The Other Side Of The Caledonia/Six Nations Story

Our history has important instances when the Indigenous nations, Metis, together with the Quebec nation and Canadian settlers have taken stands against Annexation. Is not the heroic resistance of the Six Nations, but yet another example of their taking a stand against Annexation, and a call for the Canadian people, including the Quebec nation, to unite with them to create an alternative to serve the public good against the greed of monopoly "right"? Isn't their resistance not in effect an action to affirm the sovereignty of all the Indigenous nations and all the peoples of Canada? Given the threat of Liberal Ontario Premier McGuinty to "clear the barricades", now is the time for all progressive voices everywhere to write yet another letter demanding: No OPP or Army Violence Against the Six Nations! Acknowledge Six Nation Title to the HaldimandTract! Negotiate a Political Settlement with Dignity and Honour for All! If your letters don't cause McGuinty pause to think, maybe the following press release will! Best wishes, Charles Boylan ROSEAU RIVER ANISHINABE FIRST NATION GOVERNMENT P.O.

As Premier Dalton McGuinty and Minister of Indian Affairs Jim Prentice pull out of the Six Nations/Caledonia land claim with ultimatums that the "barricades must come down," First Nations across Canada are issuing their own ultimatums. Last week, 100 Ontario Chiefs walked to the site of the land claim dispute and issued their own warning to Canada. Today Union of British Columbia Chiefs issued full support to Six Nations. In Manitoba, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, representing 64 First Nations, passed a resolution supporting a 24-hour railway blockade set for June 29th 2006, "to force the Canadian government to establish a reasonable time-frame for settlement of land claims." Chief Terrance Nelson moved the resolution to "send a message, that resource wealth of our lands are what supports every Canadian." Canada is the third largest producer of diamonds, has 10 per cent of the world's forests, and mines 60 metals and minerals. Oil is now over $72 a barrel, up from $10 a barrel in 1999, and there are 1.4 trillion barrels of oil in the tar sands plus hundreds of other oil and gas producing areas. Canada had eight straight federal government budget surpluses, a 2005 reported net worth of $4.5 trillion, and GDP over a trillion dollars. Today the federal government raises far more revvenue from its share of resource royalties than it does from income taxes. Roseau River will block two railway lines going into the United States. At least six other Manitoba First Nations have vowed to block railway lines at the same time. The financial cost of the railway blockades will be in the millions but the real impact is likely to be the international image of Canada. Canada was the United Nations choice as the "best country in the world to live in" for seven straight years, but while Canada was number one on the index, Canadian First Nations communities mired in extreme poverty were set at the 63rd level on the UN scale. Over 6,000 First Nations land claims are now in limbo. "What pisses me off when I watch the Caledonia violence" said an angry Chief Nelson, "is the immigrants to our lands didn't bring the diamonds or other resources from Europe in their little wooden boats, yet they have the gall to demand we, the owners of the land and resources, must now pay taxes to them on top of their theft." Treaties 1 to 11 representatives went home last week from a Winnipeg conference to seek support in their regions to initiate railway blockades in traditional territories.

OPP "Traitors to Canada" and "Sell-Outs" to Americans: "Salty Dalty" Rubbing Salt Into His Own Wounds - Kahentinetha Horn, Mohawk Nations News, June 13, 2006 - NEWS FLASH! "Secret" documents found in U.S. Border Patrol vehicle confiscated by Six Nations -- OPP collaborating with U.S. agents since day one -- "Dirty tactics" revealed -- names, addresses, phone numbers of spies and sell-outs listed! Subversive agenda verified. * * * To Ontario Premier Dalton "Mike Harris/Ipperwash Copycat" McGuinty: Your clowns are really putting on a show, aren't they? Friday June 9th was a bad day for the "Keystone Cops" of the Ontario Provincial Police OPP and the U.S. Border Patrol. All our suspicions have been confirmed. Ontario's representatives are sell outs to the Americans and they've been dealing with us in bad faith. So what else is new? Dalty, your henchmen were caught red handed. They were trying to cook up a storm and got caught in their own tornado. What goes around comes around. We now have hard evidence proving that you and your guys have been collaborating with the enemy from the beginning of our reclamation of our land. The U.S. is currently barricading the imaginary colonial international border. They routinely treat Canadians as if they're all suspected terrorists. This doesn't seem to bother you. It's probably because the OPP has already sold out to the U.S. Why was the U.S. Border Patrol policing the boundary of the Six Nations? That's because the American "gonzos" think they already own Canada. They're conducting surveillance on us because they see the Six Nations boundary as the "last frontier." Canada is already under their control. We're the last holdouts. That's why they're after us. We always suspected the OPP was collaborating with Canada's enemies. Now we know for sure. Ever the allies of the Canadian people, our guys at Six Nations caught the OPP in their betrayal. Instead of thanking us for saving your necks, the OPP issued "arrest warrants." As an institution that is supposed to protect the Canadian people, they proved they are totally corrupt. Ontario was supposed to ensure that the law is upheld and that the Six Nations land reclamation is dealt with peacefully. We found out on Friday the OPP have been trying to provoke violence right from the start. Ontario and Canada do not want to work co-operatively with us. As you said, you've been treating us as "antagonists." Antagonists!! And we haven't done one goddamn thing wrong! This proves you never dealt with us in good faith. You labeled us and were out to get us from day one. The OPP are going to have to wear their riot gear and flak jackets full time from now on. Welcome to the Nazification of Ontario. They don't have to worry about us. It's the internal OPP gang warfare and the revenge from their American gangster buddies that should scare them. Those guys believe in using violence to solve things. Their biggest fear is the truth, which is coming out now. The truth is our best weapon. Transparency is our credo. We believe in open, honest and fair relationships. Your OPP are trying to recover copies of classified documents containing the identities of your undercover officers and operational details concerning our reclamation. Too late! Everybody and his uncle probably has a copy by now. You even purport that we "stole" secret documents from these spies and traitors, even though we turned them over to you, along with all the contents of your trespassing vehicle. This was being driven with reckless disregard for the lives and safety of the People at the site. The documents that prove the dishonesty of your dealings were in the U.S. Border Patrol SUV with the two U.S. ATF agents and an OPP officer. Now the whole world knows about your treachery, not just us. Many know the names of all OPP officers and U.S. agents who have been skulking around Six Nations, their home phone numbers, and many details of their surveillance operations. Also seen was information from confidential informants dating back to the beginning of the standoff. On the other hand, the OPP could be "black jacketing" our people. Dalty, you didn't put my name on that list, did you? This is what the U.S. did in the 1970's in their operation known as COINTELPRO (counter intelligence program). You might have been trying to start a war of natives against natives. All the natives on the list should be given a chance to speak to our people. We must not fall into that trap, if indeed that is what it is. In the end the public should at least have an opportunity to question you and maybe even believe or doubt your own agents' veracity. One of our people gave the documents to the Hamilton Spectator who also made their own copies. Yesterday, your OPP cried and appealed to them to immediately return the copied documents. This is real news but the corporate media probably won't publish it. "That information is very important and we need to get it back." We are sure someone will give you a copy if you don't have one yourself. They're all over the place. It's an ill wind that doesn't blow anyone any good. "I can't stress that enough," said your OPP Acting Detective Staff Sergeant Anthony Renton. Yeah! It's like being caught with your pants down with the neighbor's wife. Your big affair with the Americans is now public knowledge. You really are the Keystone Cops. The OPP officer said the information in the documents "is very sensitive law enforcement information that places people at risk as police officers." They're at risk alright because they've been found out to be traitors and enemies to democratic governance, the most basic principles of law and order. Well, it's going out to the Canadian public. We'll let them decide your fate. Fortunately for you, most decent people don't support the skullduggery you promote. Well, it sure makes good reading. You're killing us with laughter. Maybe someone will make a comedy movie out of this. Dalty, you'll be famous, just like Inspector Clouseau! Renton would not discuss the documents' impact on officer safety, operations or talks to end the standoff. The danger is from Canadians who are probably screaming mad or laughing at you. We've been saying all along, Canadians, awake! News that the confidential information had fallen into our brown native hands sent shock waves through the OPP union yesterday. They've recently criticized OPP leaders for compromising the safety of their frontline officers, who are constantly being attacked by their Caledonia set-up "rioters." This must be role playing. No one on our side has ever attacked the OPP. The revealed documents should put to rest the fears of straight police officers. The violence was probably all concocted by the OPP. "I'm speechless," said Karl Walsh, president of the Ontario Provincial Police Association. He's now waiting for somebody higher up their chain of command, Dalty, to tell him what to say. Trying to backpedal now, OPP officials are trying to get everyone to believe that the ATF and U.S. Border Patrol are here to learn from them! Dream on! You know damn well you called in the Wackos from Waco yourself. They're learning to trip over themselves. You just let them run right over you. They're here to spy and smear our reputation. They even tried to make the Canadian public think we're terrorists and tried to tie us in with other so-called terrorists. But the terrorists are you and your American cohorts. It all has to do with the "new world order" and they're trying to make all of us come under one law which is being done through force. Just like those smart cards you want us to carry that have all our personal information on them. You want to help set us up so we can't make a transaction without the marks of the "beast" on it. Don't you remember Hogan's Heroes, with all the checkpoints, "Vhere is your papers?" as they point the machine guns at your head?! The SUV was first spotted on Argyle Street in Caledonia with someone leaning way out of the vehicle taking photos of the natives' barricades. Then it sped off when protesters approached them. Natives followed the vehicle and an altercation occurred when it slowed down. One of its occupants jumped out and hurt himself. Or was he thrown out? This is what you called "attempted murder"! It's really attempted suicide! He's getting despondent because he can't get into a damn good knock 'em down, drag 'em out bust up with us. He needs a time machine so he can go back to the "Lone Star" Hollywood movie set. "One of our men, we understand, then jumped into the vehicle and drove it back onto the site. It was full of sophisticated radio and high tech equipment and a bunch of documents." After an investigation by our security, we immediately returned the SUV to the OPP. Several hours later the photocopied documents were returned to their native liaison officers. Soon, we imagine, it will be all over the internet for everyone to see. That's the way it should be in a true democracy. The intelligence officer's log includes details of an OPP operation post being set up in the Hamilton area. As if we didn't know about that already. We knew the army was there right on Lake Erie. Our guys spotted the army last Thursday, the day before the incident with the ATF guys. Yeah! We were set up. We've got the proof now. A lot of people have a list of checks into the background of natives and Caledonia residents. We have information from the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) that "white supremacist skinheads" were being brought into Caledonia which they say "did not materialize." Even the skinheads don't want to fight us. How can anyone hate us, Dalty? Unless it's bought and paid for by the state. Now we know they were not from Caledonia as the OPP have been saying, they were actually brought in as paid provocateurs. Just as we have been reporting all along. Unlike the corporate media! They did have one interview with a Caledonia resident though. She complained the standoff frightened her children. The officer wrote: "Her kids are on the school bus and they were told to do up the windows." It proves that we're not a danger to the public. It's them. Another media spin on how horrified the kids are, not of us, but of them. Who wouldn't be with thousands of gun toting maniacs walking the streets of Caledonia. The bus didn't go through Six Nations. It only went through Caledonia. They're scaring their own kids! Return to top OPP Colludes With ATF "Wackos from Waco": Fake "Attempted Murder" Charges Laid Against Six Nations Defenders - Kahentinetha Horn, Mohawk Nation News, June 12, 2006 - Flash! ATF agents, U.S. Border Control vehicle, eye in the sky, encircling and victimizing the Indigenous people. It suddenly occurs to us that U.S. President George Bush might be testing his killing machine in Canada before he does it on his own people. He wants to make sure his network of spies, deportations and killings work out somewhere else first. We Indigenous people are the only ones publicly standing up to this. Everyone else has been scared into silence. It looks like he's got the cooperation of his puppet, Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. People like us are dangerous to anyone with these kinds of designs. It might be too late for Canada. Bush's plan seems to already be in motion. There are now warrants out for 7 of our Six Nations men. One is even charged with "attempted murder." We didn't see any weapons or any premeditated criminal intent. The only people doing something they planned in advance were the OPP and ATF Border Patrol. The two incidents on Friday June 12th, 2006, were obviously orchestrated. Everyone knows our people are not going out in the middle of the night into Caledonia to attack their hired "vigilantes" who are brought around quickly to the site to wave their professionally made "Bring in the army" signs. We are not going to the police lines to bother them. We are quietly standing ready to protect our people and our territory. Every human being has that right! Why are we being treated as an exception? The story of our stopping the gray car from running us down and our capturing the ATF spies were in the mainstream media. What seems strange is that there is absolutely no embarrassment about the collusion with the 'U.S. Border Patrol,' as if everyone should think it was normal for U.S. policing agents to have free rein on Canadian territory. Manipulated media presentations claim the U.S. Border Patrol vehicle was "swarmed," forgetting to mention the vehicle was trespassing. They say the vehicle was "stolen," forgetting to mention that it was being used in a wreckless and illegal manner. In this day and age, when hosts are being made responsible for drunk drivers, why should it seem odd that the vehicle is taken away from drivers who are obviously behaving irresponsibly? The media did mention the vehicle was later returned. Since when has keeping somebody's property safe from misuse been deemed theft? They know that whatever the public hears the first time is what they remember. By the time this goes to court, the charges will be changed because there are no witnesses or evidence. Look at Ipperwash. Ten years later they have an inquiry and the main OPP witnesses are mysteriously dead! Even to the Confederacy chiefs, the reality is different. They are made to look like they are distancing themselves from it. Recent incidents are meant to prime the public so they will accept armed rule in Canada, starting with the invasion of our territory. Our men, if arrested, would be "prisoners of war" because they are defending our territorial jurisdiction as a result of intense orchestrated provocation by the enemy. They want to shoot, kill and maim our people. They don't want to deal with the land or genocide issue. It's a trumped up murder charge that can't possibly stick. Our people have been here peacefully the whole time. They can't deal with us in peace. So they want to create a violent atmosphere which is the only way they know how to deal with us. They're totally lacking in imagination. They have no training in the methodology of peace. They're running around with weapons and only approach us in aggressive ways. We haven't heard so much as a public apology for the well-documented theft of our land, let alone a proposal that we get together and work out a viable solution. The army does admit it's around because of the alleged presence of the KKK, skinheads and other provocateurs. They haven't admitted that they encouraged these people to come and have created a situation that is a magnet for unstable people prone to violence, with a little help from them. All the violent incidents have been provoked by these people. Not one of them has been charged. What gives? Why? They don't want Canadians to question why U.S. agents are being invited to conduct operations against people that Canada claims are their citizens. Do Canadians really want the "Wackos from Waco" in their presence? We caught them, for which we should be congratulated. Here we have two nations, Canada and the U.S., colluding against a third, the Six Nations. Grass roots Canadians, like grass roots Americans, do not want gang wars in the government. Yet the OPP is in shameless collusion with the elements in the American government that want to undermine democracy by using violence for control. Our warriors seem to be the only ones with the strength to stand up to this institutionalized hooliganism. Canadians seem to have forgotten what we have done for them. It reminds us of 1813 at the Battle of Queenston Heights when 80 Mohawk warriors held off 2,500 Americans for three days. The British ran all the way to St. Catharines, while the Mohawks retook the guns at the Heights. This is a good example of why the Confederacy, prior to the American Revolution, refused to enter into the war on one side or the other. Even though we had people fighting on both sides, we would not fight against each other. The U.S. does not have any jurisdiction here. These two nations are related by blood but are not original nations on Turtle Island. They are transplants from Europe. Is British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, on his way here too? Is he sending in British commandos to make a third coalition? Is the U.S. preparing to invoke the Patriot Act and in Canada, martial law? They are doing everything they can to provoke native people into falling into the terminology of "terrorist" under their "new world order" (Anglo-American empire). They want to be able to arrest us and put us in their secret prisons with no charges because they say we are dangerous. Wake up, Canadians and Americans! If you don't know your true history, you don't have a future! The initial response by the U.S. Border Patrol and their original stated reasons for being here are false and ridiculous. The media spin is that they are here to learn from the OPP!! Run that by us again! Who's had all the high tech toys? They said they were here just to "observe" how Canada is dealing with the protest. Then they will know what to do when they have the same situation in the U.S.! Next thing you know they'll probably offer to sell the Brooklyn Bridge to Ontario! This is provocation by the U.S. with the help of Canadian control freaks. They did not expect the kind of reaction they got from our men, so swift, so thorough. The ATF exposed themselves! Who knows how long they've been here? Their purpose has come out, which is provocation. They're making it look like there is reluctance and noticeable lack of leadership by the Ontario and Canadian governments. Is it deliberate? This is the way they're thinking. Canada absolutely cannot afford to be just, to follow the rule of law, to abide by their constitution, to honor treaties and commitments, to apply human rights in this situation. If they recognize one Indigenous community, one nation or one territory, then there will be a flood of other Indigenous nations seeking the same justice. If they were to apply true justice, it would have a domino effect, which has already started. One move and they all fall. The only way they have ever dealt with such serious situations as this is by full violent force. Kill everyone! The ones who live, charge them and put them in jail. They are waiting for the right incident (another Batoche?). If it does not come along soon, they will make up one and then come in with the army and heavily armed law enforcement. This would be invading and attacking a peaceful foreign nation and a historic ally. We will continue to act only in self-defense. We are not going on the offensive. We have never been aggressors. But we will not hesitate to defend ourselves. Look at every single confrontation, when Indigenous land is involved, we fought only to defend ourselves. They know we will defend our land and our people. In New York State at Moss Lake when we took back our territory in 1975, over a three year period we were never the aggressors. We only protected and defended. We stood fast on that. In the end New York State saw that they could not justify the use of violent force. Instead there were 250 meetings with us within a three year period to settle the land issue. Ganiengeh is a precedent. It's a model Indigenous community in upstate New York and a major employer of non-Indigenous people. That is what has to happen at Six Nations. We will continue to protect. We are ready and willing to talk for a fair and just resolution. We cannot let these orchestrated incidents be played on us so we become the aggressors. The true aggressors will always be the colonizers. We still have no weapons, which is a last resort. We will always stand as a People. When Canada finally talks itself out of existence with its own words, we will still be here standing. Any of our men will stand up head to head, man to man, without weapons, against any aggressor and we will prevail. That's what happened on Friday. That's why they've laid the exaggerated charge of attempted murder against one of our men. In the past we could stand unarmed against an army that is 100% trained and with the latest weaponry. They will be forced to become murderers. The OPP, Quebec Police, RCMP, Special Ops and the Canadian army know this about us. That is why lately they have not actually shot unarmed men, women and children. That would not be self-defense on their part. That would be murder. Canada is skating on thin ice. They are close to committing murder, as they've done in the past. But now the world is watching. The Cavalry fired on unarmed men, women and children at Wounded Knee in 1876. That is not man to man. They couldn't ever face the Lakota man to man. Just like Attica Prison where they shot and killed guards and prisoners like fish in a rain barrel. This could happen if they come in and committed murder because they're frightened, panicked and enraged. They could shoot everything that moves including their own, like Corporal Marcel Lemay of the Quebec Police who was shot by his own men in 1990. That is their system. We must and will hold our ground. You, Canada, will have to murder us to change the ground. If you don't want to murder us, then you are welcome to come to the peace talks and work out a just resolution. Return to top Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty Says: "I'm Losing My Patience" With Those "Bad Injuns"! - Kahentinetha Horn, Mohawk Nation News, June 12, 2006 - Dear Dalton McGuinty: Dalty, what would you do if someone took your child and claimed it was theirs? You rescued her, they arrived with a bunch of bandidos, who surrounded your house, pointed guns at your family, and said, "We aren't leaving until you give us your daughter and your son who rescued her." That is exactly what you're demanding of us. You do not want to talk to us about the land you stole from us until we take down the barricades we have had to put up to protect ourselves from you and your instigated rioters, and you want us to turn our men over to you. You have no jurisdiction here. If you have a complaint about the behavior of some of our men, put it in writing and send it to the Confederacy Chiefs. They are the proper authorities to deal with any alleged misdemeanors on our territory. This is according to the constitutional arrangements made between us and Canada. Dalty, why are you in a snit? You finally said something about the Six Nations-Caledonia situation. In fact, you shouted. You must be taking lessons on how to deal with the "Natives" from some of the old British colonials who thought, if you shouted loud enough, everybody could understand the Queen's English. You're trying to act like a big tough guy that keeps all your soldiers in place. "I'm running out of patience," you cry, as you shake your head from side to side. Good thing you weren't born native, Dalty. You've only been dealing with this for one day, and look at you! We've been dealing with you cheaters, liars and thieves for centuries. We've had to be patient for hundreds of years before Canada even became a twinkle in Britain's eye. Now you, the wet-behind-the-ears-diapered Dalty, have one heck of a nerve saying you're running out of patience. Did you have any to begin with? Dalty, take another Valium! What you really mean is that your corporate bosses from the weasel clan are running out of patience with you! Dalty, you said, "We have just exhausted our goodwill." If threatening to kill us, shooting our children with tasers, beating up our grandmothers, stealing our land, constantly provoking and sending in your goons to incite riots and violence and shouting racial slurs at us is goodwill, are we ever glad you've run out! You know what, Dalty, do yourself a favor. Take yourself to the Salvation Army goodwill store. An old colonial fogie like you should be recycled. Maybe someone will buy you for 25 cents and take you home to use as a lawn ornament, right next to that black jockey who holds the card tray and the cigar store Indian. What? You're asking other "First Nations" people to come to Six Nations and remove our barricades? What's this? Trying to get them off their territories so you can overrun them? How are you going to do this, Dalty? It just doesn't compute. In our constitution, they have to respect our will and even support us if we are following our philosophy in the Kaianereh'ko:wa, which we are. You Dalty, are trying to turn our Indigenous brothers and sisters against us. Why should this surprise us? That's an old colonial strategy. Do you think somebody might pay 50 cents for you instead of a quarter at the Sally Ann? You would look good next to a collection of Victoria and Albert mugs. Are you waving carrots at the other native people so they'll turn against us? Eat those carrots yourself. It might improve your vision so you can see the reality of the situation, that we are in a lawful position and you are in default on all our land. When someone asked you what you'll do if the barricades don't come down soon, you said, "We'll see." We're shaking in our moccasins, Dalty. We are unarmed. Are you going to be in that long list of serial Indian murderers? You seem to have made up your mind to join the genocide trail of your predecessors. We wonder what the Ontario voters think of you now, as they see you for what you are, "Premier Custer." Why, Dalty, are you so pleased that these illegal warrants have been issued? Are you short of warrants, because you haven't been giving any to your hundreds of rioters who've been attacking us? Was that on your orders? Or do you have a special brand of exclusive arrest warrants that are for Injuns? Poor you! Do you need the address of printers to can make more of those special warrants for your buddies, the KKK, the skinheads, the provocateurs, the ATF, the Special Ops, the rioters and all your other questionable companions? Dalty, you got good and mad about what we did to your patsies who came and tried to run us over with their car and catching those U.S. ATF goofs you sent over here to spy on us. That dear couple were spitting at us, throwing garbage at us, shouting the worst racist slurs imaginable. We had to get them out of here because our children shouldn't be hearing such foul language from so-called adults. They tried to run us over with their car. Where's their attempted murder charge, Dalty? You know who they are! Dalty, is this legal in McGuinty's Ontario? Or is it only legal to run over Indigenous people? Dalty, we told that guy with the camera to stop videotaping us. He kept his camera right in our faces, you know, like they do to you sometime, and you get mad. But we've never heard of you getting charged. Tit for tat! If you're giving a warrant to us, how about issuing one to yourself and all the other politicians who don't put up with this. We aren't even politicians! We're Indigenous people. This violation of our privacy doesn't go with our job. Do you know, Dalty, that you have not been able to drive a wedge between two famous Caledonia and Six Nations residents -- Robbie Robertson and Ronnie Hawkins. Do you feel bad about that? If you want your talks with us to succeed, stop throwing daggers and knives at us. In our way, you are supposed to leave all our sharp objects outside the door before we come inside to talk. On our way out, we are not supposed to pick them back up. Dalty, are you working toward an Ipperwash solution? Whether you like it or not, that's where you're heading. Unless you find a new tune to play! Why has no one been charged for the actual murder of Dudley George? If you are really a law and order guy, shouldn't you lay charges against your predecessor, Mike Harris, for murder? If you keep this up, you might become a murderer yourself. Dalty, you said that you were against the Conservatives' approach of a show of police force. If you're not in charge, who is? You praised the efforts of your neo-Gestapo, whom you call the OPP, and how they came in and attacked us, and beat up our grandmothers. Like Mike Harris, you will go down in history for mishandling the Six Nations dispute and your political career will go down the toilet too, just like Mike. Dalty, Harris' lawyers have warned you that you're risking legal action if you state the obvious, that Harris issued direct orders to the police to go into Ipperwash and "shoot em up."
