Urgent: Homeland Security preparing to seize Apache lands

http://intercontinentalcry.org/urgent-homeland-security-preparing-to-seize-apache-lands


Margo Tamez recently sent out the following urgent call for support, explaining that since July, her Mother and Elders of el Calaboz, Texas, have been the targets of numerous threats and harassments by the Border Patrol, Army Corps of Engineers, NSA, and the U.S. related to the proposed building of a fence on their levee.

The NSA, for one, has been specifically demanding that Elders give up their lands for the levee–telling them that they will have to travel a distance of 3 miles to go through checkpoints, to walk, recreate, and to farm and herd goats and cattle ON THEIR OWN LANDS.

Margo’s mother just informed her that since last Monday the Army Corps of Engineers, Border Patrol and National Security Agency teams have been tracking down and enclosing upon the people; telling them that they have no choice: “the wall is going on these lands whether you like it or not, and you have to sell your land to the U.S.”

Margo asks that you Please help the elders and indigenous women land title holders resist forced occupation in their own lands! As a start, you can do so by sharing this information to your friends and networks. (more to follow.)

If you would like to contact Margo for more information, you can email her at mtamez@wsu.edu

1. They nor anyone else in America have "their own land"
The Government will take the land they want from anyone at any time and there is not one thing anyone can do about it..All you have is the illusion of ownership....

2. After the FEMA and Patriot Acts
we have no land rights. Which candidate is going to stand up and say they will give us back our rights and Constitution?

Hillary and Obama had their chance and they blew it. Why vote for them?

3. So just wring your hands, be a coward and a turn coat and give up Toots?
If we have no power then why do you even bother to post?

Of course we have power. More importantly we have a responsibility to do something.

If those that can do something decide not to, then they are as bad as the perpetrators and thieves stealing the land.
