Buffalohair: A Little Girl and the Olympics
A Little Girl and the Olympics
Nhkum Hkawn Din was a 15 year old school girl who lived in the village of Nam Sai, Bhamo District, Kachin State. She lived with her family and attended school. Fortunately for her and her family they did not suffer the direct effects of Cyclone Nargis since they live in the northern region of Burma. This area was under the control of the Burmese Army's Light Infantry Battalion No. 437 through a series of check points. Like other “ethnic’ regions, they were under constant surveillance by the military of Than Shwe’s paranoid regime.
On the day of July 27th Hkawn Din left home with rice for her brother who was working in the paddy fields. It was business as usual since she’s done this chore many times in the past. As the day came to pass, her brother returned from work. Only after he queried about the whereabouts of his sister did the family become aware Hkawn Din was missing. Frantically the family searched in vein until enlisting the assistance of the local authorities and a three day search ensued.
On the third day not far from a military check point they found little Hkawn Din’s cloths. Upon further investigation searchers found her slippers and the basket she was carrying to her brother. Then after further extensive searching they discovered the naked body of the innocent school girl. She had been gang rapped, had her eyes cut out probably when her face was grotesquely disfigured and cut from the skull. She had been stabbed numerous times then finally she mercifully had her skull crushed to end her suffering. After she was dead, her body was subjected to many more puncture wounds in a statement of pure hatred for her and the Kachin People.
Local witnesses saw Burmese soldiers following Hkawn Din as she walked to the paddy. Other witnesses saw soldiers leaving the area where her body was later discovered. And yet other witnesses knew the name of at least one of the three suspects, Corporal Aye Thein of the Burmese Army Light Infantry Battalion NO. 437.
Rape is commonly used as a weapon against the ethnic populations of Burma with thousands of cases reported to ambivalent authorities. According to Burma Campaign UK, in 2007 4 school girls who were gang rapped by government troops were charged with prostitution in a feeble attempt to legitimize the soldiers conduct.
Do to the heinous nature of this crime, locals as well as the junta’s own Union Solidarity Development Association (USDA), the Myanmar Women's Affairs Federation (MWAF) in Momauk (N’mawk) and her State High School of Momauk has asked for a local level inquiry into the gang rape and murder of Nhkum Hkawn Din, according to Kachin News.
But alas even with the support of the USDA and the MWAF this case falls on deaf ears since there are actually no rights for the ethnic minorities within the prison state of Burma. Ultimately all ethnic minorities will be exterminated, their histories removed from the libraries. All that will remain will be the artifacts they left behind, curiosities of a forgone era. All financed inadvertently by those who continue to buy from corporations who support Than Shwe’s murderous regime.
Imagine how her final moments of life were. Chances she was inhaling her own blood whole bayonets chiseled away at her face and skin, already in agony because her eyes were plucked out. Her body already aching from the numerous puncture wounds she already sustained. As she finally drifted into death the last thing she heard was the soldiers laughing as they crushed her head.
So what does this have to do with the Olympic Games in Beijing? Everything I might add fore it’s under China’s watch this atrocity had occurred. This random act of savagery is happening in Darfur and other places within China’s area of influence. And as we spend our dollar on Olympic nomenclature we are inadvertently assisting China’s war on ethnic minorities who stand in their way world wide. So when you purchase that Olympic coffee mug for Uncle Murray from Yonkers. Just remember little Hkawn Din’s mutilated body and the regimes that are financed part and parcel by China. In essence you are bank rolling eugenics, wholesale rape and murder.

Buffalohair:Government fraud and the Indian Trust Debacle
Buffalohair:Government fraud and the Indian Trust Debacle
Posted: Mon Aug 11, 2008 5:25 am Post subject:
Government fraud and the Indian Trust Debacle
Since the Indian Trust was first imposed in 1887 the systematic process of eliminating documents, lineage and evidence had begun by industrial interest and the government as a whole. History books blatantly boasted of how unscrupulous railroad officials tampered with documents giving them 50 miles on either side of the railroad right of way rather than the 50 feet in essence robbing land from trusting Native leaders.
Since time immemorial I remember the story of the old school house that contained volumes of documents owning up to lineage, ownership and agreements with the US Government. Treaties, business agreements and ultimately the money itself had disappeared over the years along with the birth right of untold thousands whose records were destroyed. With out the federal government to enforce the agreements imposed by the 1887 Indian Trust Agreement billions of dollars in negotiated and agreed terms of reimbursement have gone unrecognized and unpaid. Fact is, in recent years yet another government building containing more documents related to this and other Native concerns went up in smoke destroying even more priceless documentation. What a coincidence eh.
Clearly the government and industry had a free for all during the first 100 years of this Indian Trust Disaster. When Elouise Cobell (Black Foot Nation) first filed the class action suite 11 years ago the government had already admitted to the wholesale mismanagement of the funds that were conservatively estimated to be $46 BILLION dollars. Judge Royce Lamberth was assigned the case and over time he proved to be a champion of the letter of the law. After growing impatient with government excuses and failure to address issues pertaining to the case and down right fraud he was quoted as saying about the governments conduct during the case;
"A shocking pattern of deception. I have never seen more egregious conduct by the federal government."
In July 2005 Lamberth wrote that the Department of Interior was;
"a dinosaur--the morally and culturally oblivious hand-me-down of a disgracefully racist and imperialist government that should have been buried a century ago,"
The Justice Department promptly had him removed. Judge James Robertson took over the case in 2007. Though siding with the plaintiffs he questioned the methodology of calculating the mismanaged funds that exceeded $40 billions dollars. Rather, he sided with industry and the government in calculating the debt owed and awarded $455 million bucks in spite of an earlier government offer of $7 billion dollars to settle the case. In short, the series of fires dating back from the old school house to a massive government building fire in recent years proved fruitful in the government’s commission of fraud. Justice was not served and the beat goes on.
For the complete story and documentation on this case I urge you to log onto site I have provided and read the complete transcript. It is very compelling to see how justice works when Indigenous people are concerned. http://www.indiantrust.com/ Funny how 120 years of industries theft of natural resources including coal, gold, oil and other mineral resources have only accumulated a paltry $455 g’s. The stolen resources built a nation while leaving trusting business partners penniless and living in third world conditions. Then people have the gall to say Natives are always looking for a handout. If we were given what was promised and agreed to we would not be living in poverty in the first place.
What comes around goes around eh. Now we all are living with a rouge government who caters to the whims of industry. The core tenets of the Constitution are being systematically ignored and relegated to the scrap heap. But nobody is paying attention. We the people of the Indigenous World were just screwed big time proving one thing, “Lies prevail in the kangaroo courts of the federal system”, and you are next.

Buffalohair: Olympic's, Rewarding Genocide. 8.8.08 Free Bur
Olympic's, Rewarding Genocide. 8.8.08 Free Burma!
As the world makes nice The Olympic Games we must remember China has sponsored Than Shwe's systematic genocide of innocent human beings. To top it all off, George W. Bush went to the games in spite of all his rhetoric about Human Rights. The fact he went to the games after talking to survivors of Than Shwe's regime is patently offensive to say the least.
Reward for genocide is the best way to describe China's Olympic games. Mindlessly the world is rewarding China for the wholesale murder of innocent people across Asia and Africa. The statement being made by the corporate world is, "Money is everything". A portion of every dollar made in China's Blood Olympics will finance more genocide in Burma, East Timor and other countries who are murdering innocent tribal people to glean natural resources. Ultimately it's big business that will benefit from death and destruction of tribal land and everyone who spends one single penny on the Olympics' will have blood on their hands.
I wish I was on the Thai border when King George came to visit. I would have asked him why he did not force Chevron to leave Burma like all the other industries did. Why was Chevron exempt from the ban on doing business with the Criminal Than Shwe? How could he have the gall to visit these refugees and give them false hope? It's all too apparent he is on the side of Corporatism and the bottom line. His total disregard for the citizens of the United States has destroyed this nation's economy while he catered to industry and big oil. And now, he has put his stamp of approval on murder and rape.
Take a long hard look at what these games are financing. Above, a mother with her child with his face burned off. A product of ethnic cleansing by a criminal regime financed in part by Chevron Oil and China, partners in death.

8.8.08 Global Burma Day
August 8, 2008 has been designated Global Burma Day. In cities around the world will be commemorating the wholesale murder of 3,000 protesters who were killed protesting the criminal government of Than Shwe in Burma 20 years ago. For me it’s all about awareness. It’s gotten personal for me since I’ve met ex political prisoners and the tribal people such as the Karen who’ve fled for their lives or be exterminated by government thugs. I’ve seen the horror in their eyes as they told their tales of survival. Death and wholesale murder continue in Burma even in the shadow of . . . . Link to more of the story!!

Well, I’ve always said, “Follow the Money” and you will find the perpetrators of corruption and greed. Thanks to Burma Campaign UK I was provided a list of Insurance Corporations funding Than Shwe. I am including the list in it’s entirety for your viewing pleasure. I’ll have something smart ass to say at the end I bet.
Lloyd’s of London.
Lloyd’s, located at the heart of the City of London, describes itself as, “the world’s leading, specialist insurance market.” According to the Burmese Ministry of Finance and Revenue, Lloyd’s provides reinsurance to Myanma Insurance. Lloyd’s syndicates (Lloyd’s terminology for their member companies that sell insurance) have also sold insurance to a regime owned airline. Lloyd’s admitted in April 2008 that some shipping and aviation reinsurance for companies in Burma goes through Lloyd’s. As a consequence of the actions of their syndicates Lloyd’s were placed on our “2005 Dirty List”. Later that year Lloyd’s stated that they were not able to compel their members to end their involvement in Burma and claimed that it would be “against competition law for members to collectively decide not to operate in Burma”.
Pending investigations of these claims Lloyd’s were removed from the Dirty List. Our investigations failed to identify any UK law or act to substantiate Lloyd’s’ claims. Lloyd’s conceded in July 2008 that “Competition Law is not relevant in this case”. When asked to make a statement to their syndicates alerting them to the human rights concerns associated with selling insurance to companies in Burma Lloyd’s refused, instead issuing the following statement on July 23rd 2008: “Unless there are official UN sanctions in place, Lloyd's does not instruct the market where it can and cannot write business. Competition Law is not relevant in this case. However, we do not make public comments on the politics or economic policies of national or international bodies.”

XL
XL is a global insurance company with “local knowledge and expertise in approximately 100 countries.” According to Reinsurance Magazine, the company has provided insurance services to a regimeowned airline. Although we asked the company’s London office to account for the policies of the company they replied in late July 2008 stating we should “contact other XL companies to ascertain their position”. The Burma Campaign UK will be contacting these companies directly.
Hamilton, Bermuda
Tokio Marine and Nichido Fire Insurance Co.

Buffalohair Earth Changes 101
Earth Changes 101
So the world is going to hell in a hand basket you say. And from what it appears, it’s going to hell on many levels. Well duh, gads it does not take a Rhodes Scholar to notice prophecy from all dogmas are coming to pass. Are we really that far beyond stupid? Sadly, I fear this is the case for most of the so called civilized world. The Pied Piper of contemporary wisdom has lead the world astray I fear.
This month I attended our Sundance. Granted, it’s a tribal thing and a very special time for me and my people. It also afforded me the opportunity to speak with my elders. I needed to touch base on observations and events over the last year. “Time of Change” hmmm, I see it in every facet of our existence. Anyway, I needed some insights only my elders could give me.
Enter my uncle, he is a very well versed and articulate elder. He is one of the keepers of our sacred traditional ways. He can answer a question with just a few sentences where others would require volumes. His wisdom, sightfulness, and great knowledge of prophecies keep me in awe. I am forever humbled by his presents though he requires no such thing. Very much a senior, he was at our gathering doing his thing, sharing wisdom, ancient ways and traditions.
Anyway, the morning after our ceremony was completed I was doing trash detail around our camp. It was a very nice day and I was enjoying the coolness of the morning air. Kids were running around laughing and caressing the innocence of their youth. As I panned our site I could not help but notice the Ti Pi’s. Smoke was billowing from the encampments. Cedar intertwined with the pungent aroma of sage wafting in the air. And for a moment in time I was whisked hundreds maybe thousands of years back. It was a time whence we roamed the Earth unencumbered by the necessities of this contemporary era. I embraced the moment and savored its essence. At that moment, a car with Montana plates drove up. It was my uncle.
There was no question this was going to be an educational encounter. Our discussions always lead to the world and the changes that abound us. At first I felt as if I was being a bit over zealous in my perceptions of what I considered “signs”. I’ve had this feeling of urgency for quite some time now. Objectivity was my greatest concern and uncle was just the person I needed to talk to. Funny how it works out that way huh.
I told him about my observations, encounters and the wild news stories I’ve uncovered or exposed since we spoke last. For me, change was everywhere in the news. Does not matter what dogma you reside in, or where you live on the planet, change is everywhere and on many plains. The dynamic of this change is all encompassing. No facet of our existence will be untouched. Though we are scrambling to repair the damage to our planet, we’ve long since past the point of no return. The cycle of cleaning has already begun. Whether it was man’s production of carbon dioxide or nature’s contributions it’s a done deal at this juncture. It was comforting to know I was not misinterpreting what I was witnessing in society and nature. As sad as my observations and visions were I was on the money according to my uncle.
There was one front we both agreed mankind was ill prepared to cope with. For whatever reason, modern society has forsaken the understanding of the spirit world. Relegated to fairy tales and religious folklore the spirit world has become a non entity. It has no place in modern society. Misconception about the other side and its inhabitance has placed people in a cloud of ignorance and confusion. Many people I speak to simply don’t want to think about it and choose to live oblivious to this reality. Then there are those who simply don’t buy into any of this and that’s cool also. It’s not my place to make a person believe as I do. Take it or leave it. It ain’t nothing but a thang.
So the modern world has no need for knowledge and understanding of the spirit world. Many don’t register it; some don’t want to think about it while others don’t believe any of it. For the most part the spirit world is fodder for horror movies and demonic tales filled with pagan ritual. So what pray tell will all these people do whence the spirit world begins to interface more and more with this plain? That’s in prophecies as well. For all intents and purposes this phenomenon is already occurring across the globe. Some people are coming into the paranormal as they discover another side of their persona. Others go off the deep end think they are medicine people or something, gawd. Then there are those who take tons of meds just so they don’t have to cope at all.
In my culture we deal with spirits all the time. We have a daily understanding of spirits of the other side. Spirits usually arethe culprits of many maladies and human drama. And we struggle with the aftermath of unwelcome entities that ravage our lives like everyone else. So imagine how the populations of the world will react when the spirit world enjoins our plain of existence. It will be pandemonium as people freak out over relatively mild encounters. The concerns over the physical aspects of Ma Earths changes will be overshadowed by people literally being scared to death. Ill prepared to cope with realities of a supernatural nature many people will simply perish from fear. Stick around, the show is about to get interesting and we got the best seats in the house.
Hmm, was this a news story?

Yup, the fix is in as far as the corporate candidates are concerned.
The sheer arrogants of Obama and McCain campaigning around the world should be an indicator at the very least. The three stooges Hillary, John and Barack are all clones of GW Bush and the Corporate Machine that has promoted them. Other opponents such as Ron Paul who used the Constitution of the United States of America as his platform was lambasted and ridiculed by the main stream media. Ignored for the most part since his views of Democracy differed from corporate interests, Ron Paul slipped into obscurity.
The core tenet of the United States of America, The Constitution, has been a pariah to industrialists since time immemorial. GW has turned this document into paper airplanes. To have a potential candidate who opposed the corruption doled out by our current political structure would have devastated years of manipulating the system to form this new regime of Corporatism. Hence Ron Paul and other candidates who did not follow the axiom of corporate rule never made the media cut. After all the media is owned lock stock and tomahawk by the very cancer that has infected the globe.
Personally I take offence that these morons running for president have decided the Hispanic and Native votes count now. Why didn’t they count or matter in the beginning of the election campaign? Why all of a sudden specific ethic classes are vital for their elections? Ah what ever.
