AMERICAN INDIAN MOVEMENT GRAND GOVERNING COUNCIL MINISTRY FOR INFORMATION
Ward Churchill was scheduled to speak at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York on February 3, 2005. His appearance was canceled by the college after he caused a public furor over his loathsome remarks about the 9-11 tragedy in New York. AIM's Grand Governing Council has been dealing with Churchill's hateful attitude and rip-off of Indian people for years.
The American Indian Movement Grand Governing Council representing the National and International leadership of the American Indian Movement once again is vehemently and emphatically repudiating and condemning the outrageous statements made by academic literary and Indian fraud, Ward Churchill in relationship to the 9-11 tragedy in New York City that claimed thousands of innocent peoples lives. Churchills statement that these people deserved what happened to them, and calling them little Eichmanns, comparing them to Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, who implemented Adolf Hitlers plan to exterminate European Jews and others, should be condemned by all. The sorry part of this is Ward Churchill has fraudulently represented himself as an Indian, and a member of the American Indian Movement, a situation that has lifted him into the position of a lecturer on Indian activism. He has used the American Indian Movements chapter in Denver to attack the leadership of the official American Indian Movement with his misinformation and propaganda campaigns. Ward Churchill has been masquerading as an Indian for years behind his dark glasses and beaded headband. He waves around an honorary membership card that at one time was issued to anyone by the Keetoowah Tribe of Oklahoma. Former President Bill Clinton and many others received these cards, but these cards do not qualify the holder a member of any tribe. He has deceitfully and treacherously fooled innocent and naïve Indian community members in Denver, Colorado, as well as many other people worldwide. Churchill does not represent, nor does he speak on behalf of the American Indian Movement. New Yorks Hamilton College Kirklands Project should be aware that in their search for truth and justice, the idea that they have hired a fraud to speak on Indian activism is in itself a betrayal of their goals.

yeah, they know about him, and they don't want him!
No kidding. A liar is exposed as a liar.
ouch, this has to hurt.
More of these frauds need to be exposed! Thanks.
Wow!
Churchill a real split nose. Too bad old customs can't still be enforced.
*** the Keetoowah Tribe of Oklahoma. ***
Ah yes. The so-called "lost" tribe of Cherokees. They have been trying to get a "reservation" of a few acres for themselves near Hot Springs, Arkansas for years.
Reservation =casinos=money.
Get my drift?
According to AIM, he is not even an Indian, although he claims to be. I wonder if his claims of Vietnam service are false as well? Someone should look into it.
Pretty cool.
Just sent it to OReilly...now does anyone have the Colorado Governor's address and Hamilton Coll Pres and Student Body and U of Colorado newspaper and Boulder news paper???
What a piece of poo this scuzzball is.
I don't see how they can't fire him.
Wasn't this guy calling somebody else a Liar?
Shouldn't he be declared unanimously as the DNC chairman?
>>does anyone have the Colorado Governor's address<<
Not necessary!

"Gov. Bill Owens called on Churchill to resign his faculty position, saying taxpayers shouldn't have to subsidize his "outrageous and insupportable" views that defy the facts of history."
As for Hamilton College:
"Citing death threats, the school Tuesday canceled the panel discussion featuring Churchill." [From the same article linked above.]
I'll be damned----he's a Native American wannabe!!
What a pitiful man,filled with hate,and yet there are plenty out there who believe him,

Read full text
Article/book #3465: A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas, 1492 to the Present
By: Ward Churchill
Date of issue: January 1998
ISBN: 0872863239
Topic(s) addressed:
* American policy on Israel/Palestine
* Israeli abuse of the 'military needs' terms of the Geneva conventions
* Holocaust exclusiveness
Commentary: This book is about European colonialism in the Americas but anybody interested in the Palestine question cannot fail to spot analogies which cast an interesting sidelight on American policy towards Zionist colonialism in Palestine.
Abstract: From a review of the book (not by this editor): This book is packed full of information for so relatively small a number of pages and at times, though not always, the prose style is, well, rather dry, to use the most polite term. There are streches where one cannot read more than two or three sentences without being directed to look down at large footnotes. But Mr. Churchill is man of immense learning and passion. In this inconclastic study he engages in a comparative study of genocide and its academic treatment with a specific focus on the history of Native Americans vis a vis the U.S. government and the dominant white race. He starts off by dissecting the opinions of such professional holocaust exclusionists like Deborah Lipstadt, Yehuda Bauer, and Steven J. Katz. These brethren have made it their duty, allbeit ito fully ingrain in mainstream ideology the idea that the holocaust of Jews was an utterly unique even in human history; in contrast, they have written, the genocide of Slavs and especially gypsies by the Nazis, to say nothing of the genocide of Native Americans, Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, Africans by the European powers, etc. etc. is not worthy of the same consideration. Professor Lipstadt goes even far as to say that people who say that they are are anti-semitic holocaust deniers. Obviously they do this so as to provide an ideological bulwark of vicitimization so as to deflect criticism of Israel and its continuing dispossession and brutality against Palestinians. He goes on to examine the barbaric treatment of Indians in Latin America in modern times, two most prominent examples being that of the Ache indians in Paraguay by the U.S. backed neonazi dictator Alfredo Stroessner, whose fate managed to elicit a few crocodile tears from the great holocaust exculsivist Elie Wiesel, and the peoples of the Amazonian basin in Brazil. The next sections are probably the most important. He provides a pretty damm near exhaustive account of European-Indian relations. He examines the activities of the Spaniards, the first European colonisers as they conducted a campaign of wholesale mass murder, rape, pillage, starvation and slave labor against the Indians who crossed their path. He says that their is no real evidence for the Aztecs allegedly commonplace custom of \"ritual sacrafice\" of up to twenty thousand people a year and says that it was an excuse contrived by Hernan Cortes and the other conquistadors to justify their murderous policies and was only \"confirmed\" by indians being forced under torture to testify during the Inquisition in Spain. He compares this theory offered up by respectable intellectuals to the theory of \"Jewish ritual murder\" contrived by their counterparts in Germany in the 1930\s. He goes on to examine the activities of the French (far less genocidal towards the Indians, if only for tactical reasons) and the greatest of mass killers of them all, the Anglo-Saxon races. He traces all the great Indian killers of American history and people who provide their ideological justification from Jeffery Ameherst to some of the soldiers marching through the streets of Denver after the Sand Creek massacre in 1864 with Indian male genitals for tabacco pouches and Indian female genitalia accross their saddles. The policy from the original Jamestown settlers to George Washington to Andrew Jackson to the settlers in Northern California to George Custer was pretty much along the following lines, often quite explicitly stated: destroy women and children, destroy their economies and infrastructure, exterminate or push them further west, disregard any treaties we might sign with them, they are only cockroaches. In the next section he traces U.S. Indian policy since roughly 1890 after the Indian Allotment removal act and the implementation of the \"spare the man, kill the Indian policy.\" It was gradually discovered that Indian reservations were places of great mineral wealth, so they were prevented from being dismantled as they were scheduled to be and their indigenous tribal structures were eliminated in favor of a colonial type system that could put the government and corporations in a better position to exploit those resources. He points out that the high rates of cancer resulting among Indians who work or who are forced to live near, for example Uranium Ore or Plutonium based industries or weapons testing sites is more often than not deflected away from the hazardous conditions of the sites and towards theories about the victims getting cancer because of smoking or second hand smoke even though such descriptions fit very few of them. He ends with a discussion of the effort to get a decent revision of the United Nations convention on genocide and examines U.S. and other countries evasions of it. He describes the U.S. as a violent and lawless state, as evidenced by its withdraw from World Court jurisdiction as a result of the 1986 World Court ruling against its terrorist war in Nicaragua, eliciting widespread international condmenation, including from Thatcher\s Britain.
He'd make a great DNC chairman!
I am looking into it. I work at Ft. Benning, Georgia, and I'm trying to track down some info on his claim to have been a Ranger in Viet Nam...I'll keep everyone posted.
