(2018/08/29) Three ‘extremist Muslim’ New Mexico compound suspects released after judge drops all charges. By
Elizabeth Zwirz.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/3-extremist-muslim-new-mexico-compound-suspects-released-after-judge-drops-all-
charges
Excerpt: Three suspects tied to a New Mexico compound where alleged Muslim extremists reportedly trained children to
be school shooters were released from custody on Wednesday, hours after a judge dismissed all of the charges against
them, Fox News confirmed. District Judge Emilio Chavez on Wednesday dismissed charges against three of the five
defendants -- Lucas Morton, Subhannah Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahhaj -- ruling that authorities violated the state’s “10-day
rule.” Child abuse charges against them were dropped because prosecutors missed the 10-day limit for an evidentiary
hearing to establish probable cause. During a separate hearing Wednesday, Judge Jeff McElroy dismissed the same
charges against fellow defendants, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and Jany Leveille. However, charges leveled against them on Friday,
in connection to the death of a missing 3-year-old boy, remained. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, the boy's father, and Leveille were
charged with abuse of a child resulting in the death of a child and conspiracy to commit abuse of a child, Taos County
Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe announced. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, pictured, and Jany Leveille were hit with new charges, Taos County
Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe announced Friday. (Taos County Sheriff's Office). Leveille, pictured, and Siraj Ibn Wahhaj were
charged with abuse of a child resulting in the death of a child and conspiracy to commit abuse of a child, Taos County
Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe announced Friday. (Taos County Sheriff's Office). The five suspects were arrested by authorities
after an Aug. 3 raid following a monthslong search investigating the disappearance of Abdul-ghani Wahhaj, a 3-year-boy
with severe medical issues who went missing from Georgia in December. The occupants of the compound were "most
likely heavily armed and considered extremist of the Muslim belief," an official said at the time. Taos County Sheriff's
deputies discovered 11 children at the compound, who were taken into the custody of state child-welfare workers. On
Aug. 6, a child’s remains were found on the property.

(2018/11/05) The Witches of Baltimore: Young black women are leaving Christianity and embracing African witchcraft in
digital covens. By Sigal Samuel
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/11/black-millennials-african-witchcraft-christianity/574393/
Excerpt: “We may not be Christian here, but we still pray,” said a woman dressed entirely in white as she addressed a
large audience of African American women. Standing behind a lectern, speaking in the cadences of a preacher, she
added, “I understand God more now, doing what I’m doing, than I ever did in the Church.”
The call and response that followed (“No one’s going to protect us but who?” “Us!”) was reminiscent of church—but this
was no traditional sermon. The speaker, Iyawo Orisa Omitola, was giving the keynote address last month at the third
annual Black Witch Convention, which brought together some 200 women in a Baltimore reception hall. The small but
growing community points to the hundreds of young black women who are leaving Christianity in favor of their
ancestors’ African spiritual traditions, and finding a sense of power in the process.

Over the past decade, white Millennials have embraced witchcraft in droves. Now a parallel phenomenon is emerging
among black Millennials. While their exact numbers are difficult to gauge, it’s clear that African American pop culture
has started to reflect the trend. In the music industry alone, there’s Beyoncé’s allusion to an African goddess in
Lemonade and at the Grammys; Azealia Banks’s declaration that she practices brujería (a Spanish term for witchcraft);
and Princess Nokia’s hit “Brujas,” in which she tells white witches, “Everything you got, you got from us.”The call and
response that followed (“No one’s going to protect us but who?” “Us!”) was reminiscent of church—but this was no
traditional sermon. The speaker, Iyawo Orisa Omitola, was giving the keynote address last month at the third annual
Black Witch Convention, which brought together some 200 women in a Baltimore reception hall. The small but growing
community points to the hundreds of young black women who are leaving Christianity in favor of their ancestors’
…African spiritual traditions, and finding a sense of power in the process.
African American witchcraft originated in West Africa, the birthplace of Yoruba, a set of religious traditions focused on
reverence for ancestors and worship of a vast pantheon of deities known as orishas. Those traditions accompanied West
Africans who were brought to the Americas as slaves, and were eventually combined with Western religions, such as
Catholicism, that many slaves were pushed to embrace.
By the early 19th century, Cuban Santeria, Brazilian Candomblé, Haitian Vodou, and other syncretistic faiths had
emerged as a result. In cities like New Orleans, voodoo (slightly different from Haitian Vodou) and hoodoo, which also
descend from West African faiths, grew popular. These practices—which often involve manipulating candles, incense, or
water to achieve a desired result—may have helped give slaves some sense of power, however minimal.
Modern black witches are practicing Yoruba-based faiths, with a few Millennial touches. They build altars to ancestors so
they can seek their advice on everything from romance to professional advancement, cast spells using emoji to help
banish depression, surround themselves with crystals in the hope that they will relieve stress, and burn sage to cleanse
their apartments of negative energy.
…The internet is almost becoming like a hush harbor for these witches of color,” Guillory said, referring to places where
slaves gathered in secret to practice their religions in antebellum America. Online, an avatar or a handle allows women
to speak freely. A popular Tumblr promotes inspirational images of black witches and Facebook groups for the women
have thousands of members each, while some have even developed smartphone apps.
Some young women at the Baltimore convention told me their parents had long hid their grandmothers’ or great-
grandmothers’ involvement with witchcraft—a decision the Millennials resented, until they realized their parents may
have felt the need to suppress any talk of magic because their ancestors were harshly punished for their rituals. New
Orleans, for example, saw sweeping arrests of voodooists in the 19th century.

Tribal Employee
(2019/08/26)Navajo women cops and Navajo witchcraft
https://tribalemployee.blogspot.com/2019/08/navajo-women-cops-and-navajo-witchcraft.html
Excerpt: ("On a vast reservation, female Navajo officers patrol with bulletproof vests and protective amulets") It talks
about how the female Navajo Nation police officers deal with Navajo-specific issues such as lack of manpower and
witchcraft. Navajo police: The reservation is about the size of West Virginia with about 27,000 square miles. It is huge.
There are only about 200 police officers to provide law enforcement for this huge area. The police density is about 2
police officers per 1000 people. Outside the reservation in the United States, the police density is about 3.5 police
officers per 1000 people. Compared to the rest of America, the Navajo Police Department is severely lacking police
power. No wonder many areas of the Navajo reservation is like the wild wild west. Wild West: People do whatever they
want. They drink, get drunk, get violent, and 911 calls start coming to the police dispatcher. These Dine terrorize the
community and the people live in fear. Under these circumstances, the crime rate is high, most of it caused by alcohol.
There is much violent crimes, sex crimes, and substance crimes. Unique values: The article also shows how the Navajo
people have their own unique values. For instance, a family member died and the family member demanded that the
female police officer remove the body from the house to somehow make the house less contaminated. But the police
officer cannot just remove the body. She has to follow protocol. The evidence needs to be preserved. There needs to
be coroner, etc. The family should not be drinking in the first place. But it is hard because the area is high in poverty
and unemployment. People just drink to pass time and because they are bored. It is hard being a police officer in the
rez. Witchcraft The article also tells of how the police officers experience witchcraft with some of the Navajo
population. The police officers experience sickness. The particular female police officer does cedar to protect herself.
Our Cheis and Masanis use to warn of these types of situations. They would advise us to protect ourselves.

Summary:
La Paz Cartel was formed in Bolivia to export narcotics to Mexican cartels that were smuggling cocaine into the U.S.
Formerly, the route from Bolivia was through Colombia, but the successful campaign by the government, with support
of U.S. drug interdiction agencies, to disrupt the Colombia cartels forced La Paz to find different routes. The Bolivian
cartels were give reprieve when Bolivia withdrew its extradition agreement with the U.S. and chose instead to impose
light jail sentences under it "repentence decree" for drug lords who turned themselves

Steve Hebbe-Farmington Police Chief;; Book-Arnold Ray Lambert’s 2019 book Every Man a Hero A Memoir of D-Day, The First
Wave of Omaha Beach and a World at War.
Steve Hebbe added to NM Police Names Abuse/Issues section. The issue there is his past w/ Alaska Army Guard and
being in the police dept. that investigated the Guard’s scandal. La Familia (being added to Cartels) came up in
connection w/ The Guard and a leader there who had worked at APD. Pay attention to possible related cartel links
between AK and NM.
On history: I recommend people studying modern US/Middle Eastern warfare and other forms of warfare involving US
operational strategies (including counter-terrorism), read up on World War II leadership for tips on overall war efforts, a
feeling for specific battles, and to better identify how that generation thought and operated. The “old school” approach
included a well grounded common sense and spunky drive, but also creativity when it was needed.
Every Man a Hero: As an extension of this theme, the 2019 book Every Man a Hero: A Memoir of D-Day, The First Wave of
Omaha Beach and a World at War by Arnold “Ray” Lambert is recommended. Lambert is 98 years old this year and
was one of the few remaining combat veterans of his generation honored by Trump this year in June. He was a medic
on D-Day in the 1st Division, 16th regiment of the United States Army. The book has good maps and background
information which takes us into the Army world and the key war zones.

https://www.nhonews.com/news/2016/sep/06/judge-sentences-11-in-navajo-nation-corruption-ca/
Excerpt: A Window Rock, Arizona district court judge recently handed down sentences to 11 defendants for the
criminal misuse of hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Navajo Nation's discretionary fund. Four more
individuals are scheduled for sentencing by the end of September.
All 15 defendants - two former Navajo Nation Council speakers, 11 former council delegates and two legislative
staff members - pleaded guilty or no contest to charges that included conspiracy, fraud, bribery, submitting false
vouchers and conflict of interest. All of the cases resulted in conviction and all defendants entered into plea
agreements after admitting to taking discretionary dollars for personal or family use, according to court records.
Delegates have access to discretionary funds, or slush funds, to provide assistance to constituents with
emergency needs, including single parents, elders and families who need burial funds. A total of 18 defendants -
including three who were previously sentenced - helped themselves to a total of $850,000 between 2005 and
2009.

(2010/11) Navajo tribe signs memo with Farmington officials. By Tim Korte
https://www.indiancountrynews.com/index.php/news/9-news-from-through-out-indian-country/10500-navajo-
tribe-signs-memo-with-farmington-officials
Excerpt: The Navajo Nation signed a historic government-to-government agreement with Farmington city
officials last week, with both sides calling it a positive step toward improving race relations in a community where
friction has existed for decades. The agreement was sealed after an hourlong blessing ceremony by a Navajo
medicine man at City Hall, and it makes Farmington the third community on traditional Navajo lands but outside
the boundaries of the reservation to reach such an agreement with the tribe. The latest accord also comes
against the backdrop of federal hate-crimes charges filed last week against three white men from Farmington
who are accused of branding a swastika on the arm of a mentally disabled Navajo man last spring. "Being the
mere human beings we are, we have many shortcomings," said Navajo Human Rights Commission chairman
Duane "Chili" Yazzie. "I'd like to think the human relationship problems we've had over the years have really
subsided. Back in the '60s and '70s, the relationships were aggravated by physical violence and even death."
Mayor Tommy Roberts said the largely symbolic agreement won't eliminate prejudice in Farmington or on the
Navajo Nation, but it shows the community's commitment to continue reaching for solutions. He said the final
document took a year to produce and told a gathering of tribal and city officials that he was asked several times
why the negotiations were so important. "It's a very simple answer," Roberts said. "It's important because we're
neighbors. We're connected politically. We're connected socially. We're connected economically. We must
recognize that as neighbors, we must treat one another with respect and tolerance."
Farmington, a predominantly white community of about 45,000 residents, is a center for oil and natural gas
production as well as an economic hub, drawing shoppers from southwestern Colorado and across the Navajo
lands of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah.
Earlier this year, the Navajo Human Rights Commission signed similar memoranda with the New Mexico towns of
Grants and Gallup. Drafts are in the works for Aztec and Bloomfield.
Next year, commissioners plan to pursue agreements in Arizona for Flagstaff, Holbrook, Winslow and Page, along
with Cortez, Colo.
Racial tensions in Farmington peaked in May 1974, when the beaten and burned bodies of three Navajo men were
found north of town. Three white high school students were linked to the crime and sent to reform school,
outraging the Navajo community and prompting protests in town.
"We are wanting to move forward and improve our relationship," Roberts said.
Yazzie agreed, saying race relations have improved dramatically in Farmington since the 1970s and the city has
made important steps, such as establishment of a community relations commission to review racial complaints
and provide education and training.
Yazzie said he has experienced racism in Farmington but cautioned that he knows some Navajos who are
prejudiced toward whites. In either case, he said those who discriminate are in the minority and urged people to
remember what they have in common.
"We have had good memories, good relationships, strong relationships through the years," Yazzie said.

Excerpt: “The United States was complicit,” Todd Greentree, who was a young political officer at the American
embassy at the time, told me recently in an interview for a documentary about the massacre. Greentree noted
that the massacre was carried out by the Atlacatl Battalion, which had just completed a three-month
counterinsurgency training course in the United States. That training was also supposed to instill respect for
human rights. The El Mozote operation was the battalion’s very first after completing the course.
When reports of the massacre first appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post, the American
ambassador, Deane Hinton, sent Greentree and a military attaché, Marine Corps Major John McKay, to investigate.
They concluded there had been a massacre, and that the Atlacatl battalion was responsible, Greentree told me.

way to your Mexico destination, it may be worth your while to know what roads to take (both going north and south),
what services are available and how busy the crossing. Save time by getting the low-down from Mexpro.

words here are likely more on target than many articles found in the corporate driven media.
How do we take back our media and our Primaries?

The Federalist (2017/02/06) 16 fake news stories reporters have run since Trump won. By Daniel Payne:

Excerpt: Since at least Donald Trump’s election, our media have been in the grip of an astonishing, self-inflicted crisis.
Despite Trump’s constant railing against the American press, there is no greater enemy of the American media than the
American media. They did this to themselves.
We are in the midst of an epidemic of fake news. There is no better word to describe it than “epidemic,” insofar as it fits
the epidemiological model from the Centers for Disease Control: this phenomenon occurs when “an agent and
susceptible hosts are present in adequate numbers, and the agent can be effectively conveyed from a source to the
susceptible hosts.”
The “agent” in this case is hysteria over Trump’s presidency, and the “susceptible hosts” are a slipshod, reckless, and
breathtakingly gullible media class that spread the hysteria around like—well, like a virus.
It is difficult to adequately sum up the breadth of this epidemic, chiefly because it keeps growing: day after day, even
hour after hour, the media continue to broadcast, spread, promulgate, publicize, and promote fake news on an
industrial scale. It has become a regular part of our news cycle…

9/11 in 2019
2019/09/11 some additions across day
Never forget 9/11! Remember the way the American public was lied to in the media before, during and after it!
Corporate driven media is corrupt! We most definitely have been lied to and also have had certain key facts omitted
from our media. There is no doubt about this whatsoever. Real Americans will continue to sniff out the odd and
malicious undercurrents be hind the war on American soil. Understand we have to think along various trajectories to
sense how the enemy operated and still operates. Please do your part in spreading the word on stealth and overt jihad;
the links between certain strands of communism, socialism and Islamic extremism; the fact certain Jews, but not all
Jews, can be in on this, and to know the difference without lumping all Jews together.
It is important to understand that there have been similar operations since at least the Vietnam War and likely are
behind why we lost - or that the world was told we lost as part of some hidden back room table agreement - and the
fact a lot of the games against the USA have been and continue to be run through American two year and four year
colleges, and research based universities; that one of the wars on America is financially driven to get it to squander its
resources and to leak monies to non-white civil rights groups and their internationalist anti-American allies; that these
groups include Hispanic, Native American, Asian and black groups, but that not all persons of color are guilty or
complicit; that some of the games include phony or exaggerated lawsuits and unfair grant allocations to non-whites on
college campuses. It also includes loan sharks and non-reciprocal trade agreements in which other countries get more
and give little in return. The games include arts savvy, a tendency for creative and wacky ways that go outside the box
and work around our systems.
