MAP-ONTARIO

Link to Map on Raremaps.com Title: Map of the Indian Tribes of North Amer­ica about 1600 A.D. along the Atlantic; & about 1800 A.D. West­wardly | Map Maker: Amer­i­can Anti­quar­ian Soci­ety | Place / Date: Cam­bridge, MA / 1836 | Col­or­ing: Hand Col­ored

Pub­lished by the Amer; Antiq; Soc: From adraw­ing by Hon; A. Gal­latin. Pendleton’s Lith­o­g­ra­phy, Cam­bridge Mass­a­chu­setts, 1836,15x16, sub­stan­tial hand color. This is the famous Gal­latin map that Wheat speaks so favor­ably about. Gal­latin had made a long study of the Indian tribes and pub­lished this map locat­ing the tribes his­tor­i­cally. The map has ten col­ors and these areused to locate the var­i­ous tribes and was the ear­li­est map to do so and thus he is called the father of Amer­i­can Eth­nol­ogy. Gal­latin was not con­tent with this accom­plish­ment and added new impor­tant infor­ma­tion in the south west based on Smith’s explo­rations.  Smith’s routes of 1826 and 1827  are shown on the map. With them for the first time is shown the Great Basin and the gen­eral lay­out of the rivers in the region.

The Sov­er­eign Nations known to be the Six Nation Con­fed­er­acy, have over time been defined by cor­po­rate mech­a­nisms to exploit the wealth of the first nations peoples.

Like then, today we face cor­po­ra­tized manip­u­la­tion of our inter­ests and that leads to con­fu­sion of the issues, how­ever sim­ply does the cor­po­ra­tion have a bet­ter claim than the Real-Six Nations and its members?

Over the last two years I have been ques­tion­ing the law­ful nature on which Brant­ford Relies to side­step our inter­ests, the con begins when Brant­ford is allowed to con­tinue to par­cel off and sell free and clear titles to land it does not law­fully own.

In the paper­work We have filed, we asked for the orig­i­nal instru­ments that con­vey title from the six nations to the city. I believe all that exists is a lease agree­ment that the city has which has never been hon­ored, the city and upper gov­ern­ments are proud of this fact because it dis­misses the orig­i­nal oblig­a­tion by not estab­lish­ing oblig­a­tion through any pay­ments that may have been made.

Another lame argu­ment that the crown allow us to use the land, how­ever it is they who fol­lowed the six nations after they [Britons] where van­quished from the USofA, then only after con­trived attacks on our peo­ple, the crown offered pro­tec­tion in exchange for our sov­er­eignty, a one handed agree­ment that in all com­mon since seems evi­dently unlaw­ful, and attempts to over­step the found­ing treaty/agreement known as the TWO ROW WAMPUM, “a per­pet­ual reser­va­tion of our sovereignty”

War

A con­tention by force; or the art of par­a­lyz­ing the forces of an enemy. National wars are said to be offen­sive or defen­sive. War is offen­sive on the part of that gov­ern­ment which com­mits the first act of vio­lence; it is defen­sive on the part of that gov­ern­ment which receives such act; but it is very dif­fi­cult to say what is the first act of vio­lence. If a nation sees itself men­aced with an attack, its first act of vio­lence to pre­vent such attack, will be con­sid­ered as defensive.

Some claim that we will only see a mon­e­tary set­tle­ment for occu­pied lands we already hold para­mount inter­est to, well we have set the price and its now up to the Cor­po­ra­tion of the City of Brant­ford to accept or dis­honor your­selves once. again.

Com­mer­cial Affi­davit: http://benjamindoolittle.com/Original-Authority.html

Affi­davit “Orig­i­nal Author­ity” sent to the City of Brant­ford demand­ing proof of claims they hold supe­rior inter­ests. The affi­davit was unre­butted, and is now the law on which mine and the cities rela­tion­ship and under­stand­ing is based.

Pre­ven­tive Justice

Exo­dus 20:15Deuteron­omy 5:19 “You shall not steal.”

Exo­dus 22:5 “If a man causes a field or vine­yard to be grazed over, or lets his beast loose and it feeds in another man’s field, he shall make resti­tu­tion from the best in his own field and in his own vine­yard.” Take steps to safe­guard the prop­erty of oth­ers.

Love for our neigh­bors requires respect for their prop­erty, which was given to them by God and for which they must exer­cise stew­ard­ship before Him. We must not allow any care­less­ness on our part to be a cause of our neighbor’s prop­erty being dam­aged or destroyed. The peo­ple of Israel were expected to take pre­ven­tive mea­sures in order to ensure that their cat­tle or herds did not wan­der into the fields or vine­yards of their neigh­bors. They could put up hedges, make sure their cat­tle were not unat­tended as they grazed, or by other means guard against infring­ing the prop­erty rights of their neigh­bors. To fail to do so and to allow one’s beast to graze in the fields of your neigh­bor was to steal from your neigh­bor, and thus upset the bal­ance of jus­tice. The way to avoid this was to take pre­ven­tive steps, to use good plan­ning and proven means to ensure that your neighbor’s wealth would not be jeop­ar­dized by your lack of con­sid­er­a­tion and love. Pre­ven­tive jus­tice attempts to antic­i­pate actions that might bring harm to oth­ers or their prop­erty and to pre­scribe means to avoid that hap­pen­ing, to ensure that the scales of jus­tice remain in bal­ance. Traf­fic laws are an excel­lent con­tem­po­rary exam­ple. In order to pro­tect the lives and prop­erty of our neigh­bors, all dri­vers are expected to con­form to the rules of the road, thus pre­vent­ing acci­dents by rea­son­able means adhered to by all.

Note: Canada’s own crim­i­nal code is a viable source to base our inde­pen­dent charges, we may not rec­og­nize it but it is some­thing which the Cana­dian courts can under­stand, besides the men and women should know the risk if they have left that up to the solic­i­tor they are fools!

Cana­dian Laws Deal­ing With Fraud

Note: the fol­low­ing “CODE” [laws] have been con­densed and para­phrased for ease of under­stand­ing and rel­e­vance to the frauds cov­ered. They are for ref­er­ence use only to show the duplic­ity of respon­si­bil­ity and the myr­iad nature of deter­min­ing an ade­quate offense. It is hoped that the offend­ers will be charged with all applic­a­ble offenses in order to boost the sentence

Crim­i­nal Code Offences

Cana­dian theft and fraud laws are built on the sim­ple notion that exploitive dis­hon­esty should be for­bid­den. Start­ing from the premise that hon­esty and dis­hon­esty are such basic notions that every­body under­stands them, crim­i­nal law should clearly pro­hibit acts com­monly con­sid­ered dis­hon­est to under­line this under­stand­ing. A per­son com­mits fraud who dis­hon­estly by a) deceit; b) unfair nondis­clo­sure; c) unfair exploita­tion induces any per­son or the pub­lic to part with any prop­erty or to suf­fer a finan­cial loss.

This cov­ers dis­hon­est appro­pri­a­tion by deceit as in cases where the owner is deceived into will­ingly part­ing with his prop­erty with the inten­tion of per­ma­nently depriv­ing the other of it. While deceit means any false rep­re­sen­ta­tion it does not include an expres­sion of opin­ion not made as a state­ment of fact.

A seller has some lat­i­tude in “puff­ing” his goods, but he is not autho­rized to mis­rep­re­sent them or to assign to them ben­e­fits they do not pos­sess. State­ments made for the pur­pose of deceiv­ing prospec­tive pur­chasers can­not prop­erly be char­ac­ter­ized as mere puff­ing.

Unfair nondis­clo­sure is where a duty to dis­close arises from

blue bullet point a) a spe­cial rela­tion­ship enti­tling the vic­tim to rely on the accused or
blue bullet point b) con­duct by the accused cre­at­ing a false impres­sion in the victim’s mind or
blue bullet point c) cir­cum­stances where nondis­clo­sure would cre­ate a false impres­sion in the mind of any rea­son­able person.

Unfair exploita­tion means exploitation

blue bullet point a) of another’s men­tal deficiency
blue bullet point b) of another’s mis­take inten­tion­ally or reck­lessly induced by the accused or
blue bullet point c) another’s mis­take induced by the unlaw­ful con­duct of a third party act­ing with the accused.

(3) Where … prop­erty … (a) can­not, on the exer­cise of due dili­gence, be located, (b) has been trans­ferred to a third party, © is located out­side Canada, (d) has been sub­stan­tially dimin­ished in value or ren­dered worth­less, or (e) has been com­min­gled with other prop­erty that can­not be divided with­out dif­fi­culty, the court may, instead of for­feit… (1), order the offender to pay a fine in an amount equal to the value of that prop­erty, part or interest.

Impris­on­ment in default of pay­ment of fine

(4) … the court shall (a) impose, in default of pay­ment of that fine, a term of impris­on­ment (i) not exceed­ing six months, where the amount of the fine does not exceed ten thou­sand dol­lars, rang­ing upwards to (vii) not less than five years and not exceed­ing ten years, where the amount of the fine exceeds one mil­lion dol­lars; and (b) direct that the term of impris­on­ment … be served con­sec­u­tively to any other term of impris­on­ment imposed …

Order of restora­tion of property

(3) Where a court is sat­is­fied that any per­son … is the law­ful owner or is law­fully enti­tled to pos­ses­sion … the court may order that the prop­erty or part thereof be returned to that person.

Appli­ca­tion by per­son claim­ing inter­est for relief from forfeiture

462.42 (1) Where any prop­erty is for­feited to Her Majesty … any per­son who claims an inter­est in the prop­erty, other than the offender … may, within thirty days after that for­fei­ture, apply by notice in writ­ing to a judge for an order under sub­sec­tion (4). (2) The judge to whom an appli­ca­tion is made under sub­sec­tion (1) shall fix a day not less than thirty days after the date of fil­ing of the appli­ca­tion for the hear­ing thereof. (3) An appli­cant shall serve a notice of the appli­ca­tion made under sub­sec­tion (1) and of the hear­ing thereof on the Attor­ney Gen­eral at least fif­teen days before the day fixed for the hear­ing. (4) Where, on the hear­ing of an appli­ca­tion … the judge may make an order declar­ing that the inter­est of the appli­cant is not affected by the for­fei­ture and declar­ing the nature and extent of the inter­est. (6) The Attor­ney Gen­eral shall … (a) direct that the prop­erty or the part thereof to which the inter­est of the appli­cant relates be returned to the appli­cant; or (b) direct that an amount equal to the value of the inter­est of the appli­cant, as declared in the order, be paid to the applicant.

Killing by influ­ence on the mind

228. No per­son com­mits cul­pa­ble homi­cide where he causes the death of a human being (a) by any influ­ence on the mind alone, or (b) by any dis­or­der or dis­ease result­ing from influ­ence on the mind alone, but this sec­tion does not apply where a per­son causes the death of a child or sick per­son by will­fully fright­en­ing him.

Pentortoise Green Model: Eco-Home

ecohome09

After con­cider­able amounts of recearch and input from freinds of the Eco-project, we have a basic model of the Eco-Home and the­ory model, we will build the model in 3d to get the footage right then we will make a foam­board ver­sion for pre­sen­ta­tion and to brain­storm for more effec­tives or alter­na­tive solutions.

As you can see from the sketch we are using var­i­ous fea­tures to nat­u­rally work with nature and her ele­ments, for exam­ple the sun in the sum­mer month will only touch the base of the solar­ium while in the win­ter month, a lower sun will enter the solar­ium for max­i­mum expo­sure to day­light and year round gar­den­ing in the solar­ium. The north­ern roof is sloped to will allow for min­i­mum wind expo­sure dur­ing the win­ter months min­i­miz­ing heat loss.

The process is very excit­ing and as always your input is val­ued and welcomed.

Natural Brownfield Remediation

Reproduction

As we approach the need to advance our recov­ery plans and reme­di­a­tion of infected lands, here are a few sound solu­tions to stim­u­late growth within the Recov­ery projects scheme. The team has put together some mod­els for future use of the famed Green­wich Mohawk Brownfield.

From the very start, sus­tain­abil­ity has played a major role in the devel­op­ment of Pen­tor­toise Projects from a social, eco­log­i­cal and eco­nomic viewpoint.

The coöper­a­tive plan­ning process, work­ing closely together with local res­i­dents, envi­ron­men­tal asso­ci­a­tions, her­itage pro­tec­tion, tourism organ­i­sa­tions and local and can­tonal author­i­ties, forms the solid basis for Pen­tor­toise Projects.

We have also opened the chan­nels of com­mu­ni­ca­tion with lead­ers in nat­ural bio-remediation, which we con­sider inno­v­a­tive and with the wake of the gulf oil spill there has been abun­dant prac­tice with much suc­cess. Our mis­sion is to stay 100% away from chem­i­cal clean­ers chem­i­cal soil washing.

How­ever this may be a slow process, but it would be the safest way to extract the heavy met­als and oils by earth­worms, mush­room cul­tures and fast grow­ing veg­e­ta­tion to draw up the toxic remnants.

Teams of researchers in Venezuela and Argentina are on the verge of ele­vat­ing the lowly earth­worm to rock­star sta­tus when it comes to clean­ing up haz­ardous mate­ri­als. They are study­ing the abil­ity of earth­worms to reme­di­ate soil con­tain­ing lead, mer­cury, and other con­t­a­m­i­nants, and so far the worms seem to be get­ting the job done, by eat­ing as much as 7–30 times their body mass in one day.

Worms and Green Remediation

Worms are basi­cally a diges­tive sys­tem that can move about on its own, and humankind has long exploited their capac­ity for trans­form­ing organic mat­ter into rich, nutrient-laden soil through the prac­tice of ver­mi­cul­ture or more domes­ticly known as the com­puter. More recently, at least agri­cul­tural oper­a­tions have begun to adopt ver­mi­cul­ture specif­i­cally to pre­vent piles of rot­ting food waste from con­t­a­m­i­nat­ing nearby water­ways. This comes close to green reme­di­a­tion, which is the use of alter­na­tive tech­niques to clean up con­t­a­m­i­nated soil or water, rather than dig­ging out the site, cap­ping it off, or treat­ing it with harsh chemicals.

Worms and Heavy Metals

The new research takes it a step beyond, by using worms to clean up met­als and other toxic chem­i­cals. One team used worm-produced soil (ver­mi­com­post) to absorb con­t­a­m­i­nated waste-water that con­tained nickel, chromium, vana­dium, and lead. The other team used a more direct method, set­ting the earth­worms loose on soil con­t­a­m­i­nated with arsenic and mer­cury. In both cases, the worms removed a sig­nif­i­cant amount of the tox­ins, par­tic­u­larly in the case of arsenic.

Another Tool for Green Remediation

The green reme­di­a­tion work­force is expand­ing rapidly. Along with worms, microbes are being recruited into the field. New research is yield­ing other exotic approaches, like “swelling glass” that can soak up pol­lu­tants like a sponge, and “hot bub­bles” of pres­sur­ized ozone gas that break down pol­lu­tants.  Mean­while, the energy needed to run pumps, treat­ment plants and other reme­di­a­tion equip­ment is also get­ting greener, as solar power and other forms of alter­na­tive energy are being adopted for site cleanup.

In 1881 Dar­win wrote: “It may be doubted whether there are many other ani­mals which have played so impor­tant a part in the his­tory of the world, as have these lowly orga­nized creatures.”
