Publishing Censored News

The uncensored online news revolution

It has been hard to keep up with all the censored news lately, there's so much of it. It is good to see the Mohawk women speaking out, as Canada emerges as a forerunner in the violations of human rights and attacks on Indigenous Peoples. Four countries -- Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Australia -- failed to vote in favor of the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. After the adoption of the Declaration, New Zealand police launched a brutal attack on the Maori leaders of the sovereignty movement. The abuses of Indigenous Peoples in all four countries span the centuries. In Australia, children were stolen, raped and disappeared. In Canada and the United States, children were tortured, raped and murdered in Canada's residential schools and U.S. boarding schools.
But the brutality is not restricted to history. Today, Native people are ticketed by police and sent to prison at far greater rates than non-Natives for the same offenses. The prisons are filled with Native youths.
The US military deploys schemes of manipulation and false patriotism, relying on the high rates of unemployment and lack of opportunities in this racist society, to send Native youths to their deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are deemed expendables by the US government, just as Indigenous lands are deemed "sacrifice zones" for coal mining, power plants, oil and gas drilling and toxic and nuclear dumping. This is the reason for publishing Censored News.
