In violation of Western Shoshone sovereignty, the U.S. government's Bureau of Land Management is planning a roundup of Western Shoshone cattle in Crescent Valley and South Fork, Nevada.
For too long, the United States has continued with a patently racist and imperialistic(by its own admission-its "manifest destiny") policy of conquest and domination against other sovereign nations. From Cuba to the Philippines, Puerto Rico to Vietnam, Mexico to the Kingdom of Hawai'i, Newe Sogobia(Western Shoshone Nation) to Palestine(via its puppet state, Isreal), the U.S. consistently has sought to rule the world. The Yankees show total disregard for the rule of law(in this case, International Law) in their zeal for hegemony over this planet, its peoples and environment. This imperialistic, greed and hate driven monster must be stopped through a unified global movement of all people. We must join in calling for the United Nations to take immediate action to stop this illegal act against the Western Shoshone people as the first step of this worldwide effort.
