Caught On Tape: Native Americans Chase John McCain Off Navajo Land
Submitted by Derrick Broze via TheAntiMedia.org,
On Friday, August 14, Arizona Senator John McCain was confronted several times by Native activists and elders while visiting the Navajo Nation. McCain and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey were meeting with the Navajo at the Navajo Nation Museum in Window Rock for an event honoring the Navajo Code Talkers of World War 2.
The governor and senator were also meeting with local Navajo officials to discuss their concerns about a new proposal regarding the Little Colorado River rights. Navajo Nation President Russell Begay told the Navajo Times that water was going to be a part of the talks.
“We’re going to talk about it,” he told the Times. “The message we want to convey to Arizona is a discussion. We want to begin dialogue on securing our claim.”
McCain has recently received criticism for his role in passing the Southeast Arizona Land Exchange bill as part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015. The law allows for the sale of the Oak Flat campground to international mining company, Rio Tinto. Oak Flat is historically important to the San Carlos Apache. MintPress News recently wrote:
“The Apache Stronghold formed in December in response to a last-minute legislative provision included in the the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015. The provision at issue in the annual Defense Department funding bill grants Resolution Copper Mining, a subsidiary of Australian-English mining giant Rio Tinto, a 2,400-acre land parcel which includes parts of the Tonto National Forest, protected national forest in Arizona where it will create the continent’s largest copper mine.
Some of those lands are considered sacred by multiple Native American communities, including the Oak Flat campground. The area is not recognized as part of the San Carlos Apache Reservation, but it has historically been used by the Apache for trading purposes and spiritual ceremonies.”
While McCain met with Ducey and the Navajo nation, activists with the Apache Stronghold — and other groups and nations — rallied outside the museum, holding signs that read “McCain = Indian Killer” and “McCain’s Not Welcome Here.” Eventually, the activists made their way inside the building, locking arms and chanting, “Water is life!”
Inside the museum, John McCain was rubbing elbows with Navajo leaders and snapping photos with the community. One person decided to take an opportunity to confront John McCain with a message about Oak Flat. That person was Adriano Tsinigine. Tsinigine, a high school senior carrying a “Protect Oak Flat” card, walked up to McCain for a picture. Tsinigine told the Phoenix New Times about his experience:
“‘I pulled out my [Protect] Oak Flat card,’ he says. When McCain noticed it, ‘He took it, looked at it, and threw it back at me. How disrespectful to me and to the Apache people. I fully respect McCain as a veteran . . . and as a POW and for sacrificing [what could have been] his life, but I do not respect him as a U.S. senator. As an elected official, he should listen to all of the voices of people, [even] the people who are protesting against him.’”
Senator McCain would later be interviewed about the Oak flat controversy. “Historians have attested to the facts that Oak Flat is not anything to do with sacred grounds,” he told 12 News. “Several historians have attested to that. I respect people’s right to disagree.”
As McCain attempted a backdoor exit, the activists chanted in the hallway with their arms linked. Once they noticed McCain’s convoy making an escape, the group began chasing on foot. They were temporarily blocked by law enforcement but eventually made their way out of the building, chasing the cars as they exited the Navajo nation.
Once news reports began circulating that John McCain was chased off Navajo land, the senator’s office released a response to the Phoenix New Times:
“Senator McCain was honored to be invited by the Navajo Nation to meet with tribal and community leaders and to speak at the celebration of the Navajo Code Talkers on Friday. It was a great visit and he received a very warm reception from the Navajo community in Window Rock. He certainly wasn’t ‘chased off’ the reservation – this small group of young protesters had no practical impact on his productive meetings with top tribal leaders on a range of key issues, including the EPA’s recent Gold King Mine spill which threatens to contaminate the Navajo Nation’s water supply.”
Despite the senator’s office denying that the protesters had any “practical impact” on his meeting, it is clear that a new community of Native activists is on the rise. This is only the latest in the reemergence of an active resistance to the colonization of Native peoples and First Nations.

Fucking A!
My only wish is that they could have skinned him on the way out and put his head on the hood of one of their cars!
What? Did he offer to train their Air Force or something?
That would be funny, they'd be dropping live ordnance all over the runway after McLame was done with them.
Today's lesson: Wet Start 101!
..wish I was there to help
They never should have let him out of his box.
Silly Native Americans. If you want a response you don't hand the Senator a protest placard. You do it the right way. You slip the note under the table to him with a pile of c-notes.
< Chase the white man out? About time Indians!
< Chase the white man out? 523 years too late Indians!
they look like dogs chasing a truck lol
think their chasing has something to do with the truck moving
and wouldn't know what to do if they caught it
Indians complain too much. They get to live rent-free on a reservation. They get to work in casinos. And they get to drink. What else do they want?
..Elders better watch out if Nuland shows up there.
I reckon her oppurtinity to say. "Fuck the Navajo Nation!" would be way too late for it to have any impact.
McCain is just spreading a little chosenite patronage to the Navajo's. If the Navajo's would only listen they would learn how thier reservation will be a sacred place in the New Zion that is about to be birthed.
Always spewing forth shit about which you know nothing and pimping that crappy blog. Can't believe that 'dragon-lady', or whatever it is that you call that mid-transition mate of yours, hasn't killed you in your sleep yet.
Wake the Fuck up AZ! Elect someone else.
Fucking dumbshits worse than MA Kennedy voters
The old fucks keep voting for him. McCain spends millions on TV ads promising to make sure they get Social Security checks, Medicare and perscription drugs, and they come out in droves and vote for him. Plus, if any legit contender were to run against him and lose, their politcal career is over. The defense industry provides McCain with unlimited funds to out spend opponets 10 to 1 or 20 to 1 whatever it takes. Too bad the Navajos weren't able to scalp him.
The ignorance of an average American at its finest.
It are not privileged white people who suffer most in a society that becomes divided along ethnic lines.
you are just an attention whore cookie nookie and your blog is devoid of substance.
Its true, the 33 rubes and counting that down voted, don't have a clue because their universe rotates around their home. Indians claim everything as sacred and if you want to touch it, you have to cross their palms with cash. San Francisco Peaks where the Snowbowl ski resort is, is SACRED, Ship Rock in NW New Mexico is sacred (that means you can't climb it without their permission and its not even on a reservation, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Everything is sacred - ONLY BECAUSE that gives them special rights and it becomes less sacred as long as you cross their palms with dough.
They really don't give a shit about those places except for the money they can extract from it by charging admission.
And yes McCain is a traitor and a scumbag. That is definitely worth complaining about.
wrr
If this was real then the exit would be cutoff and he would be scapled live in real time. A camere person chased them down with middle fingers? Big whoop, no way this is so fake. This is silly and stupid. ZH is really showing some botttom of the barrel antics here. Dispicable. Does anyone here really think the natives don't know their own land. Don't go full retard and fall for this garbage. Any natives can PM me and I can give you some dirt to make you really go on a mission. Huge real middle figers out.
When he passes he will have to answer to more than the souls of Forrestal.
Good luck with that McStain
What was the actual number? I seem to recall 134 souls lost to a piece of human shit who was known as 'songbird' by the VC and later became 'the esteemed' senior senator of Arizona.
You really can't make this shit up!
He definetly is a chip off the old block. His father disregarded the testimony of the senior officers and enlisteds on the USS Liberty (which did BTW jive with the intercepted communications of the Israeli fighter pilots) to sweep the evidence of a false flag under the rug. The Soviets showed up and the shooting of men in lifeboats ended along with the plan to nuke Egypt for our bettors. In 1964 we had a chance to vote for LBJ or Barry Goldwater. Is it not true that they both were bound to support Israel because of their heritage. Who demanded that the fighter jets from U.S. ships return to the ships after being sent towards the Uss liberty? I beleive that would be LBJ.
"Wounded knee!" Or something like that...
The Great Spirit already has wings I'm pretty sure.
Tatonka.
Wasi'Chu
How many deaths is McCain directly responsible for? Fair question.
We don't know, may never know. We do know that when he was shot down in '67 his mission was to bomb an electric power generation plant. Hell, had he bombed a power plant in Connecticut he would have got more than six years in prison.
And now, we see that he has sold a chunk of Arizona to Rio Tonto... Defense Authorization act, my ass. And I thought he was solely owned by Peabody Western Coal.

You had me at scum.
Yes he is a scum bag war monger but I've camped at Oak flats. It isn't much but it has been holding back a whole town full of jobs. The Rio Tinto traded far more acres than they got. Even a scum bag gets it right once in a while.
yeah nevermind selling mining rights of sacred ground to some fkn company.
oh right, some asswipe armchair historian told mcstain what he wanted to hear, we dont recognize your concern, now fuck off was their answer!
now its your turn, go fuck off. promptly, and vigorously.
I think the flyover States stand with the Navajo Nation on this one.
The navajo nation usually vote 4 to 1 dimmcrapt--but the leaders were sucking up to johnnymac--he will need their votes come reelection, cause the Conservatives are finished with his shit .
He was just reelected 2 years ago. I hope he does not ghave another term after this one.
LMAO... All career politician turds deserve that..... Hahahaha
This is something that should be replicated in all 50 states, the territories and of course in DC.
But I'll bet my bottom dollar it doesn't. dumb animals are too conditioned to do anything but line up for the slaughterhouse.
If only some key Ukrainians had 1/2 the balls of these Native Americans
Looks like McCain is more welcomed in Syria.
more welcomed in ISIS
"new community of Native activists is on the rise" ... or people in AZ just hate McCain that much.
I'll give you a clue, the native activists aren't on the rise.
people in AZ just hate McCain that much.
or the sheeple in AZ have had their brains baked into oatmeal.
I’ll give you a clue:
Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, he served two terms, and was then elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, winning re-election easily four times, most recently in 2010.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain
Just shows ya' how stupid people who vote are.
#VotesMatter ....haaaaaahahahahahaaaaaaa
Yes, considering that McCain has been censured by both the county-level and state-level officials of his own freakin' party, and he pays Hillary to speak at his own gatherings at some non-profit in Sedona, I think it's pretty likely Diebold is ensuring the winning votes. The crazy efforts the government made to block transparency on voting machines didn't help, nor did the "machine results trump all else" law.
It should look like that everywhere McCain goes.
So only when a people are ravaged, displaced, suffering from psychological issues, stripped of culture, and their land taken from them, do the descendents of the parties responsible for such evil root for them. I am horrified by what will manifest in the future by the cult of ignorant superiorty now that the oracle of real estate is praise worthy for a nomination(notwithstanding he will not run).
He didn't offer the Free Navajo Army any guns? ;-)
Next time maybe he should drive a Budweiser truck, hey firewater is a tradional peace offering isn't it?
McCain handing guns to ISIS while Holder gives guns to Mexican drug lords.
Native Americans are wise enough to see thru all their hypocritical BS.
It be a sign of the times and a bleak one at that.
He was seen handing out blankets
Laced with smallpox?
He just wanted to chase some Buffalo... (MUST SEE)...

To the downvoters. My Great Grandmother (no relation to Liz Warren) was a native american and I thought the Lonesome Dove clip was hilarious...
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Too little, too late. Still great! Run, John, run. You fucker.
Pose with ISIS, pose with some Native American Indians, it's all the same-- NOT.
The Navajo, teaching Americans how to be American.
+100
How many people have McCain and his old man the Admiral helped murder? They both helped to almost sink the USS Forrestal and USS Liberty. The old man recalled F4 Phantoms scrambled to protect the USS Liberty.
Evil evil McCains.
I love to hate the sub-human hemorrhoid known as john macain for so many reasons but the one that burns my guts with acid is his active almost rabid efforts to cover up his shame for being such a fucking coward....... to wit.... http://www.globalresearch.ca/mccain-said-to-conceal-facts-about-pows-lef...
I kind of wish I could see The Doors perform live at least once.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDLQlzTf9Mw
Navajo are Americans. Much of our founder's governing principles were grounded in their observations of native American self governance.
They are more American than Americans in a sense. One problem. The guy America was named after, Amerigo Vespucci, was Italian. So calling them American, while the right idea, sure shits on them, they were here first. Thus the way I phrased it. I did not do that by accident.
Up arrow from me.
Maybe Fauxahaontas can help them against the evil Senator.
Chase John McCain all the fucking way back to that hell hole DC.
John McCain caused the death of a lot of people when he launched a missile across a carrier deck because he was a fucking idiot. He hasn't changed at all since then. When in POW camp, the NVA were going to release him because his daddy and grand daddy were decorated admirals. He may very well have caused the further harm of countless others.
The only reason that fucker got in the navy academy was his daddy. He has never achieved anything based on merit or deed, only bullshit.
I have NO respect for his military service. I have even less respect for his civilian service. He is a fascist and a piece of shit. Fucking kill yourself already John. Go suck a tail pipe, whatever.
His daddy helped murder AMERICAN sailors on the USS Liberty when he recalled US NAvy F4 Phantoms scrambled to save the USS Liberty.
Then he slow sailed US Navy ships to aid the USS Liberty. The first ship to come to the aid of the USS Liberty was a Russian ship. You know those Christian Russians. F You McCains!

I agree Sargent!
This would have been a better story if instead of chasing him off, they'd have ripped him to shreds.
That fucking old bastard needs to fall into a grave....
Bottom of his class at Annapolis. Speaking as a veteran I'm very comfortable telling McCain to fuck off and die.
We ain't no fortunate sons, motherfucker.
CCR bring it bitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0XKhAHR5I
Pull your Head out of your ASS; and get the story straight, Sergeant.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_USS_Forrestal_fire
He also declined the offer to be relieved from Hanoi Hilton. My CO (Capt Stratton - the man who bowed in 4 directions before the Xmas Tree Propaganda Film) before my time at Annapolis was a Hilton Guest; and my HS Coach (Mustang Green Beret LCOL, a WWII Vet)'s son was a POW as well.
Those who were released early for various reasons provided info on the POW Roster - Recall, Sergeant, that several were MIA.
If you truly are a Vet, you'd show some discretion wrt POWs and others who made it back. My Late Uncle, IIRC, had two Purple Hearts; and survived a few RPG Attacks in 'Nam.
Did you EVER deploy into harm's way, in a Combat Unit? I did. So did my Late Father - shit - he ALONE put more than 40 years in - mostly at Sea. This Long War Bullshit game in Iraq doesn't count, since it was already "occupied and controlled" since the First Gulf War. AFG? Well, Mountain Warfare Units with Stingers/RPGs/IEDs... different; but the Invasion (and the 9/11 events that kicked it off) was allegedly staged over a disagreement several Oil Dweebs and State Department Cronies had with the Locals on laying some Petrol Pipe across the Land.
You're not a Sailor, since All Sailors have been trained on the Forrestal Fire Videos; and know that LCDR McCain didn't "fire" the missile - the missile was "fired at" his general direction, striking the tank of the Pilot parked next to him.
You don't have to be fond of the Senator; but if you're not a POW, he probably endured a hell of a lot more than you did,
So GET THE FACTS RIGHT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
PS. Don't forget the PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASSHOLE!!!
Participated in a Jeep Jamboree in the Navaho Nation in Canyon De Chelly. Nice people and awesome place. Oh and McCain is a POS.
Just another 'special interest group' getting special treatment from our elected reps in D.C.
How much has Rio Tinto donated and to whom so that they could get a rider (stuck onto a totally non-related bill) giving them this copper deposit? They are not even a U.S. corporation.
Good to know that the interests of a foreign corp. come ahead of those of U.S. citizens. McCain should be ashamed.
He isn't. In fact, he called and said to pass along a message. The message is, "Fuck you."
What are you gonna do about that?
That's what he thought. That is why he isn't ashamed. Nothing is gonna happen to him.
"That is why he isn't ashamed. Nothing is gonna happen to him."
Let him keep showing up on Navajo land and see how long that lasts.
No, McCain should be HANGED. He has n shame.
Run you yellow bellied Mother Fucking Coward! lmao....if only those Navajos could have caught the slimball and scalped his FUGLY bald ass head AND MOUNTED IT on a fucking pole. When we start chasing Banksters through the Hamptons, we'll know shit is really getting real...just saying. GO INDIANS!
This is no way to treat a Hero, what is wrong with there people, show respect to your betters, if you don't agree with Senator McCain it is because you don't know what he does, trust and support your betters, (God placed them in their positions), to lead and rule us!
I really hope you're being sarcastic, and that your grammar is a ploy.
Why drag the guy's grammar into this discussion? She's probably in a nursing home and has no clue what an idiot her grandson is.
Hero, my ass. He's a disgusting old MIC POS. I hope they keep pestering his rotting ass everywhere he goes. He's an Honorable Nobody.
I dated a pretty Navajo woman. She began to exceed weight standards, and had to cut her loose. I advised her to call me after she lost 40 pounds.
I too have standards. For example, posts should be on topic when criticizing people not even in the article.
Call me when you have a better script.
I was on the reservation for over 12 years --saw thousands of navajo wemen --only saw two (2) that were worth taking a second look at--ugly is their position in the dictonary .
Did any of them hit on you?
Keep your pasty, weak, and helpless waifs. A Navajo woman would whip you and your little wasp's ass without breaking a sweat.
75% of the navajo males are alcholics --at least 25% of the females are alcholics. Diabetes is killing most.

Post a pic of yourself dimwit....possibly the beercan had something to do with your sightings. John McCain probably looks like Robert Redford in comparison to you.
Do the Navajos have a river the EPA wants to pollute?
Yes, I think they managed to do that recently too.
Good job confronting the war criminal McCain, but if this guy respects him for being a paid killer for the Empire he has a lot to learn.
McCain (and his bitch Lindsey and all the neocons) needs to be chased off the planet with a high caliber round.
@ Vidar,
In time my good friend. In good time there won't be one square inch of this earth where these Pure Evil doers will be able to hide. They are very, very afraid as they should be. What awaits these motherfuckers is being hung upside down, having their throats slit, watching them drown in their own blood while being simultaneously being set on fire.
Tick tock mother fuckes. Dying time coming.
If Obama is the ace of spades then hillary should be the king and Mcshitstain is the queen.

This is a pisser. Resolution Copper Mining is owned by Rio Tinto; Rio Tinto is owned (partially) by the Rothschilds.
I believe, Arizona Senator Jeff Flake was once a lobbyist for Rio Tinto.
For those who are keeping score, please add it to your list.
Considering McShitStain & Slick Willy were intimately involved in the seizure of sacred Arapaho land on Mt. Graham for the "Jesuit Lucifer Observatory," can't tell ya how hard I laughed on this one.
Only one thing would have made it better...

The Navajo braves didn't do anything til the police let them. If I notice correctly a lot of the police were Navajo themselves. This tells me something.
It tells me that people in power can always buy guns to stay right where they are and keep us gutter trash right where we are.
Let's not bullshit ourselves and see a bunch of braves running after the man as running to chase him off.
Its about the symbolism and how that changes perception - I expect that was sovereign land so those "cops" probably work directly for the tribe - pretty sure they aren't "the man" but actually do work to "serve and protect". For me, it doesn't matter at all - I love it, that POS should be run off everywhere he goes.
Loved the drum - added much intensity...
Yep the Navajo cops work for the tribe.
Yep the Navajo cops work for the tribe.
and the Apache there look different from the Navajo ...

You're full of shit. But the worst of it is that you seem proud of being so full of shit.
See: Wonded knee 2. They have been fighting and against false flags no less. Pretty good documentary about it.

Very cool!
They should have used some high powered arrows.
Would have been nice to see arrows sticking out of those SUVs.
War whoops and all! Get the fuck out of our nation, MICain.
Yep the "navajo nation", bought and paid for by the U.S Taxpayor !!!!!
Was John wearing his Kevlar for photo shoot? It's fun to watch old MSM plugs to analyze the direction all viewers should take.
McCain's Photo Op raises Questions about Arming Syrian Rebels ...
Cold War McCain should retire from public life given his age. I think he wants to die at his desk in government as some sort of martyr of sacrifice to the Corporation. Frankly, he looks pretty stupid sometimes, and it's kind of upsetting to see him fall from grace the way he has since O'Bummer mopped the floor with him in the last election.
You have to first achieve grace in order to fall from it.
John McCain can retire with Jeb Bush on Florida population kicking his progressive ass out of the state. We need true Republicans, not RINO assclowns.
I would have figured seeing McCain, Goober and Ayotte on the Evening News telling us how we have to invade this Reservation and what a danger they are to National Security!
Sorry John, but your a ass wipe RINO.

The dependency theory is a clap trap between both established partylines.
I have a soft spot in my heart for anyone who chases, aggravates or taunts the Snow Cone. He should have learned from Obama, when he showed up in the Dakotas to "honor" their veterans he cut out before the ceremony, that they had undoubtedly put a great deal of effort into, was even over, zero respect. Obama is afraid of Natives, Snow Cone probably should be too.
When douchebag McCain disrespected him, that young brave should have counted coup and clocked McCain with a nice jaw-breaking punch right in the kisser.
Time for McCain to get off our--the American people's--land as well.
"Leave our country you treasonous criminal."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
Don't worry Indians, the guillotines will catch up with him one day soon.
Maybe McCain lost money on his gambling spree, the town recouped it's losses.

The Navajo have been strong supporters of a clean Earth and equal rights for all people who live there. They are VERY upset by the pollution in the Animas River. GOOD EFFORT, DINEH NATION !!!
The Apaches are genuinely upset. McCain sold them out - for a Copper Mine. That was land they had been using for their traditions for centuries.
McCain knows how to grab $$ from Special Interests. He's learned that trick very well. But respect for all Americans - that's another thing.
Yea...Well, who in fuck trusts or likes McInsane. The fucker is the of the scum of the earth and the only people that don't know it is the rest of the scum in the congress.
My coworkers wife actually thinks hes a great man.
The Navajo Nation today receives tens of millions of tax dollars each year. While the Fed and Treasury can create money using a keyboard, tax dollars do not grow on trees (even trees on supposedly sacred land). Where does the Navajo Nation think all their 'entitlements' come from? They get health care, housing, schools, tribal government buildings, water and sewer - paid by tax payers - yet enjoy many 'tax breaks' on the reservation.
Copper mines put lease money into the government coffers. Workers for the mine get paid wages that give the government tax dollars. Workers buy things and that gives the government tax dollars, and their spending means more workers are hired by associated industries around the mine.
I would be happy to stop the mine and let the Navajo Nation have its camp ground - if they stop taking taxpayer money. I am not singling out Navajos or Native Americans here - but rather all individuals who receive entitlements from the government - and have time to stand around in the middle of the day holding protest signs - trying to stop working people and projects that let the government 'afford' to pay out those entitlements. If the 'entitled' actually stop enough of these projects, and if big corporations continue to move jobs out of the country, there will come a day when those who are truly dependent on entitlements are going to find out that the government will no longer be able to pay those out. And when that happens, all the 'entitled' will be able to do is go camping and say 'at least we stopped the mine'!
Maybe you should head back to Europe where your from and get a job there. Leave them and their land alone t do what they want.
The concessions the Natives were given were won by them in battle. The US received a nation in exchange... pretty good deal. These concessions were not made out of the kindness of the US governments heart as they were getting their asses kicked in the west for decades and people in the east were catching wind of what was really going on and were not okay with genocide.
Most reservations are shit land to begin with yet if they leave they will lose their identity which is primary for them. The average welfare recipient does not have this problem.
Internet has been cleansed since last year. The BIA website has been cleansed.
The Navajo Nation has been given greater power to consolidate their lands in 2014. I have no clue how the lands ended up so chaotically distributed between farmers and the nations.
But Window Rock is an old Bastian of Resistance.
And Indigenous People in the USA have been a big part of our US Military. While John "Treason" McCain has been ignoring Veterans since like 1982...
Natives know that McCain is shit brain.
Natives know that McCain is Lobbyist Tool.
Likely the Natives will oust John McCain and Expose him as a kind of Hacienda Owner.
It is a matter of time as he deserves it. He is total Globalist, Transnational Shill. He Enables off shoring of US Jobs and the war on the Middle Class... We all know it.
Yes, there should be very special treatment for that scumbag
the plan of the Mining Company is to take the copper by underground mining. It is an extensive network of tunnels. To do this, they must remove ALL of the water from that land. So they will drain all the streams, and divert the water sources. YES, this will kill the local forests in that area. Many people use the National Forest Land, including families who go on picnics and Dad's who take their kids on motorcross vehicles. The land will be seized, the people wil be banned, and the trees will be dead. There are plenty of Copper Mines in the USA. Why do we need another one, and at WHAT PRICE?
You still believe in the fairytale of Taxpayer Money. How quaint.
If the US Government can borrow half its stated budget, it can borrow the whole thing. And the part that is borrowed is printed.
Of all the things in this world to worry about, the crumbs thrown to the survivors of the US Government's policy of extermination should be low on the list. How about some concern for the fact that the Federal Reserve is enslaving 99.9% of the population?
"The Navajo Nation today receives tens of millions of tax dollars each year." While the .gov and the corps. rape the land of 100's of millions worth of resources.
Also: "The Navajo Nation sees $80 million in revenues at its four gaming facilities, Indian Country Today reported." which are also subject to taxes that the state enjoys.
As a matter of fact, the only substantial tax break that many receive is on property tax. Income tax etc. still applies to tribal members.
"And when that happens, all the 'entitled' will be able to do is go camping and say 'at least we stopped the mine'!"
And that's exactly what they want, for people to GTFO their land.
What they receive is related to what they gave up. The bankrupt entity in receivership formerly known as The United States of America is honoring a treaty with them (a rare occurance). Many Native American tribes are jealous of the Navaho because in their eyes the Navaho receive much better treatment at the hands of the BIA and othe agencies. The Navaho are (I beleive) the tribe with the largest concentration of Catholics. Why does that fact remind me of the Japanese obsession with round eyes after their being vanquished?
