 The whole purpose of a "support-protest" group is to get the attention of educated and influential people. Cursing, yelling, flipping the bird, promoting violence and generally acting foolish is counter-productive to what a group is trying to achieve. There is also the proven philosophy that "people who scream the loudest are the easiest to ignore".

I fully agree with you, as I told you in the PM. We have the same thing happening here. Non aboriginals have convinced themselves that not only are they aboriginals but radical who should lead them. I have no doubt that is what the whole issue is with "Niiki" AKA Renz and TBE is about.

still trying to find out who said he is peltiers son?
Gene "Thunderwolf"  Also say he is head of free Leonard movement.

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=482688156&albumID=376193&imageID=1767758


I think I know how this story got started. Thunderwolf, as the head of the Leonard Peltier Support Group of PA, uses the name Leonard Peltier on their myspace instead of LPBSG PA or his own name, as the other Support Groups do. So, whenever he makes a comment or joins another group, it looks like Leonard Peltier is doing it.

Examples from http://www.myspace.com/lpdocpa

Leonard Peltier joined the groups Indigenous Live Chat Room and Saint Cloud American Indian Movement.

Leonard Peltier joined the group: Mafia Queen.


Since Peltier doesn't have access to a computer, some people may have thought this was his son. Instead, it's Thunderwolf misappropriating Leonard Peltier's identity.

This speaks of all the aim groups that are out there that are frauds and using their tradematks. I also have an AIM in Santa Barbra, CA if you want that posted. It is so all over whelming of all that is going on all over the wordl concerning Native American Indians. ???

AIM TRADEMARKS
 About Me
American Indian Movement Grand Governing Council
We need not give another recitation of past complaints nor engage in redundant dialogue of discontent. Our conditions and their cause for being should perhaps be best known by those who have written the record of America's action against Indian people. We seek a new American majority - a majority that is not content merely to confirm itself by superiority in numbers, but which by conscience is committed toward prevailing upon the public will in ceasing wrongs and in doing right. For our part, in words and deeds of coming days, we propose to produce a rational, reasoned manifesto for construction of an Indian future in America. If America has maintained faith with its original spirit, or may recognize it now, we should not be denied... Partial Preamble to the Trail of Broken Treaties Manifesto: October 31, 1972

I've wondered about the trademark violation, too, with this group and with other individuals pretending to be members of AIM. Somehow it ups your Indianness if you post an AIM logo on your website or myspace. At least some people think it does.

A.I.M.GCCC v/s Autonomous A.I.M........Whos the Big Shot? Whats the difference? Shouldnt we all be workin together? Why all the diversity? Does having a federally recognized card make you more of an Native? and copyright this,copyright that........our ancestors didnt stress copyrights or any other kinda government rule.

 Yes the Autonomous AIM of Chester-Lancaster county is young,but they are learning and trying,which is more than i can say for the people in this thread here.Also,you can smash thier sponsor all you want but i know these guys and they wouldnt be doing this if they didnt have a legitamate person backing them.

So people in South Dakota never heard of them,that doesnt mean they dont exist.There are people here who never heard of A.I.M. divisions out west but thier out there and theyre legit,So take your heads out of your rears and give them a chance.

Have you read the posts in this thread, all of them? Did you read Al's post? You might want to go back and read what's been said. You're making a fool of yourself and not doing a thing to help your buddies. Some here have worked with AIM for 30 + years; probably about as long as you've been alive. You've said that AIM-PA "is young, but they are learning and trying". The best way to learn is to open your eyes and ears and close your mouth.

They've changed their name again. I understand adding Autonomous, but I wonder why the change from PA to Chester-Lancaster Co.

Original: American Indian Movement of Pennsylvania
Last Week: Autonomous A.I.M. of PA.
Current: Autonomous A.I.M. of Chester-Lancaster County


They've made their pictures & members (except for their Top 40) private. Wonder why the secrecy. However, you can still read their blogs.

I curious to know why you have not applied to the A.I.M.GCCC to become a legit sattelite group? You can not present yourself as real A.I.M. by using their seal, which than misleads people as to who you realy are, anymore than than these supposed tribes can use the Cherokee Nation seal to mislead people to believe they are the real ETor CNO.

I am also curious as to what you have done so far for our people. What is the intent of your group???? Who is this legitimate person?

Blame on me....  I only "read over" above (even less) and so far I got the 'question'.

Is it questionably (by any sense) to get Leonard free ??

If not...  teach me ( in a SIMPLE way ! ) what it is, you spend your time for !! = thx

I'm not sure what you're saying/asking. Are you saying that getting Leonard out of prison is the goal, one we should all be working toward, and we should accept whatever support is given, no matter where it comes from? Are you asking why we question some of the people who support him? That's what it sounds like to me. Getting Leonard released from prison is important and anyone can work toward that goal. However, people need to be honest about who they are. They need to be respectful. This applies to life, not just this issue.

If that isn't what you were asking, please explain.

Yes  --  bls 926...  I do ask for (the) goal...

I do ask for respect ( !! )

Yet... WHO AM I to question "whatever support is given" (will be given) ????????

I DO LIVE.....  by my very best abilities...
and [plus] I've learned that it is'nt my job to JUDGE others (but request 'respect') --

I've learned to question "we" when it comes to make MY choice !!

I've learned to 'educate' myself about *issues* and 'doublecheck' if // how they fit....
yet 'affect' my very own life and beliefs !

In return:  when you speak of "we"...  who is it... OR  who are you ?

I am  honest and.. upon my best: I'm respectful and therefore IT applies to my -personal- life !!

So I guess.. I DID (asking) right ?!....  how about you ( heartguided - not mind-guided )

please...

{{{ to be on the save side =   YES:  no matter how.....  Gfa Leonard deserve to be free !!!
      and it's YOUR choice to claim that only restrictions WOULD lead towards this !
      (if I got that right =  congrats.....  and joyful dreams to come !)  }}}
