Paul de Armond

Due to renewed interest in the no longer available online writing of the late Paul de Armond, Public Good research director 1994-2005, we offer the following.

The essence of Paul’s research is included in a special report on the Anti-Indian Movement, published in January 2018 by the Center for World Indigenous Studies in Olympia WA.

The recipient of the 2016 Paul de Armond Citizen Journalism Award is part of the research and editing team at Noisy Waters Northwest news aggregate, recognized in October 2019 by the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights located in Seattle.

Way-Back Machine

In 2014, Ratical republished my CounterPunch article Netwar in the Big Apple with art.

Here is a quote from Wall St. vs the Indigenous Peoples Movement:

In many respects, Klein and McKibben are like the church missionaries that initially helped subdue the Indigenous Peoples of Canada and the US. Instead of the religion of Christianity, however, they proselytize on behalf of the faith in corporate philanthropy, all the while posing as pious champions of the environment, colonized and downtrodden. This is psychological warfare at its most repugnant.

Holy Warriors

IC Magazine and High Country News coverage of anti-Indian organizations like CERA and its allies in the Tea Party exposes white supremacy ideology and infrastructure within the anti-Indian movement in the United States.

The driving force of the anti-Indian movement in the United States is Christian Identity doctrine, the core belief of Christian Patriots, otherwise known as the militias. Two Christian Patriots committed mass murder in Oklahoma City; seven more were convicted on explosives charges in Seattle. The Militia of Montana and Aryan Nations in Idaho are the best-known examples of holy warriors challenging the authority of state and federal courts to try them for treason and other crimes. CERA is their bedfellow.

My case study Anti-Indian Movement on the Salish Sea–published by CWIS in January, examines them as well as other players like the Tea Party that abet Corporate Crimes.
