ABC NEWS and Diane Sawyer ignored tribal government corruption on Pine Ridge
My My My...what would Crazy Horse say about this program? Not being him or Lakota...or a wannabe, I as a full blooded White man am going to boldly assume I might know just what he would say about ABC's special about his people.
I would venture to say that Crazy Horse would first label Sawyers presentation as no more or less then the White/Jewish man's technologically and Hollywood repackaging of the denial of those historical, contemporary, social, spiritual, economic, and United States Governmental factors, events, and elements that have created what is called the the "first concentration camp in America"...the Reservation...and in this case the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Crazy Horse would point out that the "condition of his people" revealed in Sawyers program is the direct result of what was done to them as a result of broken treaties, land stolen, economic way of life destroyed, children stolen from parents and sexually brutalized by the Catholic Church among others, as well as the Spirituality of his people being targeted for "total deletion" from their souls using any means necessary with a most famous example, the outright murder and slaughter of over 300 Lakota children, women, and men at Wounded Knee in 1889. Crazy Horse would also emphatically point out that this "historically hidden massacre" of his people's spiritual beliefs was then followed by a force feeding of his people with the hypocritical Gospel of the "good hearted Christians" who looked the other way while those templates of spiritual, economic, and social genocide targeting the "heathens/savages" were firmly put in place and remain to this day on Pine Ridge . This ABC and Diane Sawyer ignored.
Another assumption I am going to make is that Crazy Horse would also identify and condemn the "tribal governments" of his people called the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) governments, that the purpose of this "concentration camp" government is designed to maintain the policies of incognito genocide which were designed specifically to insure that the Oglala Lakota (as well as other Nations in Indian Country) would do exactly as they are told by the United States Government. That this "control government" is deliberately allowing it's leaders by the United States Government to help themselves to those monies that are for designated programs which were to provide good housing, jobs, and economic development etc. Crazy Horse would call this government a "occupation by our enemies government which knowingly maintains the social and economic conditions which the children of his people must endure. He would point out that those responsible for using these monies and administering them in a Oglala Way and thus for the benefit of his people, instead have in the past and do to this day use those monies for their own selfish purposes. Crazy would view this crime against his people as a "unforgiveable sin". This ABC and Diane Sawyer ignored.
Crazy Horse would speak about the millions of dollars that were to benefit his people have "vanished" and not through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) mismanagement policies of "trust monies", but because those claiming to be the servants and protectors of his people as Tribal Chairs and Council members who are in fact robbers and thieves of the poorest people in America. He would also "call them out", name them, and hold them accountable in the Oglala Lakota Court of Law...or the Laws of the Creator and punish them. He be angry at the United States Government for deliberately ignoring these crimes against his own people and label this "inaction" as a continuation of the war against his people and which was echoed by "Mr. Wizard of Oz", L. Frank Baum..."exterminate them all". This ABC and Diane Sawyer ignored.
I also believe that Crazy Horse would identify and name those American Indian Journalists and Media who lack the courage and American Indian spiritual integrity to both investigate and expose those criminals who claim to be "Oglala Lakota" and "Native American" but in fact are not. He would ask why the Tim Giago's, Chuck Trimble's, Vi Waln's, Indianz, News From Indian Country, Indian Country Today, Native Sun News, and the Lakota Country Times deliberately ignore the criminal "Indian Mafia" operations on Pine Ridge and elsewhere and thus allow for the continued exploitation of his own people by those who in his mind...are a disgrace to any and all things Lakota. Crazy Horse would banish these traitors from his Nation forever and view them as nothing but "Lakota impersonators" who are worse then "White wannabe's and are his people only in name as evidenced by what they are guilty of. This ABC and Diane Sawyer ignored but I believe Crazy Horse would say this is not their responsibility. It is rather the responsibility of those who disrespect his name and will forever do so whenever they use his name in the American Indian Media while they deliberately protect their very friends and relations guilty of committing these grievous crimes against his people.
Lastly, Crazy Horse would express his love for his the Oglala Lakota children and all American Indian children who are born into a "ghettos" who's design came direct from the throne of hell itself. He would in anger address the maintaining of those social and spiritual conditions on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation by those who do not care about or love his children. He would express both his sorrow and rage at what his children go through daily and why and at the hands of who. He would curse the affect on his children of the "alcohol, drug, and rap culture of death" his children are immersed in. He would share how he weeps when those of his children kill themselves because there is no hope to be seen in their eyes as a result of physical and sexual abuse and neglect. Crazy Horse would say that this was not what his children suffered when he was here on earth among his people and cry out to those who can hear his voice in spirit...saying..."This must stop for the sake of the Seventh Generation" of my people! Then...as now...Crazy Horse will continue to wait to see if there any Tokala left to deliver his children from the "spiritual death camp" called the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation....knowing that until there are raised up true Heyoka who represent Wakan Tanka on behalf of his children and people and love them even as he Crazy Horse does, that the suffering of his beloved children will continue. This ABC and Diane Sawyer will never understand.
