Notice of Title and warning of Eviction

Dear Mr. Jarvis, and Claire, and all:

I agree with most of what you are saying to each other here, but have other views on a few points.

Perhaps having been farther down these roads than most of you, it was my good fortune to be born on perimeters of races, tribes, classes and kinds of people, a grandson of the most wealthy of families in my local community, on one side half-breeds exploiting every aspect of the first half of the 20th Century, on the other the Hudson's Bay Company family. The first thing I noted when I began to attend school was the synthetic character of everyone, white people, the Status Indians, and even in the news, all trying out what it meant to be Canadian around 1950. This would be at the very beginning of the Market System now dominating the Planet; Eaton's and Sear's catalogues lived with us. But growing up in River Canyons, forests and on Mountains gave me a sense of what is real and of what just cannot be made to work in harmony with nature, like a sawmill. So I always sought after a real social system, and repeat my main mantra, that Potlatch does constitute the future of governing.

Potlatch is largely an institutional placebo that comes laced laced with all the antibiotics needed to overthrow the Market. It is as much imaginary as real, having been destroyed by the Potlatch Law. It is no more than "Towns Meeting", with food.

What I wish to raise in the context of your remarks, Mr. Jarvis, is the potential role of these kinds of EMAIL, or INTERNET networks, in future administration of the global government that will now come in around the True Story. By "come in around the True Story" I mean to say, law will shift from promoting the Market interests of Corporations, Bankers, factories, resource extraction, to guiding the Adaawk, the Human Story, along its most just and equitable course. Judges would apply legislation, passed into law by process of Potlatch, that reverses the present priorities of massive and always military resource exploitation, to more sensitive and delicate, simple living among friends and neighbors on Earth. The only thing that must be done is to denounce the use of force by all Humankind, and then re-identify ourselves as a species that is indigenous to the Planet, rather than some form of consuming beast intent on the destruction of life.

Protocols are absolutely necessary to communicating on the global scale. I think the greatest danger to "democracy" defined as Free Speech, is the extra freedom (power) that accrues to those who find themselves in Claire's position, able to impose her will on the Membership, as censor on behalf of the whole Band. Executive Privilege oft becomes tyrannical ... I guess my message in this note is that, while we went to school in the Market system, and we know that culture contradicts natural ethics and morals, our personal and social passage, or birth, into our Story can be mapped out as a transition from the evil back to the good. The happy thing is that we can return to our main story in a heartbeat, while trying to keep up with the Market stops hearts.

Let me say one more thing related to this kind of process in light of my main point. It is a likely as not, that leaving the Email list open permits evil elements to pollute the whole political body, which we know is the motive behind all of the POMP and CIRCUMSTANCE of State governments that are relied on to maintain a semblance of order both in and out of Legislatures, where we find ourselves faced with the need to assert executive privileges and exclude individuals from the process of administration.

How can one escape this natural paradox, of having power and using power?

Here is where I suggest my definition of indigenous is helpful: the most indigenous individual is the one born nearest to the garden of Eden, in both time and space, possessing the greatest level of competence in living among his Band. This is my definition of Christ. Finding Christ in Heaven I adjusted my definition by seeking the individual who most nearly represents Jesus Christ on Earth, and by deliberate design, Chief Kitsilano owns that distinction. The 'closest to Eden' feature is a principle of the Common Law. The definition authorizes Chief Kitsilano to convey his inheritance to the rest of the world, initiating the Land holding reform which overturns Market culture.

That is why I am focussed on inviting everyone to Potlatch.

I look for comments on this social model and seek your support moving forward within the unique process being born on the Internet by this Olympic event.

I also repeat my fundamental mantra, that no person, or party of persons, who are not members of my Chief Kitsilano Indian Band, have any rights of any kind, on my lands, so since all of BC is my land, it is incumbent on every one in this Province, to cure their trespass against my rights. This should not be taken as an idle requirement but as something necessary to the future of the world for Human existence.

I realize this mandate is way foreign to market minded people, and there are no other kinds on earth right now, but those who detect that what I credit as being owned by Chief Kitsilano, is really the only way to convey to the rest of the population of the world, that each living soul also owns the same rights, but until this claim, had no way to realize those rights against the Dominant Minority.

At the same time You are entitled to be warned that, unless YOU take a real step toward my position, my Blue Heaven must enforce this policy against YOU!

Review my Ultimatum if you have any confusion about my position.

"From what I read and how the situation was dealt with I am not sure that anything more could have been done or in a better way.

I could see where it was going from the first few non-related organizing emails. I've been on several group email lists in the past and yeah it can get difficult when people don't stick to the purpose of the email list.

Being a relatively minor (very minor) player in the organizing to date, I kind of hoped that something would be done to stop the extra and often tedious emails. Of course that's not to say that the content of those emails was not important. But the medium as Marshall McLuhan said became the message.

I experienced something similar to this on a list share in England. It wasn't dealt with as effectively as 2010 welcoming has done. Good job.

Hi folks,

I have sent a follow-up e-mail to Kevin, Rob and Jeremiah letting them know they've been taken off the list, inviting them to attend a general meeting if they have concerns related to organizing the 2010WC, and suggesting other listservs for info.

My understanding of the process we decided last week was that after reasonable warning, people will be taken off the list if they continue to use it as a venue for debating non-organizing related issues. That decision has been shared over the list a few times which to me seems to be sufficient notice as we did not decide who (or whether we) would give them personalized warnings. Given the frequency and personal hostilities of the communications between Kevin, Rob and Jeremiah - including threats of legal redress, etc. and the fact that they had not respected the policy, I made a personal judgment in the spirit of the decision we made last week to take initiative.

I hear and share the concern that organizing culture can (and often does) exclude voices of already marginalized folks. Many people are not present in our space who should be, and not only residents of the Downtown Eastside. I think it is important for us to dedicate time at some point in the future to evaluate how we could have supported more meaningful participation and leadership by a greater diversity of people.

Thanks.

Love,
Cynthia

Hello all,

I was also concerned about the emails unrelated to organzing clogging up the inbox, and support the action to remove non-organizational affiliations from the list. I echo Sozan in underlining the importance of making a space available (such as our meeting space) to have concerns voiced. I feel that dealing with these concerns in person would be a more effective way to gauge the situation; however, it was beginning to feel like the organzing list was being used as a space to debate personal concerns and issues between people which I found to be disrespectful to our organizing efforts.

take care

Claire

Hi folks, I appreciate how hard the decision must have been to decide to
remove people from the list given that much of the discussion, debate, was
unrelated to our organizing. I must however state that i disagree with the
decision to remove them, because we did not actually agree to that (maybe
we might have at the meeting on Thursday, but that process is important).

Also while I do not know everyone well and can't speak to Rob and Kevin's
particular conflict on this list, Rob is a long time DTES resident (and
identified himself as such). While he is responsible for his own actions
on this list, I think there is a culture of communication and organizing
that already excludes those voices that we should be considerate of in
terms of approaches and solutions. I am not suggesting people be added
back on at this point and I appreciate that the majority may think
differently (which is fine too), I just wanted to voice my opinion. (But
this need not become a seperate debate, just wanted to state it, that's
all). Thanks, Harsha

What God?

The Age of the Market is ruled by gods of experience; investment of capital in the certainty that experience fulfills Human being. And so it becomes true, that a form of happiness can be experienced according to a value scale enumerated in terms of a material substitute for the sought for happy feeling: money above all, but thrill and adventure; no mention of the boredom and apathy rending these gods. But the market is sown on the seeds of its own demise, once happiness is free, the market fades like mist.

How ever might some force of argument overturn the need to shop?

One way and one alone: Two streams of literature flow similar channels, both meet in the land. The Age of the Story is the age of the land, the age when the People receive the inheritance promised to those who openly believe. The God of Adam and Eve, same of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; of David, Hosea and Jesus, and the God of Chief Kitsilano, is the God that promised the Land, and I accept that inheritance, in many names, including the name of Jesus Christ.

Chief Kitsilano is as I do, and no land issue is complete without my sign affixed. That is my power, the authority to seal any land Title or right, and place that authority in the Land Title Act of Canada, certified by the Queen of England; I have that power. In matters of land, worldwide, Chief Kitsilano has the first and the last right, (and he knows how to use it).

This is pleasant to Allah, and brings pride to Jesus,

and it validates Alma Mary.

What story offers greater promise of pleasure and contentment? Life, free, on land owned; no other interference! or the Market, the bank. the money, the money ...

The Chief Kitsilano Indian Band is open for un-business as unusual.

Chief Kitsilano Indian Band Olympic position

We wish to convey our position on the Olympics and ask for your support in keeping the country safe.

Our Band supports the Games in principle, and honors all protocols of the local Chiefs.

There is a contingent of agitators protesting the Flame and planning to make nuisances during the Games.

We take the position that no protest is safe in times when Terrorists can infiltrate their ranks,
and we have provided Notice to Websites promoting anarchy, that the Indians of this Province
will not tolerate embarrassment to our dignity as the owners of the land.

No further aggravation of the damage done to our rights will be tolerated, and offensive individuals are liable to be arrested
and penalized for being in Trespass on our land.

OLYMPIC ULTIMATUM

Attention Groups and Individuals Responding and Reacting to 2010 Olympics

Chief Kitsilano and the "Chief Kitsilano Indian Band"

The Official Position, and the area of endorsement of Civil Disobedience

In the published information and further ad hoc rhetoric being provided to people by your coalition, the first complaint is given as the fact that the Event is planned to proceed on Indian Land without Indian consent. The 2nd complaint is given as Poverty and Housing problems. From there the list runs the gamut of personal and group grievances. The Coalition then makes a leap directly to encouraging and cooperating with any kind of run of the mill Protest and obstruction and nuisances, deeming these to be appropriate actions intended to interfere with the Games and cause the World to become aware of the list of complaints.

The Chief Kitsilano Indian Band, based on the Hereditary Title of Chief Kitsilano, is the Paramount owner of all the Land within the Province of British Columbia, which Title and right has been claimed by formal Notice and within an ongoing Court proceeding. No higher Title to land exists in the world, and Chief Kitsilano is presently in Vancouver BC, steadily proving His right of ownership by civil and legal actions. A plan is in place which institutes a system of land reform which will convert all Indian Reserve Lands to Fee Simple, and the same plan will endorse all Fee Simple lands with the Indian Title of Chief Kitsilano. The utility of the new Land holding model resolves all people into a single political order, denominated the Band, resulting in several economies of scale that cannot be attained in the present model of levels of Federal, Provincial, and several Municipal and City, administrations and of the Status Indian interest complex, all and each of which are claiming against the fundamental Ecology of the Land and against the artificial Tax base that is produced by the efforts of Taxpayers and Corporations.

The Chief Kitsilano Plan eliminates that colonial infrastructure and introduces a complete democratic model that operates under the auspices and authority of the Potlatch. Potlatch is defined in this document as a form of Town Hall Meeting with Food. This is not the place to elaborate on Potlatch, except to say that it was made illegal, but is now being revived as an existing Indian right and as the form of government chosen by the Chief Kitsilano Indian Band under which the administration of our land will operate.

The first feature of the impending political model is that it is completely optional. Chief Kitsilano invites each and every soul in the Province to make a choice to join the Band. You can decide to become a "Band Member" with the same rights in the Band as are held by Chief Kitsilano. Those who decline to become Members cannot enter Potlatch but otherwise they have almost all of the rights presently enjoyed by Canadians in Canada; the one benefit they could not enjoy is land ownership; only Indians have the right to own land under Potlatch, but Potlatch has the power to grant Indian Status to anyone.

The second important feature provided to Band Members is ownership of the Planet. It is an impractical political proposition to claim to hold ownership of part of the world. In order to own the land beneath one's residence or feet, that owner must concurrently hold ownership rights of the entire World. Possession of any property amounts to competent knowledge of, and intimate relationship with, the specific property in issue.

Chief Kitsilano's Title is based on Section 35.1 Constitution Act 1982, which is a law external to the Title that came into being following the compounded reaction to the Trudeau 1969 White Paper, but Canada has no legal capacity to restrict us or our claim merely to Canada, and we do extend our same claim of right to Alaska, Washington, and to the rest of the world beyond.

On this basis when we move to enjoy our rights and determine our responsibilities, we are informed by the global ecology and concerned with the whole world population.

How we relate to the Olympics

We appreciate the Olympic sentiment, as well as the social function that is sought to be advanced, in this holiday. Sport played a positive role in developing my character from shy to outgoing, while the annual All Native Tournaments in Prince Rupert served to unite the northern tribes through the convergence in that Northcoast city, of the teams and their contingents. The competition and sportsmanship, as well as the discipline and rules, all came together to raise our people out of the dark age of our cultural interdiction by Canadian Colonial agendas.

It has been noted by a Yale Professor that the Common Law requires for its successful application in society the kind of rule respecting sense of self-discipline that emerged
in Western Europe as the educated classes studied the Classical Civilizations. The same scholar expressed the opinion that the Asian societies did not have the same affinity for the Common Law as a result of not being equally grounded in Sport. Business requires a certain trust in human nature. So the Olympic Ethic has good grounding.

It is a fact though, that the Olympic Spirit, and the principles, were always seen as anti-war, and pro-peace; the same respect for Common Law, law that is defined as protecting all equally well, requires Games and Event organizers to assert a position on the level of violence present in the world at the time of the Games. Also, the Games are a magnet for violent extremists. The world has reached a level of numbness about war demonstrated by awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to a war monger, for it is a fact that Obama sells weapons.

Games Organizers have assumed to themselves levels of political authority, and revenue hungry hosts agree to apply special law regimes while hosting the Event, to the degree that Protest contingents feel justified in active opposition and open criticism, providing the motive for your Coalition.

Chief Kitsilano supports the Games in principle, and encourages civil dissent by those who wish to make their points. Chief Kitsilano is presently withholding the support of his Band from these Olympics on principle because Canada, et al., refuse to comply with its Constitutional law by recognizing and affirming the existing Title and claim belonging to Chief Kitsilano. Chief Kitsilano does not say his land has been stolen because the land is still here under his feet; Chief Kitsilano takes the position that incompetent administrations obedient to ecologically destructive, and inhumane policies, are proceeding under an ultra vires application of authority, without respecting the law that requires them to first consult him, and secondly to conform to his rights of ownership, before they can act in any way on Chief Kitsilano lands.

At this point in this monograph Readers are encouraged to understand that the Kitsilano Indian Band operates within the universal realm of power of Secalie Tyee, the Great Spirit, and that Human Reality operates within a particular true story. Readers can most quickly relate themselves to his story, and to their own stories, by means of applying the larger story of Jesus Christ to their interpretation of reality. The point to be taken from this information is that the present is the product of all the past acts of the world drama. In order to relate yourself to the chronology, dear Reader, you must find your personal role in it along with the other players. As conscious and subconscious energies build toward unification into a single social polity, people assume sides until their good and bad feelings, and their prayers, impact Nature's inherent discretion and that establishes the setting for what are commonly termed "miracles." Juxtaposition of large quorums like Rome and Judea, or Hitler and the West, and even the Canadian and Russian Hockey teams, are fertile settings for the supernatural catharses that come to be called miracles. This Olympic Event poises energies from the whole history of Humankind, from Adam and Eve to you.

It is because of the foregoing that it is critically important for those wishing to see justice, and for those who are able to contend against others to secure it, that they follow strict protocols because virtue always determines the outcomes of the collision of good and evil. Those lining up to impose their will on the Olympic event have to guard against exceeding the very evil they intend to expose.

Chief Kitsilano attended the Spartacus Meeting last night, and introduced himself to a few members of the Coalition where his agenda was broached very briefly. The participants at that meeting were cold to him and expressed their desire to avoid his submission.

This was a serious breach of manners as well as overt ignorance of protocol.

In that way these particular protesters joined the Olympic Organizers in assuming rights against Chief Kitsilano that they do not possess. Whether this was done deliberately or is simply a matter of their character is not important; what is important is that all who are uninformed about the Chief Kitsilano Plan, make themselves aware of it and that they understand they have a simple choice going forward: respect and obey the authority belonging to Chief Kitsilano, or oppose it. No one will be permitted to continue past this Olympic Event who has not given their oath for, or against the story of Chief Kitsilano and in the same way,of confirming the truth of the story of the Lord Jesus Christ!

This is the real political position in which this event is about to take place, and two critically serious concerns apply: the first is the possibility of a Terrorist attack; the second is the probability of a major Spiritual event - the Miracle!

The Protest Coalition must recognize and accept that its actions provide fertile grounds on which disasters can occur. The same footing applies to the Miracle. Without adding anymore to this point, Readers, you have notice that the Miracle of 9-11-1 was prelude to next February, and you are apprized of the fact that Chief Kitsilano played a role in presenting bin Laden with his opportunity to protest the same Beast as now animates these Olympics.

At the same time the Coalition must actively recognize Chief Kitsilano, and must try to comprehend that it holds a duty to take real action that affirms Chief Kitsilano, and must meet actual terms of agreement with the Chief Kitsilano Indian Band, in order to locate their actions on the Good side of the world story. No one has authority to proceed with the games, or to stop them, without first acquiring accreditation from Heaven by uniting with Chief Kitsilano and his Chief Kitsilano Indian Band.

Chief Kitsilano Ultimatum

Chief Kitsilano assumes the responsibility of completing the Kingdom of Heaven in terms of the story of Jesus Christ, while taking no part in any other person's relationship to the Lord. Accepting that Heaven has settled on himself and the Chief Kitsilano Indian Band, the inheritance of the world that is promised to Humankind, and being within the Law of Canada, your Chief is entitled, and has authority to, adopt anyone into his Band by means of Potlatch. Upon your adoption you receive the same inheritance of the world.

There is a Minority of souls whose interests will seem to be diminished by the application of this Indian Title, and that Minority is guilty of imposing itself on a weaker and less organized Majority of Human Beings.

It is the right of Chief Kitsilano to invite everyone to join his Band, and that right has been and is being asserted, by oral and written notice (as in the Spartacus Meeting last night). No right exists or can be enforced that requires anyone to choose to join our Band. At the same stroke everyone may be invited to Potlatch, and no one can enter Potlatch without solemn invitation.

While this circumstance is less than familiar to Readers, it is a matter of the law and you have an obligation within it, to Chief Kitsilano and to yourself, to either respond or to react equally formally, in writing or by an oral assertion that can be understood. Until you become a Member of the Band you stand in Trespass and are subject to all the penalties that apply to trespassers who refuse to cleanse their mistakes.

The drop-dead date for this ultimatum coincides with the Olympics.

Readers may have questions they wish to raise but the law makes no allowance for any delay in recognizing our Title, which preempts debate until you comply with the wording of your constitution and formally recognize and affirm Chief Kitsilano as your Chief, and until you purge your illegal state of being in the world by qualifying to be invited into Potlatch.

This ultimatum applies to all the world's people to a particular degree but is applicable mostly, in this instance, to the Members of the Coalition, who join the openly violent and invasive Dominant Minority by presuming to take actions on the lands owned and occupied by Chief Kitsilano and the Chief Kitsilano Indian Band.

Procedure

The procedure open to be followed by all who receive this notice, consists of giving us a sign of your recognition of Chief Kitsilano, and then offering to affirm Chief Kitsilano in his Title and his claims by a real act, and finally by proposing to the Chief Kitsilano Indian Band all the ways and the means by which your invitation into, and your adoption by, Potlatch, might be achieved.

Thank you, one and all, for taking due notice of the foregoing and for embarking yourself on the transition from your present illegal condition and thinking, to the clean and pure state required to Potlatch.
