23 Years. NOPAROLEPELTIER.COM

 Dear Supporters:

April 30th marks twenty-three years since the founding of the No Parole Peltier Association and its website.

This, of course, was the result of a chance meeting with Jack Coler's younger son on April 3, 2000, which led to initial research and considerably more that followed with over 70 Editorial Essays, 268 blogs and hundreds of letters to discredit the myth, fabrications and provable lies from Peltier and his supporters.

Please see the 23rd Anniversary Statement available from the homepage by clicking on the "23" icon.

Sincere thanks to all our supporters as we ensure that justice prevails and we honor the memory and sacrifice in the Line of Duty of Jack and Ron.

"In the Spirit of Coler and Williams"

PELTIER....Other observations of myths & lies...

Dear supporters:

Breaking with NPPA tradition, we will now periodically (with permission) post blogs from other websites that help further define the fabrications surrounding the Peltier folklore.

“In the Spirit of Coler and Williams”

Re-posted from “Rezinate,” October 10, 2012:

Strewn across the net in various videos, articles, and statements made by Peltier are these cautionary considerations he voices-conflicting statements  like he doesn’t know who so and so is “but” if he did he wouldn’t say, or  that yes he did fire upon the agents, but not at them, just in their general direction-among the many other examples is the one quoted below….below where he contradicts other statements once again in saying he was SHOOTING AT THEM.

These qualifications are much the same as a wink and nod-and Peltier invariably says he if wants to get out of prison he can’t say certain things-and there is the wink-he’s letting you in on a secret.

In his desire to be the myth, to be a warrior, other than a sniveling coward,  he is compelled to dangle the carrot-to keep hope alive for those who have chosen him for their fantasy team.

He embellishes this with self flattery like:

“…people on my reservation know about what happened that day. They know who fought  hard and they know who was courageous and they know who was the hero. They know I  fought very, very hard. I was not afraid. I stood there (unintelligible)  enemy as a warrior should when he is victorious. I wasn’t afraid. I wasn’t afraid any of those times. I can’t get up here and say, tell the world I was a courageous warrior. Especially in this system, I can’t tell the system I was shooting at their police officers THAT WERE TRYING TO ARREST ME.

But foot in the mouth does it again in the final words I have capitalized-his belief  that they were coming to arrest him for that Wisconsin warrant-none of what followed resulted from anything other than that.
 
So Peltier is correct-he can’t tell the true story because the moment he does it is over for him.

In a question about warrior traditions among plains tribes he is asked if it was common once an enemy had fallen did people come up to touch them or take items, and did that occur related to Williams and Coler? 

Peltier immediately seeks to cover his ass by saying:

“No. I never got close to them.”- A lie he admits to in subsequent interviews when being advised that Robideau has placed them there.

When asked if any other people did he replies-”I think some of the other people  might have, yes.”

When asked if some of the items taken from the agents would be a part of that tradition he responds: (But if these “other” people did all the taking and Peltier wasn’t even present  to see it how does that account for one of the agents handgun being found in the  RV during the Oregon stop with Peltier’s fingerprints? Yeah, I know the predictable response to that “somebody might have given it to him”-uh huh, and “somebody” supposedly saw Annie alive after her murder.)

“Part of the old way. I think some of the other people might have come, too. That’s  why you might have heard some of the people say they were down by the cars. They  wanted (unintelligible), traditional ways, old ways to strip your enemy of everything  he has, strip him completely. Yeah. I can’t say if I did or not. I know I didn’t but even if I had, I can’t say these things. I can’t tell you actions I did to hold back those forces from capturing my people? You know how much gunfire I laid out, stuff like this, I can’t do it. I just can’t. I’m going to be hurting myself. If they read that they’re going to be twice as angry.

The public would love it. Sale would jump up. I’ll have to consider that down  he road when I find out.”        (Find out ,meaning if he is released at some point).
 
 When you get out, publish the new revised edition? He is asked, and he responds:
“Right, yes. “

He fought to ” hold back those forces from capturing my people”. 

Exactly what forces-two agents? And who was trying capture his people-which people  specifically? Peltier’s statement of  “his people” amounts to nothing more than himself-but even the agents didn’t know he was there-they were after Jimmy Eagle to serve multiple warrants that went beyond the “boots” lie LPDOC has floated, and included assault and unlawful detention, which  amounts to kidnapping.

“Yeah. I can’t say if I did or not. I know I didn’t but even if I had, I can’t say these things.”
 
Always the mantra, always the cover story-the wink and the nod -Peltier in his desperation to be seen as “traditional” warrior can’t resist dangling the carrot, or even recognize that each time he does he reveals himself a little more.

By any estimation, any metric, this is a stupid man. But more than that an egotistical pathetic excuse for a human being.

"I was railroaded, victimized," "I'm innocent"

In Leonard’s September 6th statement it’s almost as if he’s calling his loyal supporters idiots. He must think that because even the most ardent follower…those who won’t be sidetracked or confused by the facts…can’t read. However, if they read just 10% of the legal history of this case they’d start asking Peltier some serious questions. But that’s not likely to happen and just how Peltier wants it…follow me he says, I was railroaded, I’m innocent, I was victimized. Drinking the full-dose Cool Aid, laced with all the mythology and folklore, is exactly what he wants his supporters to do…but don’t ask too many questions…and definitely don’t seek those pesky details. Just follow Peltier blindly into the forest.

“Staggering Constitutional violations?” (Peltier’s October 16, 2010 meeting with his “team of lawyers,” his “dream team” must have been quite a gathering.) Hardly. If there was one, let alone many, he still wouldn’t be sitting in Lewisburg. To think that at this stage there would be a legitimate basis for any procedural legal action is inane. But then that goes along with the grand Peltier plot that the entire government and the judiciary, right up to the U.S. Supreme court conspired, as he put’s it, to convict the last Indian standing for the brutal deaths of two FBI agents. Gee then, it must have been Mr. X.
And everyone knows Leonard lied about that little matter. (http://www.noparolepeltier.com/lie.html)

“But I was in Seattle that day.”

No, Leonard didn’t really say that, but for argument sake (again…) let’s repeat the twenty-seven (27) most important words—one single sentence—from the thousands of pages relating to this case: “I seen Joe when he pulled it out of the trunk and I looked at him when he put it on, and he gave me a smile.” (ITOSH p.552; See also July 12, 2010 blog for a further explanation and http://www.noparolepeltier.com/debate.html#finished)

If those twenty-seven words were changed to: “I thought those agents were after me. I panicked and started shooting and other’s helped. But I had to kill them because dead men make poor witnesses,” their meaning and significance would not be any different.

“As a young man, all I wanted to do was make a positive difference in People’s lives.” He made a difference for sure, but Leonard came very late (about two years earlier) to the “movement” and any pretense of support for his “people.” Prior to that he was just getting by, and “When I was younger,” Leonard says, “I thought it was a lot of fun running around like that, shaking off all those wives. Now I’m older, I realize I hurt a lot of those women, and I feel very bad about it, I really do. I think about them all the time now, especially the ones that had my kids.” (ITSOCH p.533) Then he turned to murder and hijacked an otherwise proud native tradition.

If Leonard believes all this rhetoric…and he does…and because he’s no fool and is milking the only thing that has kept any light shinning on him (although the bright light has faded to a dim bulb) he needs to stand up and become the warrior he’s claimed to be…to use a colloquialism, he needs to find a backbone.

Stand up and show your remaining supporters where the money has gone (post yours and the LPDOC/LPDC’s tax returns), and if you’re not terrified about showing the whole story, link to the No Parole Peltier Association (NPPA) website.

If you won’t do that, then you remain the same coward you and the others were at Jumping Bull.
