Lies, Liars and UnHypocrisy, Lies and Censorship?

David Smith | 31.05.2005 15:40 | Analysis | Education | Social Struggles | London

Lies, Liars and Unsubstantiated opinions are welcome here. Well, gee sign me up... NOT!

What do you do when lies are revered and the truth is nothing more than recycled paper in a bin? I dunno, it is frustrating to bring up an issue and to be told that this will give a community a black eye... well maybe if people stand up and do the right thing it may not be. I suffered indignations in the past and indeed at the hands of people who ought to know better being subjugated under a Canadian brand of COLONIALISM. I was forced to leave a specific reserve on a days notice, treated like a criminal and hated for standing up for the right reasons. I am not imagining this 'cause it happened to me in March of this year, I had to hitchhike back to Winnipeg, Manitoba. I was humiliated and surprised that people who are supposed to be spiritually intuned to the EARTH and her peoples would allow and align themselves with those who did this to me. I thought a group in Winnipeg champion the truth as they had been so outspoken in the past but I am not an Indigenous Person... so my opinions do not count! I was hurt by the representatives of this specific community who snubbed me at this past EARTH DAY, treated me like I was the criminal, molestor and or killer. I have written several responses to the group in Winnipeg... yet to have a satisfactory response. I know that another person who has stood up and told the truth... one Kevin Annett was also labelled a heretic by certain Indigenous people not knowing him or his plight since taking on the Anglican, Catholic and United Churches of Canada. This is another despicable action that this specific group has been told to believe by other people's opinions. I am deeply troubled by this trend... I have spoken out against this group's reliance on LIES, LIARS and belief in PROPAGANDA. I have since left this group 'cause the lies have put BLOOD on my hands and body... I will not have someone else's on me no matter how ugly the truth is. One wonders how far people and their insanity will go when people lose their rights as people... I am speaking about Children's Rights! If it doesn't look good on Native People or whomever abuses their kids and relatives... so what! Abuse is Abuse is Abuse no matter who is holding the ROLLING PIN, BASEBALL BAT, KNIFE or GUN... and that's what children face sometimes everyday, on this specific reserve.

I have stood up and said the truth... if people want to attack me, so be it! One must remember that they are not speaking the truth... just their opinions and right now some opinions are sinking.
