Lakota Indians Withdraw Treaties Signed With U.S. 150 Years Ago

[Guest]

Mark my words:

There is no way on God's green earth the United States is gonna allow the Indians to become a separate nation within Americas borders. No way.

I'm not going to say its impossible these days. Our gov'ment is doing so many things that are wrong, upsidedown, backwards, and don't forger STUPID that I would not be surprised if they were able to pull it off. The whole thing could easily get snarled in court for years and years as it is.

Who knows, maybe the Native Americans could do things right?

Apparently the U.S. governments arrogance has not gone unnoticed and there are a few who feel they can do something about it.

Read the Article.

Though I doubt much will come of this it one of those things that makes ya go "Hmmmm".

This is interesting. This raises a lot of questions.

It wouldn't be within the U.S. borders. It would redefine our border altogether. The tribe has been working on this for 40 years to make sure they go about it the right way. The land that they occupy is theirs in accordance with the treaties that were signed by the U.S. government. Technically the land never belonged to the U.S. government at all. Though they could take it by force or coercion with almost no resistance and force them to sign a new treaty. Obviously this would not look good on them since they have been defending Taiwans' right to independence. You can bet that the U.S. government would see far less resistance than the Chinese would. The situations are similar enough that if the U.S. were to seize the land from the Lakota by force or coercion than I would be willing to bet that China would use that as an excuse to take Taiwan by force. And if the U.S. protested they would fire back with accusation of double standards.

I meant the borders as we know them today.

My point is: If the US allows this to go through, what's to stop Texas, or any of the other states from trying to secede again? Don't states have sovereignty, with the Federal government being a servant of the states? Do you think that with the ongoing war on terror, the US could also fight another civil war?

Hmmmmmmm........maybe this will indeed happen, and be one of the reasons why America is not mentioned in prophecy. Maybe we will simply destroy ourselves.

Or how about Israel? If this turned ino a major issue, Israel could charge the US with double standards and use that to pull back from the Roadmap.
