So I responded to a few people today that are conducting a smear campaign.

I can’t stop them, but I also refuse to be intimidated.

I can’t convince anyone who I am. I’ve divulged my identity in full. It’s your choice whether you believe me or not.

I’m not in control of your choices. I can try to influence them by being honest, demonstrating integrity, sticking to facts and avoiding disinformation.

Which is what I’ve tried to demonstrate in my threads.

I make mistakes. I’m not perfect. I own my errors.

I can only offer information for people to consider.

And I’ve admitted more than once that I’m an oddity in my community.

I’ve clearly identified my agenda. I’ve not negated anyone else’s agenda, but I have criticized greed and identity politics.

You as the reader must decide if you believe me or a group of people who openly discuss Métis and non status FN as mere mixed blood settlers, blame LPC for every problem, align themselves rhetorically with anarchists (NDP) and anti statists (CPC), and spew hate from every pour.

Some of them are FN. But quite a few are white or BPOC “allies” who exploit FN complaints about genocide to advance their own political agenda. Decolonization. An impossible task in a global used world and civilization.

These are people who want decentralized and closed community nations who make their own rules and their own mob justice and control natural resources.

Funny, that sounds a lot like the official conservative policy platform. Weird huh?

I’ve observed this group of people for about 2.5 years. I’ve watched how they recruit and radicalize progressives and centrists using threats and intimidation. I’ve watched them virtually mob those who question their authority, their accuracy of interpretation & their integrity.

I’ve been victim of mobbing behaviour myself several times.

Three years ago it used to be the far right. But now it’s far more frequently the progressive left acting like a pack of wolves and descending on accounts to antagonize and intimidate.

I’ve lost so many allies to permanently suspended accounts from attacks coordinated by this group of extremists.

This is why I try not to swear. I know what their strategy is.

Remove the dissenters so Canadian’s ignorance of indigenous issues can be exploited ruthlessly.

When someone tells you your observations, thoughts, comments and questions are unwelcome, because you’re a settler, they’re robbing you of your voice. That isn’t how traditional teaching is done. Communication is not a one way venue. When it is, that’s dictator territory.

Indigenous traditional worldview is not authoritarian dictatorship.

It’s so much the opposite of dictatorship.

So when you’re told to shut up and listen, you’re being indoctrinated to accept dictatorship and authoritarian leadership from an indigenous person or their allies.

People are angry at the continued abuse and discrimination for several generations. Anger and rage can be expressed without removing the voices of people you want to listen and hear your complaints.

But it’s control of your person when someone tells you to shut up and listen.

No one has the right to control another human being. Under any circumstance.

I don’t understand the hatred and venomous rage exhibited by some people. My aunt is one of those people.

She was my only older relative from my mother’s siblings and we were very close.

But I watched as she became radicalized over the internet and through wealthy friends she had known for 40+ years. While she was devastated by my brother’s murder, mother’s cancer death, her mother’s dementia, and her own mother’s death, she was kind & loving. Compassionate.

But little quizzical changes began occurring after my mother died. And worsened after my grandmother died. She became more extreme. More radical. Less compassionate. Angry. Then full blown rage. We barely speak now. So I recognize radicalization from personal experience.

My aunt and I were raised by the same people. I’m like her younger sister. My mother was mentally unstable and I was raised by my grandparents primarily. And my aunt, who is only 14 years older than I am. I grew up in a multigenerational household.

I spent very little time in a nuclear family. My grandmothers siblings referred to me as my grandmother’s youngest child. Not her oldest grandchild.

My white father hated this arrangement, but multigenerational households are fairly common in indigenous families.

So the loss of my aunt, my only remaining relative from my family of origin household, is no longer recognizable. We are estranged because she doesn’t recognize reality anymore.

If my analysis prevents one indigenous family from estrangement, it’s worth my time & effort.

If one person in the process of being radicalized stops and reconsiders, it’s worth my time and effort.

I don’t think my aunt will ever escape her radicalization. I’m heart broken. She was the only grandmother my children knew.

The effort to radicalize people using various vulnerabilities and subvert Canada as a nation is well underway.

It’s not normal for people to be so angry and hostile and entrench themselves in extremist beliefs.

If anyone believe this to be “normal” politics or “normal” indigenous politics, they’re well in their way to being radicalized.

This is so abnormal to me it’s become simple to identify the extremists. They’re the ones who hate everybody by their own in-group.

They’re the ones attempting to silence dissent. The ones who make veiled threats and use intimidation and mobbing to force compliance with their narrative. They’re the ones who are accusing people being a pretend Indian if you don’t echo their narrative and meld with a hive mind.

If you can’t observe that yourself, it’s probably best you don’t read what I write. It will only drive the wedge deeper. And that’s not my goal. My goal is to expose this facade for the fraud that it is.

Hate only begets more hate.

People who are attempting to label me as a pretendian are indigifascists.

When purity becomes your measuring stick, you’re pushing fascism. Not culture.

Heightened emotions masks fascist propaganda. This isn’t indigenous culture.

It’s a fascist faction of FN influenced by neo fascists in mainstream society who have promised wealth in exchange for natural resources.

It’s part of a much larger grift by Dominionist Christian nationalists (neo fascists).

You’re welcome to prove me wrong. I wish I were.
