About

Pacific Free Press was launched in March 2007 by Dutch-Canadian Richard Kastelein of V.O.F. Expathos, in the Netherlands along with Chris Cook - CFUV radio journalist and Editor in Chief of Pacific Free Press. Cook is based in , Victoria, British Columbia.

The site is a sister to Atlantic Free Press.

The mission of Pacific Free Press is simple: to dig out nuggets of truth from the slag-heap of lies, ignorance and witless diversion that has buried public discourse today. Pacific Free Press provides a new venue for disseminating hard news and insightful, fact-based analysis of the harsh realities too often ignored or distorted by the mainstream press.

Date with the Crown: First Nations Elders Assaulted by CBSA Now Charged

Statement of People Concerned About the Rights of Two Women Who Were Brutally Assaulted by Canada Border Services Agents by MNN On June 14th 2008 Katenies and Kahentinetha – who are both writers and contributors to Mohawk Nation News were handcuffed and tackled to the ground at the Cornwall border checkpoint. The Canada Border Services agents acted as though they had lost control of themselves, or they had no regard for legal propriety. Neither woman did anything wrong. The attacks were unprovoked but seems to have been directed by whoever was at the other end of the cell phone. Cornwall - July 15, 2008 - Katenies was jailed and held incommunicado for three days. Kahentinetha suffered a heart attack and is under the care of her doctors and her family. Because of her condition Kahentinetha cannot go to court to support Katenies. Katenies demands respect for herself, for anyone who asserts Kanion’ke:haka jurisdiction and condemns Canada’s illegal border. The charges against her are false and vindictive. The Ontario court is public. Anyone who believes in the rule of law and condemns the brutal attacks on these women and many others is welcome to stand with her at: Ontario Provincial Court, 29 – 2nd Street West, Cornwall Ontario, 9:00 a.m. Mon. July 14, 2008 Legal actions will need to be taken to protect our rights. We have no funds. Canada is hiring costly law firms to defend their illegal actions and suppress our rights. If you can donate anything to our cause, it will be greatly appreciated. Send it to: “MNN Mohawk Nation News”, Box 991, Kahnawake [Quebec, Canada] J0L 1B0. Nia:en/Thank you very much.
