Broken News: The Canadian government colludes
with industry to commit the FRAUD of proposing a policy of criminal
conspiracy intended
to extract the surrender of Aboriginal Title to crown sovereignty. The scheme in British
Columbia is designed in order to provide “certainty” for the settler state corporate
interests through legaloid mechanisms whose goal is the extinguishment of
aboriginal title.
Today in light of the Standoff at Wet’suwet’en, the fraud is fraught with fear - fear of the truth: A settler
state apparatus that presents its international personality before the world community
as being a successor state to the nefarious Doctrine Discovery of
Christendom does not have the juridical competency nor standing in
international law to legitimately abolish or force surrender of the land title
of the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples.
Up until 1960 and the proclamation of the
universal human right of Self Determination for “All Peoples”
in international law for the first time (UNGA 1514), these policies of
corporate state collusion were called for what they were: colonization,
a crime against humanity and a violation of internal Human Rights law. Today however in 2020, colonization is called
“development”.
With the attention of the world now on the Stand Off at Wet’suwet’en and the conflict over the TC Energy (TransCanada) pipeline projects in Canada, the exposure of the FRAUD in British Columbia only adds to the risk and uncertainty for the international fossil fuel consortia across the board.
This is due to added exposure to international denunciation and legal challenges that will cost the constituencies of the states, and the shareholders of the corporations. The added exposure is one of the consequences of the adoption on September 7, 2007 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which established Indigenous Peoples are recognized as “Equal, to all other peoples…” in international law.

Current case in point: With the announced
change in route of the TC Energy Tuxpan-Tula pipeline in
Pahuatlán, Puebla, Mexico by president Lopez Obrador in January 2020, due to
the resistance of the Indigenous Nahua, Totonaca, and Ñyanhü - the die is cast.
The dominoes will fall. Risk rises, uncertainty
is now a red number in the liability column of the corporate accountants
for the petro-chemical conglomerates.
The right of Indigenous Self Determination is an inherent human right, not a delegated privilege under Section 35 of the Canadian constitution. Neither is it a line item in the UN Development Agenda 2030 to be swapped out in exchange for an elite international bureaucracy of “feathered folk”.
How can TC Energy expect to get away with committing open fraud and complicity in corruption in Mexico, and then turn to the Indigenous Peoples in Canada and expect them to believe that the Rights of Indigenous Peoples will be recognized and respected without discrimination? How can the Canadian parliament approve the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA-USMCA-TMEC) when these policies and practices of overt corporate colonization are being normalized under the terms of this international “trade” agreement?
The TC Energy (TransCanada) corporation has colluded with the officials in the Mexican government to impose by force, duplicity, and corruption the blatant disregard for the territorial rights of the Indigenous Peoples (359 communities) affected by the Tuxpan-Tula pipeline that connects the seven TC Energy pipeline projects in Mexico with the Texas-Tuxpan pipeline that is submerged under the Gulf of Mexico at Brownsville, Texas.

Clarifications:
The designation of Indigenous Peoples in the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement is definitive, in terms of the recognition of Indigenous Peoples as “peoples”. In the context of the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which was not yet in place in 1994 during the original NAFTA agreement, the recognition of Indigenous Peoples in an international commercial agreement necessarily is accompanied and contextualized by the recognition of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as articulated and affirmed in the principles and articles of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The principle of non-discrimination is a preemptive norm in international law.
Therefore, the recognition of Indigenous Peoples as “peoples” in USMCA Article 32.5 Indigenous Peoples Rights must be taken as an affirmation and commitment to uphold, recognize, respect, and institute guarantees of protection for the collective human rights of Indigenous Peoples, equal to all other peoples, without illegal or arbitrary discrimination, including effective consequences in the form of legal remedies to address the violation of these rights.
Colonization must not be disguised as development.
Consultation is not consent. Indigenous Peoples are rights holders, not mere stake holders in the debate on development. The Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples are not ethnic groups of the settler states in the Americas.
To believe otherwise would be the equivalent of a thousand morons trying to drive a single oxcart.
In the case of Canada, it would be a royal oxcart for sure, but nevertheless it is still an oxcart.

Relatives,
From
here, from these mountains of the Sierra, our message to you is that although
we may live far from each other, I believe that we have to continue fighting
for our Mother Earth and to defend our natural resources for I believe
that the Original Nations of Indigenous Peoples are of the earth,
and we are fully aware and convinced that our struggle is for life, for the
life not only of our Indigenous Peoples but of the millions of people
who inhabit this planet and therefore that we should not back down in
our struggle, but on the contrary I believe we must look for linkages of
communication so we can continue strengthening each other in the common
struggle, and from here in Pahuatlán
we
shall also continue fighting to not let these mega-development projects advance in
our traditional territories.

Today we
extend our international recognition to the Territorial Protocols of the
Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and Clans in full recognition and respect for
having the force of International Law among our Confederations of Original
Nations of Indigenous Peoples, and demand that these protocols of Indigenous
Self Determination be ascribed to as the only future looking path to a just and
peaceful relationship with the settler state systems as they now exist in North
America, including Canada.

Defining the CONTEXT of the Issue: The Right of Self Determination of Indigenous Peoples, "equal to all other other Peoples..."
The violation of the Right of Indigenous Peoples to Free Prior and Informed Consent regarding economic development projects that impact their Human Rights and territories is an issue of FINANCIAL LIABILTY for the constituencies of the states, and shareholders of the corporations operating in complicity and collusion behind the view of public oversight such as in the case of the US-Canada-Mexico agreement USMCA.
A plan announced by Mexico’s President to re-route a pipeline under construction in order to go around indigenous lands has sparked concern among some in the industry regarding future energy projects.
BNN Bloomberg cites analysts as saying the plan could create a risky precedent for indigenous communities that are already protesting a number of pipeline projects. This has already led to a decline in investments.
**************
Mexico Plan to Divert Gas Pipeline Seen Heightening Uncertainty
“The
government of Canada said they bought the pipeline to “de-risk” it. Creating
the appearance of debate among Indigenous people is part of that de-risking.
However, the risks associated with Indigenous rights are different if we’re
talking about the people of Treaty 6, where the pipeline begins, the people of
Tsleil-Waututh Nation, where the pipeline ends, or the Secwepemc, whose lands
the pipeline passes through. Indigenous ownership will do nothing to reduce or
eliminate those different and specific risks.” – Dr. D.T. Cochrane, economist
