Peltier: Framed or guilty?

Native American activist Leonard Peltier spent his 66th birthday in prison, marking 34 years since he was convicted of a crime many argue he did not commit. Peltier was a member of the militant group the American Indian Movement and was extradited from Canada back the U.S. on faulty affidavits provided by the FBI where he was convicted of two life terms in prison. High ranking officials from former South African President Nelson Mendala and the late Mother Teresa to movie stars like Robert Redford and Steven Segal have called on the U.S. government to release Peltier. Many also believe the U.S. is holding him as a political prisoner. Peltier has been nominated six times for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Americans didn't care when they killed all the Native Americans 200 years ago. They don't care now. They probably will kill him now.

"The only good Indian is a dead Indian" as they say.

"We welcome you to our land pale skin."

"BAM! Eat musket! Oh and we're not killing you out of malice. We're doing it because of our loving God which you too will love or die. We have a sick kind of logic like that."

Free Leonard Peltier, he is a political prisoner, the government & FBI are total scum, they framed him & hundreds of other activists...He was a target of FBI COINTELPRO OPERATIONS...

c'est un prisonnier politique. Il fallait un bouc émissaire et en accusant un gars qui gêne de surcroît, le gouvernement fait une pierre deux coups.

Jamessimon500/TheMerlinshawk: the ballistic tests can't "speak" so they didn't lie. Those shells did not come from Leonard's weapon. Federal Bureau of Idiots/Intimidation ADMITS they do not know who killed their agents, "but someone has to pay for the crime." Even the judge ruled: "The US gov't & FBI made a mockery of justice." They lied and cheated to get the ruling they wanted. Read your history on OUR People before you post again. Shawnee/Seneca.

[nywg]

Does anybody Know anything about the talk about Leonard planning the murder of Anna Mae?

[s431212]

I forgot to tell you, I generally migrate towards the opinion now days that when Peltier said "I did not shoot those agents," I believe him. Paul De Main NFIC 11/15/09 Ask Jamessimon500 to explain. He was CC'd in to this email sent to me by Paul. Maybe it's his dad that's, "unrepentant,manipulative and very guilty."

[jamessimon500]

Sorry, but the truth demands we take another look. You must read American Indian Mafia with an open mind and an open heart. Then you will see. Peltier remains unrepentant, manipulative, and very guilty.

@jamessimon500 What are you smoking? Leonard is not guilty and the two others who were charged for the same crime were found innocent due to self defense. The FBI is crooked and Leonard is not guilty.
