Well, MKP-US has been attacked<\/a> again. Mostly with the artillery of lies and falsehoods under the guise of peaceful speech. It\u2019s like reading Russian press releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought to write about them all, all the falsehoods, enumerating them, and eventually I just stopped writing. I know, you might say, \u201cBut that\u2019s what they want you to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, I don\u2019t think so. I think \u201cthey\u201d want me to behave like them, dance to their marionette strings. No thanks. I have told the Truth. LKS has told the Truth. That\u2019s enough. As I said earlier, repeating a lie over and over again doesn\u2019t make it the Truth. However, human nature being what it is, all one has to do is repeat the lie over and over again, and then more people will believe the lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suspect this strategy is at the root of the most recent attack on MKP. Classical, perhaps even Jesuit-like, rhetoric\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most egregious violation of Truth by Falsehood, besides the conciliatory tone of the letter, is about Lonnie Hamilton, incoming Chair of MKP-US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attackers wrote that he is one of the: \u201cprimary architects and leaders of the LKS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True, he was a Headman for 6 years starting in 2010, and this was 15 years after the LKS was founded. Not any kind of architect. This is an example of the attacker\u2019s rhetorical use of hyperbole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What he is, is an enrolled citizen of the Muskogee-Creek Nation, a status that no one from those who attack us has similarly demonstrated, which omission I find amazing given their repeated claims to speak for the \u201cSioux Nation\u201d. He is transparent about this\u2014at least we know his true background. I will not tell his story for him, that is for him to do. But it should be apparent that this man, in his genuine indigeneity, was not offended by what LKS does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another falsehood: He did not promise he would fight to reinstate the LKS. I never heard him say any such thing at the LKSI meeting, and I was there the whole time. Whoever their \u201csources\u201d are, they cannot be trusted. And, given what I know of him, he would never say such a stupid thing. And, in fact. what he did say made me distrust him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people who attack MKP-US should reveal their so-called sources or at least consider that their sources are just as willing to make things up as they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictable. The Board of MKP-US was warned, more \u201cdemands\u201d were coming. They have. Now they want to run the corporation. Not all the way\u2026just as much as they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They claim transparency with one side of their mouth, then refuse to be transparent with the other side.  Never any names, just hiding behind anonymity, with anonymous \u201cleaders\u201d of the \u201cSioux Nation\u201d. Yuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then they spend the rest of the letter appearing to be jesuitly nice. It\u2019s just more colonialist rhetoric from people pretending to speak for genuine Indigenous people, near as I can tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
