The super rich corporate cartel has purchased Congress, as statistics demonstrate the class-divide of the rich 1% and the 99% of the rest of America, it is only getting worse. It is a feudal system America is sinking into due to the political power purchased by corporate lobbyists and billionaires who desire to be trillionaires. The corporate despoilers of the earth bought their license from government regulators-Congress-who pull the teeth of environmental laws and create loophole crawlers. The Indians are the original victims of corporate-Congress conspiracy to defraud Indian property and rob Indian money, and resources with impunity. I have brought our land claims to Congress in 1980, 2001, 2005, and 2007, and there they sit on the shelf of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. The Secretary of the Interior and the Attorney General are defendants who lost a federal court class action suit in which the judge ordered the federal officials to either litigate Indian claims or send the claims to Congress for legislative resolution [restoring Indian titles] but President Reagan defied 250 years of settled Indian law in treaty guarantees to the Indian people in the 1790 Indian Trade and Non-Intercourse Act by President George Washington; creating tribal sovereignty and protection from states and speculators in exchange for Indian land cessions that became the United States. George Washington was afraid the principles contained in the Constitution would become a sordid real estate deal. The social contract white Americans hold with their government for fair dealing and equal opportunity has been usurped by corporate lobbyists. The Blackfeet people have been robbed of 529,000 acres of land and oil wells by the railroad and big-meat trusts who control political systems down to the county and city levels of governance. Nothing is too small to attract the corporate giants as the burritos sold by independent gas station operators was taken by Exxon etc. and turned into a convenience store. Government investigations document the robbery of Indian land and resources, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs "confessed" complicity in the Indian land frauds before a Senate Indian Committee hearing in 1979. It is no different outcome for American citizens who own a piece of property the Walton kids desire for a Walmart location, that corner property can be condemned by the city council. Yet, the rich man's political party-Republicans-see nothing wrong in cutting taxes for the rich and cutting welfare for the poor. I have been impoverished although I own land with a river running through it, clean water, the most valuable commodity on earth, but I cannot sell my water to a global market due to federal Indian policy. Isn't that restraint of trade? Soviet in nature? In America! Reagan was accused of economic apartheid in America by South Africa, so he punished the Indians by cutting Indian treaty funds by 40% to intimidate Indian protests of land frauds, causing many deaths on Indian reservations across America. I will die trying for justice in America. I talked with an Assistant United States Attorney for Montana and was told that, yes, they were aware of the Indian land frauds, but no! They have no plans to sue the crooks or send our claims to Congress in 2014 or ever for that matter, after all they would have to sue themselves on behalf of the Indian wards of the government; exposing to the world the disgrace of apartheid in America.
