. All relatives and allies welcome.

"The rally on Saturday, October 4, 2025, 11 a.m. MDT will be followed by a spiritual walk to the Energy Fuels uranium mill, about five miles on relatively flat pavement. Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. Limited number of vehicle seats available for elders and those not able to walk the whole way.

"The White Mesa Ute Community Center in White Mesa, Utah, is just south of Blanding, Utah off Highway 191. The community center is on the west side of the highway. Turn west at the gas station
and go one block south.

"The Ute Mountain Ute Community of White Mesa and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe are concerned about #contamination from the nearby #UraniumMill and desecration of sacred sites.

"The uranium mill, owned by Energy Fuels Resources, is also where uranium ore from controversial #UraniumMines, including #PinyonPlain Mine, near the #GrandCanyon, is sent for processing; #NativeAmerican tribes, including the #HavasupaiTribe, strongly oppose that mine. As far away as #Madagascar, #IndigenousPeople strongly oppose Energy Fuels’ operations. The October 4 protest and walk are sponsored by the #WhiteMesaConcernedCommunity and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe."

BREAKING! #GazaAidFlotilla surrounded by explosions, hit with chemicals, as it nears #Gaza

#Indigenous women from the Amazon and throughout the south are aboard the #flotilla. "We will always defend our joy -- but that does not mean that we do not organize our rage." The colonizers crossed the sea to exploit them, and now they are crossing the sea to the sacred land of Palestine. "We survived the genocide of our original people," an Indigenous woman said. Their laughter and hope, songs and joy, move them forward.

By #CensoredNews, Sept. 24, 2025

"The Global Sumud Flotilla said the flotilla was surrounded by explosions, and hit with chemicals, as the flotilla of fifty ships is off the shore of Crete and nearing Gaza with humanitarian aid.
"Explosions, unidentified drones and communications jamming. We are witnessing these psychological operations firsthand, right now, but we will not be intimidated," the Flotilla said during the attacks between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. local time.

The lengths to which Israel and its allies will go to prolong the horrors of starvation and Genocide in Gaza are sickening. But our resolve is stronger than ever. These tactics will not deter us from our mission to deliver aid to Gaza and break the illegal siege. Every attempt to intimidate us only strengthens our commitment.

" 'We will not be silenced. We will continue to sail.'

"Australian's boat #LunaBark hit with explosives

" 'We are under attack.'

" 'My boat Luna Bark was hit with explosives, directly above our heads. The boat is damaged but other than some hearing loss, everyone onboard is ok and determined to carry on.

"12 other boats have been attacked with explosives dropped from drones. The #drones are still circling and we need you to act now.

"Raise the alarm to protect our peaceful humanitarian mission aiming break open Israel’s concentration camp and create a humanitarian corridor between the world and millions of people being forcibly starved to death in Gaza.

"We are a civilian mission acting in accordance with International Law. Our purpose is peaceful and in line with the recommendations of the world’s highest court, the International Court of Justice, human rights organisations across the globe, and basic human decency. #Israel’s impunity must end. The #genocide and mass forced #starvation must end.

"The brutal occupation and apartheid must end. Peace, justice and equality for all from the river to the sea. Act now to protect the @globalsumudflotilla ; help us carry on our solidarity mission to Palestine. But don’t let them distract you from Gaza. All eyes on Gaza, always."

#LawEnforcement's #SecretSurveillance of Defenders at #ThackerPass, Peehee Mu'huh

#LithiumAmericas of Canada plans huge man camp in Winnemucca

By @bsnorrell.blogspot.com , #CensoredNews, Updated Aug. 12, 2025

"The #BIA and #BLM were part of 10 agencies in a joint #terrorism task force stalking defenders of Peehee Mu-huh, Thacker Pass, new documents reveal. The surveillance intensified when #MyronDewey supported. The Nevada Sheriff said there could be 'another #StandingRock,' and called in a 'spin master' to discredit #WaterProtectors, as he had done at Standing Rock.

"#ProPublica and #NevadaIndependent expose the surveillance. Censored News tracks back on the timeline. Interior Sec. #DebHaaland's BIA was part of the joint terrorism task force targeting the defenders of Peehee Mu-huh."

Original story:
THACKER PASS, Nevada -- "While descendants of the survivors of the massacre of Paiutes at #PeeheeMuhuh struggled to protect the sacred remains from the digging of a lithium mine, owned by Lithium Americas on Canada -- law enforcement had a spider web of surveillance. The law enforcement surveillance of defenders of Peehee Mu'huh, Thacker Pass, began before
Myron Dewey was killed, and continued afterwards.

:ProPublica and Nevada Independent expose the spy trail of law enforcement and private security of Lithium Americas. The surveillance web of 10 agencies included the BIA, and a counter-terrorism task force.

"During a meeting in April of 2021, the sheriff met with a spinmaster who linked the resistance to Standing Rock. This was six months before Myron Dewey was killed when a truck driven by a mining
engineer [an employee of #LithiumAmericas] hit Myron head on.

"Myron was well known for his reporting and drone coverage at Standing Rock 2016--2017. Myron was livestreaming the day before he was killed near his home in #YombaNevada, Sept. 26, 2021. Myron was fighting the #USMilitary's expansion of the bombing range on his #Paiute homeland."

"We are all #Palestinians" -- #Zapatistas Resistances and Rebellion Underway in
#Chiapas

#Indigenous leaders and international delegates meet “to resolve and organise against #capitalism and all pyramids”

by Mateo Sgambati, Freedom News, August 4, 2025 (via #CensoredNews)

"The gathering is being hosted in Chiapas by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (#EZLN), aiming “to reach an agreement on what, how, where, and why” of demolishing capitalism and all hierarchical systems. The gathering opened over the weekend with a
marching display where all carried Palestinian flags.

" 'We are all Palestinian children,' said Subcomandante Insurgente Moisés at the opening of the meeting. 'Today, in one of the small parts of this land, the capitalist system is committing #genocide against the Palestinian people. We cannot forget, we cannot set aside'.

"In the statement ahead of the gathering, Zapatista speaker El Capitan (aka Marcos) had referred to 'what it means to be born, grow up, live, and struggle as #IndigenousPeople in a geography where
being ‘other’ is a cause of contempt, #exploitation, #repression, and #dispossession. ‘To be’ where ‘not to
be’ is the norm and and the stigma for those who are different'.The inauguration was done by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) with a deployment of militia and a speech by the insurgent Sub-Commander Moises."

K'É Infoshop: #Dine' #Palestinian Liberation Rally

#Palestinians and Dine' are Bound in a Common Struggle

Article by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, August 3, 2025

WINDOW ROCK, #NavajoNation -- " 'We share this common struggle with Palestine!' a Dine' voice rang out during today's K'É Infoshop: Dine' Palestinian Liberation Rally.

"'Are our children not sacred anymore?'

" 'Free! Free! Palestine!' sounds out the voices of Dine' now in solidarity with Palestine. 'Children are being bombed.' Dine' voices called out, speaking out for Dine' children and the future. They pointed out the U.S. government's livestock reduction on the Navajo Nation, and the seizure of Navajo resources.

" 'Think about these women and children, think about what they did to us,' a Dine' voice rang out in the Navajo Nation capitol of #WindowRock. Speaking out for love and freedom, she said despite the injustices there is hope.

" 'We were taught to think strong,' she said, raising her voice for the children in Palestine being bombed and poisoned, children without water, children without mothers and fathers. Members of the community are gathered in solidarity with Gaza at the corner of Indian Rt 12 and Hwy 264 in Window Rock today, on August 3, and will gather again on August 10, at 11 a.m.

"K'É Infoshop said, 'Every rally and protest that we organize is intended to help people forge new connections and bond over shared values. In coming together, we demonstrate to the wider public
that there are many among us who want to remain #Diné by continuing to #resist #USImperialism until we are truly free. Outraged by the genocide in #Gaza? Then show up and make your voice heard."

The end of an era... “First Voices Radio’s” Final Broadcast will be Sunday, July 6, 2025

Internationally-syndicated weekly all-Native hosted and all-Native produced radio program has been on the air for 33 years

By Liz Hill, First Voices Radio, via #CensoredNews

STONE RIDGE, New York -- July 3, 2025 — " 'First Voices Radio' will have its final broadcast on Sunday, July 6, 2025. The program, which was founded in 1992 by #TiokasinGhosthorse (#CheyenneRiverLakota) has explored global topics and issues of critical importance to the preservation and protection of #MotherEarth presented in the voices and from the perspective of the original peoples of the world.

" 'First Voices Radio' has been airing weekly for the past 33 years and has most recently been heard on Sundays from 7 to 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Radio Kingston #WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM in Kingston, New York. The final episode will air on Radio Kingston and will stream live at https://radiokingston.org/.

" 'First Voices Radio' — 'formerly First Voices Indigenous Radio' — was the first Indigenous radio program in the northeastern U.S. With more than 1 million annual online hits to its website, the program has become known for bringing to the airwaves the experiences, perspectives and struggles of Indigenous peoples worldwide whose exclusion from mainstream, progressive and alternative

#SanCarlosApache Tribe welcomes Federal Court ruling delaying trade of sacred Oak Flat to Chinese-backed #ResolutionCopper

By San Carlos Apache Tribe, Censored News, June 9, 2025

#SanCarlosApacheNation, #Arizona — "The San Carlos Apache Tribe welcomes Friday’s federal court ruling preventing the Trump Administration from trading sacred Oak Flat to Chinese-backed Resolution #CopperMining no sooner than 60 days after the government releases an environmental report expected to be published later this month.

"The #Trump Administration had indicated that it intended to trade 2,422 acres of #TontoNationalForest 70 miles east of #PhoenixAZ that includes Oak Flat to Resolution Copper immediately upon publication of the mine’s updated environmental report.

U.S. District Court Judge Dominic W. Lanza’s order 'preclude(s) the United States Forest Service from proceeding with the challenged land exchange until 60 days after the issuance of the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which is anticipated to be issued on June 16.'

" 'We are grateful that Judge Lanza has provided us an opportunity to be heard,' said San Carlos Apache Tribe Chairman Terry Rambler. 'The two-month window provides the Tribe an opportunity to file an amended lawsuit challenging the legality of the pending environmental report and request an injunction to stop the land exchange until the merits of our case are settled.'

"The Oak Flat land transfer was mandated by a last-minute amendment to the FY2015 #NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct that was added by the late Arizona Senator #JohnMcCain and former Arizona Senator #JeffFlake. The land transfer provision, which failed to pass Congress in previous years, avoided the normal course of business and was not debated before it was added to the mustsign [#NDAA] defense spending bill that was signed into law by President Barack #Obama.

" 'The bill that authorized the land exchange is not in the best interest of the American people, Arizona or the San Carlos Apache Tribe,' Chairman Rambler stated. 'We have filed this lawsuit because of our concerns of the mine’s massive use of groundwater, which will be devastating for both Arizona
and eventually the Tribe. We are also deeply concerned about the environmental destruction and the obliteration of Oak Flat will have on Apache culture and religion.'

"Resolution plans to collapse Oak Flat, known as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel in Apache, into a two-mile wide, 1,100-foot-deep crater. Chi’chil Biłdagoteel is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a Traditional Cultural Place.

"Resolution Copper is owned by Melbourne-based #BHP (45%) and London-based #RioTinto (55%), the two largest mining companies in the world. The Chinese state-owned Aluminum Corporation of China, which spearheads China’s acquisition of strategic minerals worldwide, is Rio Tinto’s single largest investor with a 14.6% stake. Both BHP and Rio Tinto rely on China for the majority of their revenue.

" 'We fully expect Resolution’s copper to be exported to China, which poses a national security threat,' Chairman Rambler said. “The United States already exports 30 percent of the copper produced by U.S. mines because of a lack of copper smelting capacity.

"'The Trump Administration’s Oak Flat appraisal concludes that Resolution’s copper will be exported to southeast Asia,' Chairman Rambler added. 'It’s clearly in the best interest of the United States to withhold publication of the Resolution environmental report at least until there is a change in the ownership of this project to companies that are not reliant on China for more than half their business.'
