President Nixon
sent the F.B.I. and U.S.
Marshals Service to the reservation to beat the shit out of the Indian
protesters and over 200 Indians were murdered in two years of federal, state
and county government occupation of the Pine Ridge reservation; the deaths including
old Indian people, women and children as usual. You might say Dick Nixon had a
“streak of cruelty” like most Republican politicians of that era in suppressing
Indian protests of government oppression. American patriotism was his excuse
for the killings. Hyper-patriotism is now a missile aimed at civil rights of
all Americans.
President Reagan “trickles down”
Indian water rights
Corporate
totalitarianism on the Indian reservations was so obvious that Soviet leaders
and White apartheid South African leaders pointed to the Indian reservations as
an impoverished people in the richest nation in the world. The Indian
reservations resembled the Soviet Union and South
Africa more than “America .” President Reagan’s
economic policy “Reaganomics” is pissing on the poor and making the
rich-richer.
