Special Ameri-Advocate / One Global One Bulletin:
Fred Buma

November 10, 1999  
      Ameri-Advocate / One Global One's European Director, Fred Buma
had a stroke last night and is currently undergoing surgery. 

      Mr. Buma was the first International Desk to open for these
organizations and his contributions have been extra-ordinary and
included developing Media and Political Databases, tactical Info
coordination globally and the phenomenal task of demonstration
organization in Europe and elsewhere on behalf of Big Mountain/Black
Mesa, East Dakota AIM. 

      To list the entirety of his contributions, to not only this
organization, but the wealth of others he tirelessly strived to help
would require a novel length list. 

     His selfless zeal in fighting for right, combined with his warm hearted
love for people and the planet, for which he lives, has been nothing
short of an inspiration to us all.  His absence leaves a vacuum that
could never truly be filled.  Our love and prayers are with him and
for his family at this tenuous moment and we pray for a quick
recovery. 

     Letters of well wishes and prayers may be sent
to smithorg@bellatlantic.net or any of the AA moderators
and they will be forwarded by FEDEX to him in Amsterdam.

ONE DAY IN PEACE,    JANUARY 1, 2000

This is a 24 hour concept where no guns are fired anywhere on earth, including on television.

What if:
for 24 hours, whosoever was at war in December 1999, agrees that for one whole day, no guns would be fired. The silence would be golden.

What if:
the television programmers of the world agreed NOT to air any programming with a violent content?

At present, this ONE DAY IN PEACE concept is beginning to get further circulation. Can you spread this concept so that a possibility might become a reality?

This is a 'thought-wave campaign' - that is to say, the more people who grasp this thought, the more it comes into reality.

Chinese Official Looks Upon U.S. As 'Rogue' State

October 28, 1999
I have to concur exactly with the Chinese analysis presented here on the
twin threats to international peace  and global stability.  The US desire
to abandon yet another treaty, the 1972 ABM Treaty and the US Senate's
act of lunacy by failing to lock in US nuclear superiority with the Test Ban
Treaty rejection presents a very serious and dangerous face on US intentions
and every nation on earth will find US credibility certainly suspect at the very l
east and downright strategically threatening at worst.  Something that if one
wants to encourage peace would be well advised to not present as their public face.

I urge everyone to head  on over to this link and participate in this.  As long as the weapon trade is as big a business as it is, there will never be peace anywhere, only never ending conflicts with profits being made on both sides.  Make the effort to further world peace by joining in on this effort.

Resident in Belgium for around 15 years (until being kicked out by the Belgium Parliament in 1997 for being "politically and ethically undesirable"), Technet 99 (also known as AFCEA) is the high tech arms fair. If you're looking for tanks and guns you will be disappointed - what you will find instead is a showcase for 21st century warfare - computer and intelligence systems, electronics and satellite communications etc. etc. These will be available to the highest bidder, and used against those whose aims run contrary to those of the buyer, be they of the same or other nations. Technet 99 has moved to London in the hope of an easy ride, and for a venue where it can continue to deal in death without hindrance. There is however, an alternative…

HONG KONG -- The first crack in the US government's version of the May 7 bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade came from an agency of the US government. Now, five months later, the official story has crumbled almost entirely -- but you'd never know it from the US media.

NO TO PATENTING OF LIFE!

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES' STATEMENT ON THE
TRADE-RELATED ASPECTS OF INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS (TRIPS)AGREEMENT OF THE WTO

WE, INDIGENOUS PEOPLES from around the world, believe that nobody can own
what exists in nature except nature herself.   A human being cannot own its
own mother.  Humankind is part of Mother Nature, we have created nothing and
so we can in no way claim to be owners of what does not belong to us.  But
time and again, western legal property regimes have been imposed on us,
contradicting our own cosmologies and values.

WE VIEW with regret and anxiety how, Article 27.3b  of the Trade-Related
Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) of the World Trade
Organization (WTO) Agreements  will further denigrate and undermine our
rights to our cultural and intellectual heritage, our plant, animal, and
even human genetic resources and discriminate against our indigenous ways of
thinking and behaving. This Article makes an artificial distinction between
plants, animals, and micro-organisms and between "essentially biological"
and "microbiological processes" for making plants and animals. As far as we
are concerned all these are life forms and life creating processes which are
sacred and which should not become the subject of proprietary ownership.

WE KNOW that intellectual property rights as defined in the TRIPS Agreement
are monopoly rights given to individual or legal persons (e.g. transnational
corporations) who can prove that the inventions or innovations they made are
novel, involve an innovative step and are capable of industrial application.
The application of this form of property rights over living things as if
they are mechanical or industrial inventions is inappropriate. Indigenous
knowledge and cultural heritage are collectively and accretionally evolved
through generations. Thus, no single person can claim invention or discovery
of medicinal plants, seeds or other living things.

The inherent conflict between these two knowledge systems and the manner in
which they are protected and used will cause further disintegration of our
communal values and practices.  It can create divisions within indigenous
communities over which individual has ownership over a particular knowledge
or innovation. Furthermore, it goes against the very essence of  indigenous
spirituality which regards all creation as sacred.

   Letter From The Jatibonicu Taino Tribal Nation, To:

The Taino Tribal Council of Jatibonicu'
US Regional Tribal Affairs Office
703 South Eight Street
Vineland New Jersey 08360
   :

October 12,1999
Tau Ah Taiguey Adanatiao,
Hello and Good  Day to All Our Relatives,
 
  
        It has been 507 years since our Taino National Homeland of the
   Caribbean, Bahama Islands and Florida were invaded and overthrown by the
   Spanish Europeans in 1493.  As peaceful people, we stood by and observed the
   destruction of our Atabey (Mother Earth) and our ancestral ceremonial
   grounds.  With chains on our hands and feet, we stood alone without the
   power to protect ourselves.  The souls of the Taino people cried out in pain
   and anguish as our daughters were being raped and our people became the
   victims of mass genocide.  A conservative estimate of three to six million
   Tainos died due to the intentional introduction of many new European
   diseases. Our ancestral blood fell upon our land like rain drops into a red
   river of blood, that was caused by the Spaniard's Bull Mastiff hunting dogs
   and their bloody Toledo swords. Many of our relatives of other Native American
   Nations do not remember our Taino People, the first nation to encounter Columbus
   on the morning of October 12, 1492, in the Caribbean Bahama Island of
   Guanahani (San Salvador).  We have been waiting patiently for the
   completion of our Taino 500 year prophecy.  The prophecy states that we the
   Taino people would reemerge after 500 years as a proud and noble
   Nation. This would come to pass within our traditional homelands in the sixth
   generation of our Arocoels (Elders or grandparents) in the year 1993.
        Presently, The Taino Jatibonicu (Great People of the Sacred High
   Waters) Tribe and its Tekesta  (People of the Good Earth) Tribal Band of
   Bimini (Mother of Many Waters, the original name of Florida in the Taino
   language)  must beg to our relatives of the other Tribes and Nations to come
   to our aid.  Our Taino ceremonial grounds in Bimini has fallen into the
   hands of a group of private business people.  We have been in a struggle to
   reaffirm and preserve our traditional Taino cultural heritage within our
   Bimini and Circum- Caribbean Island  homeland.  Our Tekesta Taino Tribal
   Band of Bimini Florida, currently is struggling to help gather the needed
   funding of 8.7 million dollars to buy back one of the most sacred and
   ancient ceremonial grounds found within North America. This site is better
   known in the local Florida newspapers, as The Miami Circle.

You need not be privy to knowing exactly what words Echelon

and "manifesto" and "revolt" [etc.] will work. Just be sure to
sound as subversive as possible. There isn't even any need to
write a cohesive paragraph or sentence. Echelon's computers

CANADA: September 29, 1999

      VANCOUVER - A British Columbia judge handed Indian tribes a
      potentially significant victory in the battle over their rights to
      natural resources in timber and mineral-rich western Canada.
 
      Supreme Court judge William Davies said the province cannot proceed
      with a stop-logging order against Westbank First Nation without also
      resolving the issue of whether the tribe has a constitutional right to
      resources in its historic territory.
 
      Although the order is only the first step in what will likely be a
      lengthy legal battle, it is the latest in a series of court victories
      for Indians as they press for greater control over their historic
      lands in Canada.
 
      "It is exactly what we wanted," said Chief Ron Derrickson, of the
      Westbank band, which is located in the Okanagan Region of central
      British Columbia near Kelowna.
 
      Provincial officials went to court against the band when aboriginal
      loggers began cutting trees without a permit on public-owned land
      within what the Westbank people consider their historic territory.

  The marched began about 11am and moved from the park to
  the federal building in Rapid.
  At the federal building speeches regarding the deaths in Rapid, White
  Clay, Mobridge as well as other places were addressed.
  Nowa Cumig was the main speaker and was very motivating as usual.
  The walk  continued on to the Pennington County Courthouse where
  more speeches were delivered.
  Many people drove by and honked or waved their support. The march then
  continued on to the Rapid City Police Station but stopped on the way
  to sing & drum traditional songs outside the jail for the benefit of the
  prisoners inside. At the Police station more speeches and statements
  were made. Afterwards the march returned to Roosevelt Park and we

Sept. 8 - This year, 150,000 women are in our country's prisons and
jails,  three times more than a decade ago. Increasingly, women are alleging
sexual  abuse and harassment while in prison.

Prison:  Nowhere to Hide," a hard-hitting,  hour-long special reported by Geraldo
Rivera, that explores the growing  problems women face while serving

WASHINGTON D.C. EDC-AIM MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

 
Photo's and travelogue of this month's long effort will be coming
soon.  A mighty three cheers for Della Eastman and her
bravery in accomplishing this feat and to the support 
volunteer staff who worked endless hours, put their homes,
their fortune's and their lives on the line to see Della's
dream come true.  Words are cheap and thoughts useless, but
in Della's case and those who unceasingly put all to the test,
actions are the only thing that counts.  They all put their
money where their mouths are and all should be highly honored
in seeing this goal accomplished safely and successfully.


In the entire effort there was only one causality where one
of our support staff had their vehicle damaged.  Considering
the distances, the opposition and the inherent danger involved
in this kind of activity, this in itself is a testimony to the
support staff's tremendous efforts at covering the bases for
these brave individuals as they crossed this less then hospital
terrain.  


In addition to the support staff we would also like to thank 
AIM-CHICAGO for their tremendous effort at providing security 
coverage while they crossed through this volatile area, 

Spirit Catcher who single-handedly broke the Media Black Out in 
Ohio and who's organization provided fuel, fanfare and shelter
during their stay; 

James Spirit Wolf in Western Penn. and his organization who 
housed, fed and provided absolutely first rate coverage through 
their journey through PA and managed some of the most complex 
and complicated troubles to date with ease and obvious skill;

the same goes for Heather Spirit Wolf of Eastern PA and who's 
organization's efforts to assist the reservations is still ongoing 
and impressive to say the least; 

the Rosebud Lakota Contingent including Alfred Boneshirt who 
not only obtained the only standing ovation at the United Nations 
but provided the featured closing U.N. Ceremonies Lakota Honor 
Song event to Della and her walkers; 

Debbie, Joe, Jim and Lauren who provided a simply wonderful final 
staging area for the final segment of this SPIRIT WALK in the 
beautiful surrounds of the Virginia countryside.  Their hospitality, 
support and genuine fondness made the final days of this effort worth 
every minute of hardship all had endured for so many weeks and brought 
a perfect end to such a long hard road. 

Lastly and most importantly, to James Farrar, aka Mighty Hunter who 
provided so much assistance in so many way's that to list them here 
would be a web page in and of itself.  To the families and friends
who patiently waited and supported those who were engaged in the walk
or were in active support of the walk, we will never be able to thank
you enough for your patience while all those personal tasks and 
necessities were left undone, unaddressed and ignored.  It was a big
sacrifice and one we all appreciate. Your loved ones efforts during
this moment in their lives was nothing short of heroic and could not
have been accomplished without your support and tolerance of their 
efforts.  

It is quite simply people as listed above that makes this rock we call 
Earth and our species worthwhile or even salvageable.  If everyone had 
the selflessness, the initiative and the courage that these above possess, 
there would not be a single problem left on this rock to address.  
Spirits like these are what keep us all just this side of the apocalypse 
in my humble opinion and it has been an honor to have been associated 
with them all.


The value of Della's effort will be resounding for months to come.  
A radio news crew from New Yorks State Capitol is on site at Fromboise 
Island (if not right now, very shortly) and hopefully if AIM follows 
up, Camp Justice as well.  Requests for information continue to flow 
in and if the point of this Spirit Walk was to gain attention to these 
issues then there is no doubt that in this effort she has succeeded 
far beyond expectations.


AMERI-ADVOCATE and ONE GLOBAL ONE salute Della Eastman and
EDC-AIM for a simply spectacular success on behalf of all
who wish to see justice done and a resolution to the Native
American Issues that have remained ignored for so long.  Well
Done Della.  My hero.

SACRED SITE DESTRUCTION

The protection of the Mendota Minnesota Sacred Sites has not
however fared well.  Although many have given, supported and
advocated strongly, the I-55 by-pass is still in progress.
This topic is, I am quite sure, going to keep coming up and
we've been very vocal at bringing this issue to the attention
of millions worldwide. It is a shame though that rampant
ignorance is still such a prevailing disease in the world
today.  I hope our continued efforts at educating the populations
at large that they may come to see the light. Namely that a
sacrilegious attack upon one culture is a sacrilegious attack
upon them all.

ETHNIC CLEANSING AMERICAN STYLE

Of more concern are the two ongoing attempts at ethnic cleansing in 
the criminal states of South Dakota and Arizona.  These two issues 
have become exceedingly important to us at the Ameri-Advocate 
especially in light of NATO and their self-righteous attempt to bomb
into the stone age the Serbian nation for perpetuating the very same
crimes the U.S. is engaged in itself. 

For more detail go to "Land Issues".  

*******************************

DINEH' NAVAJO - ARIZONA

The Dineh Navajo in Arizona have a February 2000 deadline to be 
"vacated" from their homeland.  With this deadline impending and the
host of atrocities involved in "motivating" these mostly elderly 
people to voluntarily give up their possessions and homes has made us
determined to bring this hypocritical chapter in modern American 
History to a successful and righteous close.  

For more detail on this issue go to "Black Mesa".

LAKOTA - DAKOTA SIOUX - SOUTH DAKOTA

The Lakota Sioux have their hands full on many fronts but most
notably our friends in Eastern AIM are battling the State of
South Dakota as attempts the physical relocation of about 2000
residents from their homes and land.  South Dakota is in the process
of "acquiring" 200,000 acres of Sioux land and their "motivational" 
methods have simply defied description.

If there was ever an obvious genocide attempt on a people, the
criminal Government of South Dakota deserves a prize.  When
failing to freeze them to death this winter failed they then 
proceeded to shut off their communications and food shipments. 

This is an issue that like the Dineh', we are not prepared to let 
fade into obscurity nor give in that readily or easily.

For more detail on this and updates on the domestic fronts that 
the Ameri-Advocate has been supporting...   

Please click over to "Land Issues" . 

***************************

Eastern AIM having had the power, communications and phone cut are no 
longer available online but we have kept in close contact with them.
Also, the Ameri-Advocate is proud to have helped put together a 
caravan that is traveling to the front lines of this event come June 
complete with supplies, assistance and first hand reports. Yet 
another reason to check here often as the Sioux story is no where near over.

Lastly,  Dances with Derelicts, Kevin Costner has decided to build a 
huge recreational complex with his brother on...you guessed it, Sioux 
Territory by treaty (which was in fact recently upheld by the Supreme
Court no less).  How much is enough for these gringo's?  Since when 
does the State of South Dakota feel it no longer has to abide by the 
Supreme Court?  Nation under Law?  How about a nation under siege 
from within by renegade criminals bent on the annihilation of 
sovereign peoples, the poor, the disenfranchised and anyone else who
just happens to be in the way?  A little strong?  No, I don't think 
so.  Follow along and you'll see there's far more going on then meets
the eye.

CONTRAILS / CHEMTRAILS


Then there is the Contrail/Chemtrail conspiracy. This has
been reported for the past few years but suddenly it is
becoming obvious that something is seriously going on and
to which the only reply from the US Military has been
"no comment due to National Security".  These bizarre
spaying/trails are now showing up on the east coast
from NY to Florida, they have been reported on reservations
for years not to mention California and Washington State.
So, the question is no longer, are they real, where are 
they spraying... but rather,  where haven't they sprayed?
