Re: ICE Raid Intensifies Fear in the Prince William County Latino Community

Who brought the smallpox to this continent that so conveniently vacated the land? I'll tell you who did-the Spanish and the British, who then turned around and pronounced that "God has cleared this land for us" and built settler cabins over the ruins of millions of lives.

It is NOT the theory of Hitler that calls for a continent-wide alliance of all Native peoples, but rather that of Tecumseh, who sought to organize not only a military alliance but to unite all those who were defending this continent as one people-as one fist that would punch back the tide of settlers.

Tecumseh was a warrior of all and a chief over none. His mission was to create a new organizational model and open the way for what would perhaps have become a single united Native nation whose strength and firepower would have thrown the invaders back to the crest of the Appalacians at the very least.

To say that Native ownership of land by blood is Naziism is to call Tecumseh, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and so many other honored ancestors who gave their blood to defend this continent Nazis and is beyond insulting. In fact, it is racist and exactly the kind of ideology the Nazis would have used to defend their "Lebensraum" from thsoe who sought to reclaim their homes.

ICE is dedicated to the legal enforcement of racism and to keeping Native people off of Native land. They are combatants in the continuing "Indian Wars" of the Americas. They are no better than Nazi Germany's border guards and should be treated the same way.
